The Delaware Division of State Parks and Recreation, Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control has been working to develop a trail through the White Creek State Park in New Castle County, Delaware. Dovetail Cultural Resource Group was engaged to conduct archaeological and archival studies on a portion of the park, which contains the remains of the Newark China Clay Company 1912 - ca. 1942 (7NC-D-277). Extensive clearing of the understory followed by detailed mapping of the industrial landscape determined the boundaries and extent of preservation were greater than originally projected. The goal was to conduct extensive research on the history of the kaolin mining industry in northern Delaware and southeastern Pennsylvania, analyze the data in relation to the physical layout and landscape of known, extant mining areas, and create a framework for use in the future evaluation of kaolin resources in this region.
