	USGS OFR 02-002: Summary Report - Block Island Sound
		An extensive high-resolution, seismic-reflection survey was conducted in Block Island Sound (Figure 1) by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the State of Connecticut Geological and Natural History Survey, Department of Environmental Protection (D.E.P.), to determine the stratigraphic framework and Quaternary history of the sound.
		The portions of southeastern Rhode Island that abut the sound are underlain by Precambrian metasedimentary and metavolcanic country rock that have been intruded by a pluton of Permian age (Hermes and others, 1981).
		However, it appears that the preglacial streams flowed south-southwestward along bedrock and northward down the cuesta front and were tributary to a main stream that began at the divide north of Block Island and flowed westward along the base of the cuesta escarpment.

	Abstract - UG 2000 No. 3; Steinberg
		Levy’s investments in the workplace and the community and his interventions in the town’s built environment were noteworthy because they were grounded in an attempt to reproduce an imagined history of the town, linking images of pre-industrial Puritan New England with the paternalism of the early-industrial Rhode Island System mill village.
