Remote Sensing (Investigation Type)

PROJECT Uploaded by: Chris Morehart

This project examines the long term and continuous production of human landscapes in the northern Basin of Mexico. Building off of several long term and short term projects in this area, this project combines regional archaeological and environmental research with local-scale survey and excavation of communities, households, and water management features. This project examines how the landscape shaped and was shaped by the ways local communities confronted various political entities across time,...

The goals of this project were to develop a more tightly controlled chronology for beach ridge formation, assess the stratigraphic chronology of a small pond on the 'nose of Cape Canaveral, obtain finer resolution of the known chronology of identified archaeological sites, refine depositional processes in some of the known sites, and attempt an environmental reconstruction based on palynological analysis of the sandy cape sediments. The authors analysis concludes that there are no intact...

This report presents a summary of the results of the Blanket Purchase Authority (BPA) 10 project sponsored by the Carlsbad Field Office (CFO) of the Bureau of Land Management and funded under the Permian Basin Programmatic Agreement. The BPA 10 project included six cultural resource projects, including survey inventories, site evaluations, and excavations.

After an intensive remote sensing effort in 2005 failed to identify remains of Fort Louis at the Old Mobile site (1MB94), a large pit feature associated with one of the fort's bastions was found in that search area by hand excavation. This feature and adjacent units were excavated in 2007-2010.

This section provides an overview of archaeological research on the site of Old Mobile (1MB94), French colonial capital of La Louisiane from 1702 to 1711. While the general location of Twenty-seven Mile Bluff on the Mobile River, in modern-day southwestern Alabama, has always been known as the original French colonial townsite, archaeological research only began there in earnest in 1989 when James C. "Buddy" Parnell, an employee of Courtaulds Fibers Inc. recognized several well-preserved earthen...

Structure 1 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) was first noted for its raised earthen floor. Several similar features were visible in the forested, unplowed, western half of the townsite. Complete excavation in 1989 revealed the building to have been built using poteaux-sur-sole, or post on sill, construction. This building had a large central room with three joists supporting a wooden floor. On each end was a smaller room, one of which shared a double-hearth chimney with the central room. The long...

Structure 2 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) was first identified from systematic shovel testing that recovered blacksmithing slag from a concentrated area at the western edge of the townsite, adjacent to a swamp. Extensive excavations in 1990 uncovered a blacksmith's work area with forge and associated shelter, surrounded by a maze of fence footing trenches. Palisade-style fences are commonly associated with French colonial structures, but these fences were built and rebuilt frequently during the...

Structure 3 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94), entirely excavated in 1991-1992, was first noticed as an earthen floor in the woods along the western edge of the townsite, an unplowed portion of the site. This two-room structure was built initially in the poteaux-sur-sole style, but decaying sills led to repair in places with short sections of pieux-en-terre wall foundation trenches. An addition on the northeast side of the building also employed pieux-en-terre wall trenches, forming two open bays,...

Structure 4 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) was first noticed as a preserved earthen floor in the woods in the western, unplowed portion of the townsite. A test excavation in 1991-1992 encountered a modern logging road disturbance immediately east of the structure floor. Excavation of the building site has continued in 2013. The structure was built in the poteaux-en-terre style. There is evidence of an interior brick hearth.

Structure 5 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) was first noticed as an eroded earthen floor in the unplowed western portion of the site, immediately south of Structure 1. Completely excavated in 1991, the long axis of the structure was oriented northeast-southwest, aligned with the town's street grid, as indicated on the two historic maps of Old Mobile. A shallow dirt pit, probably the source of earth for the floor, located immediately south of the structure, was full of midden. On the southwest...

Structure 14 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) was first noticed as an earthen floor partially preserved in the unplowed center of the townsite, in an area that is intermittently flooded by heavy rains. Excavation of this structure has consequently been limited to dry spells in 1992, 1995 and 1998-2003. The long axis of the building was oriented northwest-southeast, aligned with the street grid of the town, as depicted on the two historic maps of Old Mobile. Most of the south half of the structure...

Excavation of Structure 30 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) occurred between 1992 and 1996, with field school student assistance. This two-room building was constructed in the pieux-en-terre style with subsurface wall and fence trenches preserved below plowzone. Relative artifact quantities in the trench features indicate a construction sequence, with the building constructed first, followed some time afterward by erection of a palisade-type fence enclosing the building. The associated artifact...

Structure 31 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) was excavated from 1996 to 2002. This one-room building, constructed in the pieux-en-terre style, had subsurface wall trenches preserved below plowzone. A doorway was visible in the middle of the southwest wall. An additional wall trench extension off the northeast wall may indicate the location of a bread oven platform and hearth. A large pit dug for building material adjacent to the building was found filled with refuse, including four iron...

Structure 32 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) was excavated intermittently between 1996 and 2003, with the entire building plan finally exposed and excavated in 2007. This was a very long pieux-en-terre building, with subsurface wall trenches preserved below plowzone. Built in two nearly identical stages, the final stage of occupation formed a duplex, with an additional wall trench off the southeast wall that probably served as hearth and bread oven platform. The first construction phase consisted...

Archaeological excavations since 1989 have uncovered buried evidence of the earliest French colonial settlements on the northern Gulf coast. Patient scientific study is revealing the original townsite of Mobile, first capital of the Louisiane colony, and remnants of the colony's port on Dauphin Island. This is the story of archaeologists piecing together a fascinating but little-known chapter of America's early history.

Local tradition has long associated the area of Twenty-seven Mile Bluff on the Mobile River with the early French colonial settlement of Old Mobile. But archaeological research on this important historical site is quite recent. A series of newsletters was distributed between 1989 to 1998 to convey to the public the results of archaeological research at Old Mobile by the University of South Alabama.

A Phase I Archeological Survey was conducted of the Little Beaver Lake Campground and the White Pine Trail parking lot expansion area within the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore on August 8th, 2008. The campground, a popular drive-in spot for tenting and small trailer use is located about 2.5 miles (4 km) north of H-58 at the terminus of the Little Beaver Lake Road, on the southwest end of Little Beaver Lake. The White Pine Trail parking lot is located approximately ¼ mile (0.4 km) to the south...

Phase II archaeological site testing was performed from January to March 2010 at prehistoric sites 40CF305, 40CF306, 40FR506, and 40FR237. Sites 40CF305, 40CF306, and 40FR506 were recommended ineligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Site 40FR237 was recommended as eligible for listing on the NRHP.

Photographs are one of the few remaining ways to examine the now inundated archaeological sites in the DAP. Photographic images add context to specific aspects of Anasazi life in the DAP area; in a sense, DAP photography "provides the investigator with ways to understand the spatial integration of households and communities" (Wilshusen et al. 1999:115). Only a fraction of all photographs taken during the project can be found in the published series of DAP reports. Individuals wishing to access...
