Field work for this project was undertaken in the spring of 1997. It included the intensive pedestrian survey of approximately 212 acres in 18 tracts. Survey intervals were set at 20 m. Shovel tests, 50 cm in diameter, were placed randomly in areas with a potential to contain archaeological remains. Excavated matrix was screened through 0.25-cm hardware cloth. Steep slopes and low swamps were not shovel tested. Investigators documented site 40FR211, judged to be a mid-nineteenth century...
Phase I Archaeological Survey of Timber Harvest and Thinning Areas Scheduled for the Calendar Years 1998 Through 2000 Arnold Air Force Base/Engineering Development Center, Coffee and Franklin Counties, Tennessee (1998)
Field work for this project was undertaken in early 1997. Investigators examined approximately 460 acres in 31 tracts of timber harvesting areas. A pedestrian examination of each tract was done by walking transects spaced at 20 m intervals. Investigators excavated 50 cm diameter shovel tests at random locations in the various tracts, generally avoiding steep slopes or swampy ground. No archaeological sites were recorded as a result of this work.
