Site form for 3PU0438. Site 3PU0438 is a historic residential site or farmstead. The site area been severely impacted by bulldozing and burning. There is also a modern trash dump on top of the site. Due to the severe disturbance of the site and its relatively common site type, it is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0439. Site 3PU0439 is a historic site, probably occupied during 1930s to 1950s. The remnants of two structures were found at the site. The area has been clear cut in the past, and site integrity is estimated at 10% or less. In view of the limited integrity and the fact that the site does not appear to be particularly old or unique, it is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP. No further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0440. Site 3PU0440 appears to be a historic residence, with evidence of two structures. The site probably dates to the 1930s or 1940s, and may be associated with the 1945 Ordnance Plant. The site has been severely impacted by bulldozing, with only an estimated 8-10% of the site remaining intact. Due to the severe disturbance observed, the site is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0441. Site 3PU0441 is a historic, possibly post-1940s farmstead. The area appears to have been clear cut except for the immediately around the structures. There is evidence of plowed fields to the north and west. Some bulldozer piles were found in the site area. Contextual integrity is estimated at 10% or less. Due to the extensive disturbance observed and the apparently late period of occupation, the site is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further...

Site form for 3PU0442. Site 3PU0442 appears to be a 1930s to 1940s residence or farmstead. The site consists of the remains of a dressed sandstone and mortar foundation (which has been severely bulldozed) and a low to moderate density of subsurface artifacts. In view of the severe disturbance at the site and its mixing with a more modern occupation, it is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0443. Site 3PU0443 is a Historic site of unknown function dating to the 1940s or 1950s. Site integrity is estimated at 10% or less. There are two foundation, a small trash pile, a metal spring from a mattress, and a refuse pile of lumber and plywood.

Site Form for 3PU0444. Site 3PU0444 appears to be a 1940s to 1950s farmstead, probably associated with either the 1945 Ordnance Plant or the town of Taneyville. It consists of six features as well as an intact set of cement steps and a moderately dense subsurface artifact scatter. Unfortunately, the late occupation of the site and the disturbance noted are considered to make it ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0445. Site 3PU0445 appears to be a historic residence or homestead estimated occupation in the 1940s and 1950s. The site appears to have been leveled with heavy machinery and, considering the melted glass and burned sandstone, was also burned. In view of the extensive disturbance noted at the site and the late date of occupation, it is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0446. Site 3PU0446 appears to be a residential site, probably dating to the 1940s or 1950s. The structure has been highly impacted, as it appears to have been leveled by heavy machinery and the rubble removed, leaving the site with an estimated 3-5% contextual integrity. Given the extremely limited contextual integrity and the apparent late date of occupation, the site is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and nor further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0447. Site 3PU0447 is a historic site dating from the 1940s to 1950s. The site area appears to have been clear cut, which may have promoted erosion and thus explaining the lack of soils at the site. The site consists of a rock-lined pathway, a badly collapsed depression, and a surface scatter of artifacts. Overall site integrity is estimated to be 2 to 5 percent. In view of the lack of contextual integrity and the late period of the site, it is considered to be ineligible for...

Site form for 3PU0448. Site 3PU0448 has multiple structures and may be multifunction, probably dating to the 1940s or 1950s. The site area appears to have been clear cut at some time and then kept clear. All structures have been leveled to ground level and mostly removed. These disturbances appear to have left the site at most 10 percent contextual integrity. The site may be part of Toneyville. Given the extensive disturbance noted at the site and presumed late date of occupation, it is...

Site form for 3PU0449. Site 3PU0449 appears to have been occupied late in the historic period and may not be of an age to make it eligible for inclusion on the NRHP. The remnants of two structures were found, along with a moderately dense surface scatter of trash. There is a lot of evidence for bulldozing in the area, leaving the site with only 5-10% contextual integrity. In view of the high degree of disturbance at the site and its apparent late date of occupation, it is considered to be...
