Notes

General Note: Site 38CH2050 and 38CH2053 were deemed potentially eligible for protection under the NRHP acts. Site 28CH2048 was deemed eligible for protection due to it's association with Cane Slash Plantation. The rest of the sites were deemed ineligible because they were either too heavily disturbed or only yielded common 20th century artifacts.
