Phase I Archaeological Reconnaissance Survey for Cultural Resources of 184 HA (455 Acres) On Industrial Site A, 162 HA (400 Acres) on Industrial Site B, and 0.7 HA (1.7 Acres) at the Location of the Trenton Transition Test Cells W1 and W2, Arnold Engineering Development Center, Arnold Air Force Base, Coffee and Franklin Counties, Tennessee

Summary

This project was completed in fall of 1994 in support of the construction of several facilities. It included the examination of three different areas, 455 acres in Industrial Site A, 400 acres in Industrial Site B, and a small 1.7-acre tract. The investigators included a geomorphologist who judged that 20% of the surface of the project areas was highly disturbed. Investigators conducted a pedestrian survey of the areas and conducted shovel testing at 30 and 15 m intervals in vegetated areas. A total of 3,615 shovel tests were excavated, six of which contained cultural material including three fire-cracked rocks and a collection of recent (twentieth century) trash. One projectile point was recovered on the surface but not recorded as an archaeological site. This work recorded one archaeological site: 40FR201, A Camp Forrest training area.
