Phase I Archaeological Survey and Limited Phase II Archaeological Testing of Select Timber Harvest Areas at Arnold Air Force Base (AEDC), Coffee and Franklin Counties, Tennessee

Summary

This project was conducted in the late summer/early fall of 1996. The areas examined were dispersed over 25 separate tracts, totaling 468 acres. Survey methodology included pedestrian survey and randomly placed shovel tests (50 cm in diameter). This effort provided photo documentation for some elements of the Camp Forrest archaeological record and also recorded one archaeological site, 40FR209, a historic site estimated to have been occupied during the late nineteenth-early twentieth centuries. Limited Phase II excavations were undertaken at 40FR209 to determine site integrity and limits. This included the excavation of 16 shovel test pits (50 x 50 cm) and three 1 x 1 m test units. Researchers judged that the site was not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). This report was reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in January 1997, which concluded that the project area contained no archaeological resources eligible for listing on the NRHP.
