Phase I Archaeological Survey Along State Route 127 on Arnold Air Force Base

Author(s): Shawn Chapman

Year: 2013

Summary

Summary of archaeological investigations in support of proposed road improvements for a section of for a section of State Route 127, including a small portion that extends onto Arnold Air Force Base (Arnold AFB). Investigations included a review of the existing site records, pedestrian survey, visual inspection and shovel testing. The records search indicated 11 sites located within one mile of the project area with two sites recorded in the immediate project location. All but one of these sites have been determined as not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). This one eligible site, 40FR461, Bell’s Route of the Trail of Tears, follows SR 127 and is in the project APE. The proposed Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) action will not impact the portion of site 40FR461 on Arnold Air Force Base property more than it has already been impacted by previous construction activities. Visual inspection and shovel testing produced no evidence for cultural resources in the proposed project area. The area is recommended cleared from a cultural resources perspective.
