National Register Evaluation of Four Archaeological Sites, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama (Final Report)

Author(s): Todd McMakin

Year: 1998

Summary

In October 1997, Brockington and Associates Inc. conducted National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) evaluations of three archaeological sites (1MT93, 1MT200, 1MT279) on Maxwell Air Force Base (AFB) and one archaeological site (1EE458) on the Vigilant Warrior Training Area. Although 1MT93, 1MT200, and 1MT279 are located on the Maxwell AFB east golf course, potentially intact deposits were noted at these sites during previous investigations. Site 1EE458 was originally identified by McMackin et al. (1997). Due to the presence of potentially intact artifact deposits at this site, 1EE458 was recommended potentially eligible for the NRHP. NRHP testing of 1MT93, 1MT279, and 1EE458 recovered evidence of severe disturbance. Deposits at these sites do not appear to possess sufficient integrity to address research questions considered important for the region. Sites 1MT93, 1MT279, and 1EE458 are recommended not eligible for the NRHP. No further management considerations are recommended for these sites. Cultural features identified at 1MT200 indicate that sufficient intact deposits exist to address research questions concerning the prehistoric and protohistoric use of the region. Site 1MT200 is recommended eligible for the NRHP. This site should be protected from further land disturbing activities.
