Archaeological Survey and Cold War Assessment of Maxwell Air Force Base and Gunter Annex Montgomery, Alabama

Summary

Brockington and Associates, Inc. conducted a historic resources survey of Maxwell Air Force Base [AFB], Gunter Annex, Maxwell Heights Housing Area, the Lake Martin Recreation Area and the Lake Jordan/Vigilant Warrior Training Area. During the course of this survey, previously identified sites were revisited, high probability areas were surveyed, and Cold War Era structures were assessed. No structures are recommended eligible for the National Register of Historic Places [NRHP] beyond those already identified at Maxwell AFB. The locations of five previously recorded sites (1 Mt93,1 Mt200,1 Mt255,1 Mt279, and 1 Mt283) were revisited during the survey. Sites 1 Mt93,1 Mt200, and 1 Mt279 continue to be recommended potentially eligible for the NRHP. Three previously unrecorded sites (1Tp38,1Ee457, and 1Ee458) were identified during the present investigations. Two of these sites (1Tp38 and 1Ee457) are disturbed lithic scatters, and are recommended not eligible for the NRHP. The remaining site, 1Ee458, is an apparently undisturbed ceramic and lithic scatter located in the Lake Jordan/Vigilant Warrior Training Area Due to the possibility of undisturbed deposits that may generate information important to understanding the prehistoric use of the region, this site is recommended potentially eligible for the NRHP. Site 1Ee458 should be protected from land disturbing activities until formal NRHP testing can be conducted. All areas within Maxwell AFB, Gunter Annex, Maxwell Heights Housing Area, and the leased tracts have been examined.
