Omussee Creek Arbitrary (1HO27) 1982 and 1984

Summary

No report was present for the Investigations. The sites identified during this investigation were not given site numbers on the original bags, but an inventory was included that listed many of the artifacts as having come from site 1HO27. Site 1HO27 is a small Late Woodland/Early Mississippian Period site on the “…north bank of an unnamed creek that joins Bear Creek just north of the Houston-Geneva County line” (Brooms 1975). It includes a prehistoric mound known as Seaborn Mound, Crawford Mound, or the Mound below Columbia, Alabama. It was first recorded by Clarence B. Moore in 1907, and the site was first surveyed by Wesley Hurt in 1940 (Chase 1977). Since then, it has been surveyed a number of times in order to help preserve it from nearby construction and development (Brooms 1975, Chase 1977). The 1982 and 1984 investigations were probably conducted for a similar purpose, but no direct information on those investigations could be found. Although not all artifacts in this collection are known to come from site 1HO27, because they were found in the same box together, they were all processed together at the VCP. If other information, artifacts, or reports are identified in the future, the artifacts in this arbitrary investigation should be placed with the proper investigation. There is a possibility that the artifacts from Omussee Creek Arbitrary (1HO27) 1982 and 1984 Investigations are NAGPRA-related, and were therefore treated as such.

The digital materials in this collection were processed by the Veterans Curation Program (VCP), and include the artifact database, artifact report, finding aid, and scanned asset key. Additional digital materials held by the VCP include box inventory, document folder listing, initial data collection sheet, personal notes, and preliminary inventory worksheet. For additional information on these materials, refer to the Finding Aid.

    DOCUMENT Full-Text Adam Pennington. Sheldon Owens.

    The Veterans Curation Program utilizes the standard archival practice of unique naming of collections. The purpose of this practice is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as “Omussee Creek Arbitrary 1HO27 1982 and 1984 Investigations.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is two-tenths (0.2) of a linear...
