Four Disposal Areas, Three Water-Control Structures and a Portion of the Tallahatchie River
Summary
The first step in the rehousing process is to obtain copies of cultural resource reports, artifact catalog sheets, and field notes pertaining to the collections from the St. Louis District archivist processing the archival collection. The analytical techniques employed by each organization to recover and process the collections were reviewed to gain familiarity with the archaeological work that had been conducted on the sites. The investigation, titled Tallahatchie River Survey, came to St. Louis District with very little archival material. There was a handwritten artifact catalog and some field notes from the work performed in December 1990 and April 1993. After processing of the artifact collection was already completed, a copy of the final report was mailed to the St. Louis District by Coastal Environments, Inc (CEI).
In December 1990, CEI performed a pedestrian survey near and adjacent to the Tallahatchie River in preparation for dredging, the laying of pipes, and other construction activities for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Vicksburg District. Five new sites were recorded: the Cobb site (22TL1073), the Strider Store site (22TL1074), the Buzzard Bayou site (22TL1075), the Strider Field #1 site (22TL1076), and the Strider Field #2 site (22TL1077). Artifacts consist of prehistoric, as well as historic, materials. A water-borne, remote sensing survey was also performed on the Tallahatchie River, looking for possible shipwrecks within the proposed dredging area; none were located. Charles E. Pearson served as principal investigator and Richard Weinstein acted as field director. For more information, see the final report (Weinstein 1991).
Between 1990 and 1993 there were changes to the right of way for the pipes along the Tallahatchie River. CEI was called in February 1993 to investigate the areas where artifacts had been located during construction. Artifacts were recorded by CEI in one new area, very near the previously recorded site 22TL1073. They called this area Locality C of 22TL1073. They collected one bag of artifacts (CEI catalog number 6322), containing both historic and prehistoric material. This information was recorded in the field notebook and is also supported by the artifact collection.

DOCUMENT Full-Text
The MCX-CMAC utilizes the standard archival practice of unique naming of collections. The purpose of this is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as "Four Disposal Areas, Three Water-Control Structures and a Portion of the Tallahatchie River.” This naming practice is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folder titles, and box labels. The linear extent of this collection is one (1)...
