Sardis Lake Investigations

Summary

The first step in the typical 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. This Sardis Lake investigation had no report or other associated documentation at the St. Louis District, other than the University of Mississippi Box Contents Sheets that came with the artifacts.

Using the information retrieved from the artifact bags and box content sheets, this investigation was assigned the arbitrary name of Sardis Lake. This is the only project description available to the St. Louis District. Fieldwork was carried out September 1983 and February 1994; excavation dates were recorded on some of the bags.
