Cultural Resources LIterature Search, Record Review and Cultural Resources Survey of the Belle Fountain Ditch Enlargement Project within Pemiscot and Dunklin Counties, Missouri.

摘要

On February 4, 1986, Mid-Continental Research Associates contracted with the Memphis District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to conduct a cultural resource survey along Belle Fountain Ditch located in Pemiscot and Dunklin Counties, Missouri. The investigations described in this report focus on the survey of the project area on the north and south side of Belle Fountain Ditch. The survey methods, (pedestrian survey with shovel tests where visibility was less than 75%), used for each side are described. No cultural resources were located in the project area during the course of the survey, nor were there any previously recorded archeological sites in the project area. Analysis of the soils and previous work in the project area indicate that this is a low probability area for archeological clearance/no further archeological work is made.
