Archaeological Survey at the Proposed Douglass Lake Butler County, Kansas 1987

摘要

The project area is composed of all elevations below 1300 feet on the Little Walnut River and Hickory Creek above the proposed dam site. The purpose of this study is to build a predictive model for use in approximating the probable locations, numbers, and likely mitigation needs of sites to be encountered should the lake be built. To this end, a brief soil geomorphology study, together with a pedestrian archaeological survey of selected area samples have been completed. Data derived from this work, as well as that from prior area surveys, have been utilized to build such a model. Additionally, a brief study of a local historic site was undertaken, and both historic and prehistoric sites reported. (fr)
