摘要

The following report concerns a reconnaissance level survey of four designated survey areas and reconnaissance and or test excavations at four previously recorded prehistoric sites at a flood control dam permit site on Mill Creek in Rutherford County, NC. The survey was conducted in the summer of 1985 by MAAR Associates, Inc. of Newark, Del., on behalf of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District. Test excavations were conducted at three of the previously recorded prehistoric sites and on one of four new sites located in the course of the present survey. A total of eight sites are located in and adjacent to the project area. Of these, two sites (31RF45 & 144), are located outside of the project area, three sites (31RF46, 47 & 141) are severely disturbed, and three sites (36RF33, 142 & 143) require additional testing.
