Archeological Overview and Management Plan for the Savanna Army Depot Activity, Jo Davies and Carroll Counties, Illinois

摘要

As part of a general program in the Savanna Army Depot Activity's historic preservation planning, this report has been prepared documenting both the known and potential archeological resources which exist within the facility boundaries. Five prehistoric sites are known and reported, and 43 potential historic sites have been identified. No systematic survey has been conducted on the facility. In compliance with draft Army regulations AR 420, it is recommended that preliminary archival and field research be initiated for the historic sites which possess physical integrity, and that surveys be conducted on those areas not currently impacted by construction. Cultural resources should be located, recorded, evaluated, and assessment of eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places be made for appropriate and significant sites. Archeological invention data, together with historic architectural information, would then serve to help develop a facility historic preservation plan. (Author)
