Report on the Intensive Cultural Resources Inventory of the Proposed Flood Control Project at Argusville, North Dakota

摘要

An intensive cultural resources inventory was performed on a proposed flood control project at Argusville, North Dakota (Section 6, T141N, R49W). The investigations were conducted on November 15, 1983, in order to determine whether significant cultural resources were present within the project area. Approximately 9500 feet of levees and four ponding areas will be constructed to prevent future flooding of the Argusville community. The on-the-ground survey was accomplished by two investigators walking parallel transects across all areas of proposed construction. A small concentration of burned bone was located in a plowed field at the site of a proposed ponding area. The origin of the bone is uncertain, but does not appear to represent a National Register eligible property. No other cultural resources were encountered and no further archaeological work is recommended. (Author)
