Cultural Resource Survey of a Proposed Dry Detention Basin in Cape LaCroix Creek Watershed, Cape Girardeau County, Missouri. St. Louis District Cultural Resource Management Report Number 1.

摘要

This report describes the results of a cultural resource survey conducted in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri. The study area consisted of a ca. 120 acre parcel situated near the headwaters of the Cape LaCroix Creek watershed for which development as a dry detention basin was proposed. Field investigations were conducted during January, 1982, and resulted in the identification of four prehistoric sites and one abandoned post-Civil War farmstead. Temporally diagnostic materials indicated the presence of both Late Archaic and Mississippian occupations in the area. The significance of these data are examined in relation to the predictive models for prehistoric site location in the local region developed by Price and Price 1977.
