Archaeological Survey of 73 Artillery Firing Points: Fort Bragg Training Area, Cumberland and Hoke Counties, North Carolina

摘要

This report is third in a series of archaeological survey/site testing reports generated by the Fort Bragg Cultural Resources Management Program (CRMP) . The series is intended to periodically present the results of archaeological investigations on Fort Bragg and Camp Mackall conducted by the staff of the CRMP. This report details the results of archaeological surveys conducted on Artillery Firing Points (AFPs) for the Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) Program's Land Rehabilitation and Maintenance (LRAM) component between February 1998 and May 1999. It is the first installment in a planned series of LRAM AFP survey/site assessment studies. To date, 73 AFPs (754-acres) have been surveyed and cleared for unrestricted training and LRAM activities. The findings at 32 prehistoric/ historic period sites/occurrences are presented here. Additionally, four sites/occurrences recorded in a 1998 survey for Operation Purple Dragon (OPD), are included as well. These resources were all designated as ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP.
