The Phase I cultural resources survey and archeological inventory during which the skeletal material and the casket hardware were recovered was conducted in anticipation of a proposed U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District concrete slope paving project designed to strengthen the existing artificial flood control Structure aCjoyle ;David R. /George ;Kari /Krause ;Susan B. /Smith nd provide additional protection against flooding in the Cannonburg area. As determined by the current investigation, additional historical research indicates that the identified human remains and casket furnishing likely arc associated with the former location of the Braziel Baptist Church and cemetery complex.
