Phase I Historic Resources Survey Of United States Army Corps of Engineers Fee-Owned Property Coffeeville Lake, Tombigbee River, Alabama

摘要

Increased use of the Tombigbee Waterway and its associated public use areas at Coffeeville Lake has compelled the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) , Mobile District to evaluate the impact to historic resources (primarily archaeological sites) in the area. For this study, selected public use areas and other fee lands were targeted for intensive (Phase I) historic resources survey. Including the Choctaw National Wildlife Refuge (CNWR), the USACE owned property at Coffeeville Lake includes approximately 2,664 hectares (6,581 acres). Of this total, approximately 1,897 hectares (4,685 acres) have been previously surveyed. Archaeological sites identified during this investigation were evaluated for significance based on criteria used to determine National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility.
