The reconnaissance resulted in the identification of 53 previously unrecorded archaeological sites and the relocation of 3 documented sites ranging from the Middle Archaic (ca. 4000 BC) to the mid-19th-early 20th centuries. Several sites were considered to be significant, and recommendations for additional work are contained within the report.
