Archeological Investigations at John Redmond Reservoir, East Central Kansas, 1979.
Abstract
In May, June, and July of 1979, an archeological survey investigation was carried out at John Redmond reservoir on the Neosho river in east central Kansas. The work was conducted by the Kansas State Historical Society for the U.S. Army Engineer District, Tulsa. A total of 85 previously unknown sites were identified, and 28 sites designated in earlier surveys were revisited. Evidence recovered indicates that the reservoir has been occupied intermittently, if not continuously, from the middle or late Archaic up to the present era, or from ca. 3,000 B.C. to the present day. Most of the prehistoric sites appear to represent Middle Ceramic occupations presumed to date from ca. A.D. 1000-1500. The report describes the sites investigated, concentrating on primary data relating to the newly discovered sites and the results of the testing activities.
