Cultural Resources Assessment of Selected Sites to be Affected by Flood Protection Activities, Kaskaskia Island Levee Raise Project, Randolph County, Illinois. Phase I and II.
Abstract
This cultural resources survey and assessment is conducted in a study area consisting of ten archaeological site areas, or portions thereof, which lie within the impact area of the proposed Kaskaskia Island levee project, Kaskaskia Island, ILL. Based upon information gained from the initial and present surface reconnaissances, along with shovel testing results, there is no evidence to indicate the presence of significant prehistoric or historic archaeological remains on sites R-329, R-336, R-339, R-352, R-354, R-359, R-361. Phase II recommendations state that sites R-357 and R-360 do not meet National Register criteria. Construction may proceed on the levee at Kaskaskia Island without adversely effecting significant prehistoric and historic cultural resources in all areas. (Author)
