Test Excavations at 3LA128. An Early Caddo Occupation on the Red River.
Abstract
The Arkansas Archeological Survey tested site 3LA128 under Purchase Order DACW29-81-M-0165 on the Field Revetment for the New Orleans District Office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to gather data for determination of the site's eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. The testing identified two twentieth century occupations, a Caddo I-II component (the primary occupation), and a small Caddo IV-V component. In the opinion of the Survey, the site is eligible for the register, but no further archeological research is needed in connection with the Field Revetment project as construction was completed prior to the site testing. The remaining site area is no longer threatened by construction-related activities, and the revetment will safeguard it from Red River meander erosion. Site 3LA128 will be available for future archeological research on the early Caddoan occupation of the Great Bend region in Arkansas so long as the revetment exists. (Author)
