Agusta Bluff, A Late Site on the Leaf River, Perry County, Mississippi.
Abstract
Historic and prehistoric occupations were revealed during the previous survey and testing which were performed in the area (Wright 1981). Based upon these findings, Site 22Pe543 was determined eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The excavation which followed was designed such that archaeological and behavioral benchmarks of the Pine Hills region could be discovered. The historic component consisted of materials associated with the town of Old Augusta, dating primarily from the first half of the nineteenth century. The prehistoric component consisted of Late Archaic materials, dating from approximately 3,600 B.P. Exploratory excavations at 22Pe543 have given an initial look at Late Archaic adaptive patterns of the Pine Hills region.
