An Archeological Overview and Management Plan for the Holston Army Ammunition Plant, Hawkins and Sullivan Counties, Tennessee
Abstract
The Holston Army Ammunition Plant in Hawkins and Sullivan counties, northeastern Tennessee, is an installation of the U. S. Department of the Army's DARCOM command. As a steward of approximately 6500 acres of public land, the plant has responsibility for the management of any cultural resources located within it. No professional archeological inventory of the facility has been conducted. During the 1970s members of the Tennessee Archeological Society excavated 1-1.5 acres of a large prehistoric Woodland occupation site that had human burials within it; this site has never been analyzed and reported, and may still have some integrity. Other prehistoric sites are reported by local informants to exist in undisturbed portions of the Plant, and historic records indicate that some historic archeological resources may also exist there. Thus, this report recommends that a professional archeological inventory of a representative portion of the relatively undisturbed areas of the facility be conducted. In addition, the collected materials from site 40 HW 15 should be analyzed and reported, the site's present integrity evaluated, and any human remains from the site treated in accordance with federal guidelines.
