Before Smith's Mill: Archaeological and Geological Investigations, Smithville Lake, Missouri. Volume 2,
Abstract
The purpose of this report is to briefly summarize the status of the archeological mitigation program at Smithville Lake as a basic step in developing plans for conducting future mitigation efforts. In part, this summary describes the results of our 1978 field investigations and identifies those sites we believe require additional testing or excavation. Another part of this report represents our evaluation of previously recorded and some newly discovered sites for testing and/or excavation. G.A.I. Consultants' recommendations will conclude this interim report. G.A.I. Consultants' field investigations comprised two components, (1) the excavation or testing of a selected series of archaeological sites specified in the Corps of Engineers contract, and (2) the locating of buried archaeological sites through a program of subsurface testing based on the data on site location and geomorphic events required in our archeological and geological research.
