Cultural Resources Survey of the Western Sections of the Larose to Golden Meadow Hurricane Protection Project, Lafourche Parish, Louisiana.

Abstract

The investigations consisted of an intensive pedestrian and boat survey of section A West, Sections B North and South, and Section C North and South. The prehistoric sequence in the region includes Troyville-Coles Creek, Plaquemine, and Mississippian Periods. The historic period extends from the earliest European settlement, and is discussed through 1912. Emphasis is placed on the identification of significant geomorphic features as they pertain to site location. Although the surface survey and subsurface testing regime failed to identify and sites within the corridor, one site (16LF99) was visited and tested to determine its size and cultural affiliation.
