Remote-Sensing Survey of the Atchafalaya Basin Main Channel, Atchafalaya Channel Training Project, Sts. Martin and Mary Parishes, Louisiana

Abstract

A remote sensing survey was conducted at several study areas along the lower Atchafalaya Basin Main Channel and in Bayou Shaffer. Diving and test excavations were conducted on a small number of selected targets. No significant cultural remains were found along the Atchafalaya Basin Main Channel, but a number of partial and complete watercraft were found in Bayou Shaffer. Some of these watercraft represent potentially significant cultural resources. Recommendations for the treatment of vessel remains found in Bayou Shaffer are provided.
