Abstract
This report concerns a cultural resources survey of a portion of the east bank of the Mississippi River in southwest Mississippi over a total of 72. 55 acres. Portions of the area are subject to bank erosion and a revetment is planned to alleviate the problem. The survey revealed two historic cemeteries near the project area: Clarksville Cemetery and Riverside Cemetery. Additionally, a site of prehistoric habitation, the Riverside midden (22WK643) was newly reported. Testing showed this midden to date from at least the Coles Creek period of prehistory. Additional archeological work is recommended for the Riverside Midden site.
