Abstract
This report presents the results of a cultural resources survey of three proposed offsite borrow areas near the East Atchafalaya Basin Protection Levee (EABPL). EABPL Item E-64 is located on the west bank of the Lower Grand River just below the Bayou Sorrel Lock in lberville Parish. EABPL Item E-76 is located on the west bank of Little Goddel Bayou near the southeastern comer of Iberia Parish. Item E-84a is located just west of LA Highway 70 below the town of Pierre Part in Assumption Parish. Intensive pedestrian survey utilizing lane spacing of 20 m and shovel tests at 50 m intervals was conducted on all three parcels. Survey transects were oriented parallel to the former distributary channels in order to maximize the potential for site discovery. One historic site 16IV23, was located during survey in Item E-64. This site is neither eligible nor potentially eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places
