Surface Examination of Four Archaeological Sites in Hunting Area 90, Fort Knox, Hardin County, Kentucky.

Abstract

A search was made by the staff archaeologist for four archaeological sites reported in O'Malley, et al. (1980) and DiBlase (1986). The objective was to clearly mark the perimeter of the sites to protect them during logging operations in a portion of the proposed Highway 212 corridor. Three of the sites were found, but discrepancies were noted between what was seen in 1992 and what was reported in 1980. The locations of the three may not have been accurately mapped due to terrain visibility, two may have reversed descriptions, and one contained features that did not fully match their earlier descriptions. The fourth site was not found at the mapped location and has not been relocated at this time.
