Cultural Resources Survey of the MRGO Dredged Material Bayou La Loutre Disposal Areas, St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana.
Abstract
This report presents the results of cultural resources investigations by Earth Search, Inc. (ESI), for two dredged I material disposal areas, totalling approximately 500 acres, of the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet in St. Bernard Parish. Dredged material is scheduled to be deposited in Sites 18 and 18a in an attempt to nourish and recreate the marsh environment. A portion of Site 18 was surveyed using systematic shovel tests to locate cultural resources. The remainder of Site 18 and all of Site 18a were accessed by airboat, and auger tests were judgmentally placed in the marsh. A visual inspection of all exposed banklines was also conducted. No cultural remains were encountered during survey of Disposal Sites 18 and 18a. No historic or prehistoric archeological sites will be impacted by the planned dredge disposal. No standing structures are present in the survey area. No further work is recommended.
