Although there has been some recent modification to the edges of the mounds, they are in generally excellent condition and well preserved. In 1982 archaeologists and soil scientists extracted soil cores from the top of the mounds to the subsoil below the mounds. Radiometric dating of bulk humate samples taken from the base of Mound A indicate that it was constructed during the Meso-lndian or Archaic period about 5000 years ago. Based on its

(SURA, Inc.) conducted a Phase I cultural resource survey of 1,170 acres (ac) (473.5 hectares [ha]) west of Beauregard Regional Airport located in DeRidder, Beauregard Parish, Louisiana. A total of 6,335 shovel tests were excavated. Four archaeological sites were discovered—BPASA-1 (16BE104), BPASA-2 (16BE105), BPASA-3 (16BE106), and BPASA-4 (16BE107). The authors suggest that because of the disturbance due to modern hunting activities and pine cultivation, these sites do not possess the qualities of significance and are not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion D. Four isolated finds were also noted. None of these finds contain sufficient artifacts, or secure enough proveniences to be considered for the NRHP. As a result, no further work is recommended for the surveyed area. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The field crew was led by Mr. Matthew Chouest, M.A., and consisted of Ms. Rivers Berryhill, Mr. Jason Foust, Ms.

  • Gagliano, Louisiana
    SOUTHEASTERN ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONFERENCE BUSINESS MEETING 2020 MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS Sherwood (“Woody”) Gagliano (by Rich Weinstein, Coastal Environments) Sherwood M. “Woody” Gagliano, Ph.D. December 10, 1935 — July 17, 2020 Woody Gagliano passed away on July 17 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He was a long-time member of the Southeastern Archaeological Conference, a co-founder of the Louisiana Archaeological Society, and President/CEO and co-founder of Coastal Environments, Inc., (CEI) in Baton Rouge. Woody received his B.S. (1959), M.S. (1963) and Ph.D. (1967) from Louisiana State University where he studied geology, geography, and anthropology, culminating in a dissertation on the archaeological and paleontological remains on Avery Island, a salt dome on the coast of Louisiana, particularly on material retrieved from a new mine shaft that was being excavated to reach the island’s salt deposits. From a very young age, Woody had a deep interest in the geology and archaeology of Louisiana. He was born and raised in New Orleans, and became a childhood friend of the late Roger T. Saucier, who went on to become a noted geologist and archaeologist in his own right. As boys, Woody and Roger convinced their parents to take them to the numerous shell middens and mounds in southeastern Louisiana, especially around Lake Pontchartrain. One story, which probably has a grain of truth in it, tells how Woody and Roger decided one day to travel across Lake Pontchartrain to visit some of the Indian sites on the lake’s north shore. Instead of asking their parents to drive them to the other side of the lake, however, they decided to take a canoe (another version of the story says it was a small flat-bottom rowboat).
