Manzano RESEARCH REPORT NO. 9 Kentucky Archaeological Survey ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS AT THE TWIN KNOBS LOCALITY, CRITTENDEN COUNTY, KENTUCKY By Greg J. Maggard, A. Gwynn Henderson, David Pollack and Eric J. Schlarb With contributions by Jack Rossen Bruce L. Manzano Larry Gray Kentucky Archaeological Survey Research Report No. 9 Jointly Administered by: The University of Kentucky Department of Anthropology and The Kentucky Heritage Council Lexington, Kentucky Report Prepared for: Mr. James Hixon Division of Environmental Analysis, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet 200 Mero Street, Frankfort, KY 40622 2013 Kentucky Archaeological Survey The Kentucky Archaeological Survey is jointly administered by the Kentucky Heritage Council (State Historic Preservation Office) and the University of Kentucky Department of Anthropology. Its mission is to provide a service to other state agencies, to work with private landowners to protect archaeological sites, and to educate the public about Kentucky=s rich archaeological heritage. Kentucky Heritage Council The mandate of the Kentucky Heritage Council is to identify, preserve, and protect the cultural resources of Kentucky. The Council also maintains continually- updated inventories of historic structures and archaeological sites and nominates properties to the National Register of Historic Places. By working with other state and federal agencies, local communities, and interested citizens, the Council seeks to build a greater awareness of Kentucky=s past and to encourage the long-term preservation of Kentucky=s significant cultural resources. Through its various programs (e.g., Main Street, Grants, Publications, Rural Preservation, Civil War Initiative, Conferences), the Council strives to show how historic resources contribute to the heritage, economy, and quality of life of all Kentuckians. University of Kentucky Department of Anthropology The University of Kentucky Department of Anthropology has a mission to educate students and promote scholarly research in the field of archaeology. The Department also is charged by state law with enforcing and administering the State Antiquities Act, which prohibits the destruction of archaeological sites on state and municipal lands. It maintains comprehensive inventory files and records on archaeological sites in the Commonwealth through the Office of State Archaeology, and supports the major state curation repository for archaeological collections (the William S. Webb Museum of Anthropology). ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors would like to thank the many individuals who participated in the fieldwork for this project, including Wes Stoner, Dwight Cropper, Rick Burdin, Edward Henry, David McBride, Carrell Rush, Emily Swintosky, Brian Mabeltini, Gabriel Paschal, Melissa Ramsey, Nicole Mills, Paul Ramey, and Dona Daugherty. Ronnie Hazlett and Matthew Davidson assisted with the laboratory analysis. Dr. Tom Dillehay, Vanderbilt University, graciously conducted the microscopic use-wear analysis of lithic tools. Hayward Wilkerson prepared most of the figures and photographs used in the report. Ed Winkle and Barbara Gortman handled the administrative details. Finally, James Hixon was a pleasure to work with throughout the project and showed great patience as we worked on preparing this report. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements

  • Pierce Mounds Complex an Ancient Capital in Northwest Florida
    Pierce Mounds Complex An Ancient Capital in Northwest Florida Nancy Marie White Department of Anthropology University of South Florida, Tampa [email protected] Final Report to George J. Mahr, Apalachicola, Florida December 2013 ii ABSTRACT The Pierce site (8Fr14), near the mouth of the Apalachicola River in Franklin County, northwest Florida, was a major prehistoric mound center during the late Early and Middle Woodland (about A.D. 200-700) and Mississippian (about A.D. 1000-1500) periods. People lived there probably continuously during at least the last 2000 years (until right before the European invasion of Florida in the sixteenth century) and took advantage of the strategic location commanding the river and bay, as well as the abundant terrestrial and aquatic resources. Besides constructing several mounds for burial of the dead and probably support of important structures, native peoples left long midden (refuse) ridges of shells, animal bones, artifacts and blackened sandy soils, which built up a large and very significant archaeological site. Early Europeans and Americans who settled in the town of Apalachicola recognized the archaeological importance of Pierce and collected artifacts. But since the site and its spectacular findings were published by C.B. Moore in 1902, much information has been lost or misunderstood. Recent investigations by the University of South Florida were commissioned by the property owner to research and evaluate the significance of the site. There is evidence for an Early Woodland (Deptford) occupation and mound building, possibly as early as A.D. 200. Seven of the mounds form an oval, with the Middle Woodland burial mounds on the west side.

    PHASE I CULTURAL RESOURCES INVESTIGATION FOR THE MERRIAM JUNCTION SANDS PROJECT, LOUISVILLE TOWNSHIP, SCOTT COUNTY, MINNESOTA FINAL REPORT Submitted to: Merriam Junction Sands, LLC 13040 Den Con Drive Shakopee, MN 55379 Submitted by: Summit Envirosolutions, Inc. 1217 Bandana Boulevard North St. Paul, Minnesota 55108 Report Authors: Garrett L. Knudsen, M.A., Laurie S. H. Ollila, M.A., and Andrew J. Schmidt, M.A. March 2015 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY Merriam Junction Sands, LLC (MJS) is proposing to develop several parcels of land located in Louisville Township, Scott County, Minnesota, for non-metallic mineral mining and processing operations to accommodate the production of industrial sands in addition to the continued production of construction aggregates. Some of the parcels have been mined in the past or are currently being mined for sand and gravel limestone resources. As currently defined, the Merriam Junction Sands (MJS) project is not considered to be a federal undertaking as defined by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, and its implementing regulations (36CRF 800). If future information indicates the action is a federal undertaking this report may serve as a basis for additional study. The MJS project is subject to regulations associated with several permits from various government units, as shown in Table 1. Summit Envirosolutions, Inc. (Summit) was previously retained in June 2011 by Sunde Engineering, PPLC (Sunde) on behalf of the previous project owner, to complete a Phase I cultural resources investigation of the project area. In 2015, Sunde contracted with Summit on behalf of MJS to update the earlier Phase I study to reflect the current project.
