  • Camp Coker Creek
    CAMP COKER CREEK INVESTIGATION OF THE PRESENCE AND SPATIAL CONFIGURATION OF A CONFEDERATE ENCAMPMENT WITHIN THE MULTICOMPONENT 40MR708 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE By Andrius Valiunas Honors Thesis Curriculum in Archaeology The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 25th, 2012 Approved by: Adviser: Dr. Brett H. Riggs ABSTRACT ANDRIUS VALIUNAS Camp Coker Creek: Investigation of the Presence and Spatial Configuration of a Confederate Encampment within the Multicomponent 40MR708 Archaeological Site (Under the direction of Dr. Brett H. Riggs) Ongoing historical and archaeological research has revealed the site 40MR708, colloquially Fort Armistead, in Coker Creek, Monroe County Tennessee to be a spatiotemporally vast and complex example of human occupation. Up until 2011, three major occupational periods had been identified; an archaic Native American lithic reduction site, a stock stand (Meroney’s Stand), and an Indian Removal period military base identified as Camp/Fort Armistead (1832-1838). Recent investigations into the northeastern portion of the site revealed the presence of another component that was structurally distinct yet spatially aware of the fort. Excavations and preliminary analysis suggested a military use that postdated Fort Armistead. The subsequent research task was to then identify this most recent occupation of 40MR708, and determine how and to what extent it was spatiotemporally and structurally related to the other components, particularly Fort Armistead. The Unicoi Path/Turnpike proved to be the major structural element connecting all of the components ii spatially and temporally. It transects the area, and was one of the major roads of communication, travel and trade, regardless of time period. The context of the latest component was identified as Camp Coker Creek the transient headquarters and camp for parts of The 69th North Carolina Regiment, Thomas’ Confederate Legion of Cherokee Indians and Mountaineers.

The Plan provides broad program level direction for the next 10 to 15 years. However, it does not provide guidance on when, where, or how to accomplish goals and objectives. The process used to develop this document was intended to bridge between the program level direction of the Plan and ground level actions. It attempts to answer where, when and how to accomplish the goals and objectives. Primary uses of the document include the following: 1. A strategic approach to forest plan implementation. The process provides a road map to implementation of the forest plan. 2. A “Measuring Stick” to evaluate progress in implementing the forest plan. The document provides estimates of accomplishments by certain times. In the years to come, the predictions and actual outputs can be compared, and adjustments can be made to better implement the forest plan.
