Book excerpt: This report documents the second phase of the cultural resources inventory of the Bonnet Carre' Spillway, St. Charles Parish, Louisiana. Investigations conducted during this project focused on the portion of the spillway north of U.S. Highway 61. Ten separate survey items were examined during these investigations. Three items, representing high probability areas for historic cultural resources, were examined by intensive pedestrian survey and shovel testing. Two survey items, representing high probability areas for prehistoric remains, were examined by deep auger testing. The remaining five items, representing Previously disturbed areas or areas presently suffering disturbance, were examined through boat-based inspection of exposed banklines along these features. No archeological sites or significant historic resources were located during these investigations. The reported locations of three previously recorded sites near the project area, 16 SC 10, 16 SC 11, and 16 SC 12, were visited. Two of these sites, 16 SC 12, could not be relocated. (FR).

Book excerpt: An evaluation was made of the National Register eligibility of the Bayou Goula Landing site (16 IV 131) during October, 1985. Bankline survey and subsurface testing documented the nature and extent of cultural resources along the nearly one-mile length of the project area, and determined the influence of recent erosion on previously delineated resources within the area. Only cultural remains in Artifact Scatter 1 retained contextual integrity. Intensive auger testing and controlled excavations then were conducted in the Artifact Scatter 1 locale. Intact cultural deposits were identified; however, this deposit was extremely limited in extent. It was determined that the research potential of the Artifact Scatter 1 area is exhausted, and that the site is not eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.
