Christopher Goodwin & Associates, Inc. conducted archeological investigations at three proposed borrow pit areas near Port Sulphur, in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. This survey was performed for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District, pursuant to Delivery Order 07, Contract No. DACW29-88-D-0121. The survey was comprised of an intensive pedestrian survey augmented by systematically placed, screened shovel tests. Two archeological sites were identified and tested. The Slater Site VH-1 (16PL151) consisted of a scatter of late nineteenth and twentieth century domestic and architectural debris. Shovel and auger tests and two excavation units yielded a variety of artifacts; all were recovered from the plowzone. There was no evidence of in situ features or cultural deposits. The Slater Site VH-2 (16PL152) contained late nineteenth through late twentieth century debris mixed in the plowzone. The debris appeared to be the remains of a shotgun house razed in the 1970s. Both sites lacked archeological integrity and substantive research potential. No further work was recommended for these two sites or within the three borrow pit areas.

Site 16PL153 will require additional testing, if future plans will result in impact to or destruction of the site complex.

Download or read book Culture after the Hurricanes written by M. B. Hackler and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2011-04-29 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebuilding in Louisiana and Mississippi after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita presented some very thorny issues. Certain cultural projects benefited from immediate attention and funding while others, with equal cases for assistance but with less attraction to future tourist dollars, languished. New Orleans and its surroundings contain a diverse mixture of Native Americans, African Americans, Creoles, Cajuns, Isleños with roots in the Canary Islands, and the descendants of Italian, Irish, English, Croatian, and German immigrants, among others. Since 2005 much is now different for the people of the Gulf Coast, and much more stands to change as governments, national and international nonprofit organizations, churches, and community groups determine how and even where life will continue. This collection elucidates how this process occurs and seeks to understand the cultures that may be saved through assistance or may be allowed to fade away through neglect. Essays in Culture after the Hurricanes examine the ways in which a wide variety of stakeholders---community activists, elected officials, artists, and policy administrators---describe, quantify, and understand the unique assets of the region. Contributors question the process of cultural planning by analyzing the language employed in decision making. They attempt to navigate between rhetoric and the actual experience of ordinary citizens, examining the long-term implications for those who call the Gulf Coast home.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Orleans to Venice, Louisiana, Hurricane Protection project is intended to provide protection of the developed areas of Plaquemines Parish along the Mississippi River. The project would enlarge the locally constructed back levee from City Price to Venice, Louisiana, and bring the existing levee from Pheonix to Bohemia up to grade. The proposed construction involves the hydraulic pumping of sand from the Mississippi River and clay from select borrow areas in the adjacent marshes. Surface material obtained from the borrow areas, as well as suspended materials from the dredging operation, will be retained in a ponding area and the effluent released into the marsh. Approximately 3,000 acres of wetland will be permanently impacted, and 11,000 acres temporarily affected. It is proposed that the wetlands permanently lost be mitigated by the creation of marsh on the Delta National Wildlife Refuge.

Book excerpt: In the summer and early fall of 1982, New World Research Inc. conducted a cultural resources investigation of specific areas within the proposed Lake Pontchartrain and Vicinity Hurricane Protection project. The work was carried out for the Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District, and included both terrestrial survey and testing and off-shore inspection of two proposed borrow areas. A total of two isolated finds and three archaeological sites were identified by the survey and subsequently tested. Fifty-six standing structures and park area were recorded by the survey crew and evaluated by a consulting architect historian. The off-shore survey was accomplished by magnetometer and sub-bottom penetrator survey; only the former yielded successful results. Seven clusters of anomalies were singled out for possible further investigation in the borrow areas. None of the sites or structures were found to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During February and March, 1989, a cultural resources survey of the V-levee segment of the West Bank-Hurricane Protection Project, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana was conducted. An Intensive pedestrian survey and shovel testing regime was done within the project corridor, an area of 345 acres. Two archeological sites, two landscape features, and three modern refuse loci are located within the the surveyed area. Brown's Sawmill (16JE217) is the remains of a mid-twentieth century sawmill. It is less than 50 years old, and it is not eligible for inclusion in the National Register; no further testing is recommended. Site 16JE218 consists of an intact shell midden adjacent to Bayou des Familles. Site 16JE218 is a significant site. The first landscape feature is a series of ten agricultural drainage ditches, and a small protection levee, associated with the 1867 - 1875 cultivation of sugarcane within Carter Plantation. The other is a segment of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century Barataria Road. Finally, three loci of modern refuse were identified. Neither the landscape features nor the modern refuse loci are significant cultural resources; no further work is recommended at them.
