This book was released on 1982 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May and June of 1981, Iroquois Research Institute performed a cultural resources survey of fourteen Mississippi River levee and revetment items in Iberville, St. James, St. Charles, Orleans, St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes, Louisiana. The project included a prehistoric and historic background study and literature search, a geomorphological analysis of the survey items, and a systematic archeological survey. Fourteen historic sites were inventoried during the systematic survey. They included a catwalk, a furnace, a wooden platform, two sites containing brick house supports, a residential complex, a canal lock, two possible pump house sites, a navigational light base, a riverside railroad terminal, and a subsurface site. No prehistoric sites were discovered. Recommendations were made for two sites, one containing 18th-19th century ceramics, and the other a canal lock. The ceramic site was evaluated as potentially eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Further testing was recommended to determine its potential eligibility. At the canal lock, the Institute recommended the placement of an historic marker. (Author).

This book was released on 1982 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September of 1980, Iroquois Research Institute conducted an archeological survey of three levee and revetment items on the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. Two historic sites were discovered. One consisted of an inlet and possible fragmentary wharf located in the Bohemia Revetment. At the Harlem Levee Setback, brick scatters, in situ brick remains, and a large standing house were identified within the project right-of-way. The remains at the Harlem Setback are probably associated with the Old Harlem Plantation and are potentially significant to local and regional history and to historic archeology. (Author).

This book was released on 1993 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between March and July 1988, R. Christopher Goodwin & Associates, Inc. conducted a cultural resources investigation of three levee and revetment construction rights-of-way located between River Miles 204.0 and 191.0 along the left descending bank of the Mississippi River in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. This project was sponsored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District. Within the 13 mi project area, approximately 4.6 mi of batture were surveyed. Four previously unrecorded historic sites (16IV152, 16IV153, 16IV154, and 16IV155) and one previously recorded site (16IV142) were tested. This report describes the historic development of the project area from the initial settlement through the twentieth century, and it presents the methods and results of archeological survey and site testing. Based upon the field investigations and laboratory analyses, no additional testing is recommended for all of the tested sites. None of these sites is eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.

Book Cultural Resources Survey of Three Mississippi River Levee Setbacks and Borrows

Download or read book Cultural Resources Survey of Three Mississippi River Levee Setbacks and Borrows written by Adam G. Garson and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June of 1981, Iroquois Research Institute performed a cultural resources survey of three Mississippi River Levee Setback and Borrow items in Plaquemines Parishes and St. Bernard Parishes, Louisiana. The project included a prehistoric and historic background study and literature search, a geomorphological analysis of the survey items, and a systematic archeological survey. Intensive historic research aimed at determining the location of Fort St. Mary at English Turn in Plaquemines Parish was also performed. A total of 19 historic sites were inventoried during the survey. They included 18 residential, commercial, and religious buildings and the possible archeological remains of one plantation house. Recommendations for further study were made for the Palazzo Grocery Store at Linwood and for St. Luke's Baptist Church at Scarsdale-Stella. A feasibility study was recommended for making part of Arabi, including the area to be adversely affected by the levee setback, an historic district. The effect of an historic district would be to preserve historic archeological remains and the integrity of the many 19th and early 20th century structures existing in the area. The results of the historic study of Fort St. Mary indicated that there would be only a slight possibility that borrowing by the Corps of Engineers would adversely affect the remains of the fort. Its present location appears to be on the landward side of the levee below Shingle Point. (Author).
