RAPID:Emergency Shoreline Assessment and Sampling of Archaeological Sites Along the Cumberland River in Middle Tennessee (original) (raw)

Abstract

With NSF support, the co-PIs conducted an emergency survey and assessment of 128 previously recorded prehistoric archaeological sites along 67.5 miles of the Cumberland River in Middle Tennessee. The main goals of this survey were to evaluate damage to archaeological resources as a result of catastrophic flooding in May 2010 and subsequent looting activity, and to recover data from sites in the greatest danger of being destroyed. The project included an examination of all known site locations, recordation of previously unrecorded archaeological deposits, and documentation of both natural and anthropogenic site disturbances.
