Cultural Resources Survey of Island No. 8 Relief Wells and Collector Ditches, Fulton County, Kentucky
Author: Andrew Saatkamp

Category : Archaeological surveying
Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
At the request of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Memphis District, Panamerican consultants, Inc. of Memphis, Tennessee, performed a cultural resources survey near Island no. 8 of approximately 133 acres of proposed relief wells and collector ditches in Fulton County, Kentucky. the project area consisted of two different widths: 100 feet (30 m.) landward from the levee toe for the relief wells, and 50 feet (115 m) on either side of the collector ditches. Six previously recorded sites (15FU34, 15FU35, 15FU55, 15FU64, 15FU137, and 15FU138) are mapped within the study area and their locations were revisited. Eleven previously unrecorded sites were identified, all of which are mid-twentieth-century historic scatters. Six previously recorded structures were mapped within the study area: five of them have been razed or otherwise destroyed, the sixth is a floodgate structure currently being utilized. Two of the identified sites, 15FU55 and 15FU64 were recommended for further work when they were initially recorded due to the possibility of buried features. They are outside the current project area and will not be affected. However, they are close to the Right Of Way and caution must be exercised to avoid these two sites. If this is not possible, then further work is required to determine their National Register of Historic Places eligibility status will be necessary. The remaining sites and structures all date from the early to middle part of the twentieth century and are recommended as not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. No further archaeological work is recommended for those locations.

Kentucky Archaeology
Author: R. Barry Lewis
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813159431
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Kentucky's rich archaeological heritage spans thousands of years, and the Commonwealth remains fertile ground for study of the people who inhabited the midcontinent before, during, and after European settlement. This long-awaited volume brings together the most recent research on Kentucky's prehistory and early history, presenting both an accurate descriptive and an authoritative interpretation of Kentucky's past. The book is arranged chronologically—from the Ice Age to modern times, when issues of preservation and conservation have overtaken questions of identification and classification. For each time slice of Kentucky's past, the contributors describe typical communities and settlement patterns, major changes from previous cultural periods, the nature of the economy and subsistence, artifacts, the general health and characteristics of the people, and regional cultural differences. Sites discussed include the Green River shell mounds, the Central Kentucky Adena mounds and enclosures, Eastern Kentucky rockshelters, the important Wickliffe site at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, Fort Ancient culture villages, and the fortified towns of the Mississippian period in Western Kentucky. The authors draw from a wealth of unpublished material and offer the detailed insights and perspectives of specialists who have focused much of their professional careers on the scientific investigation of Kentucky's prehistory. The book's many graphic elements—maps, artifact drawings, photographs, and village plans—combined with a straightforward and readable text, provide a format that will appeal to the general reader as well as to students and specialists in other fields who wish to learn more about Kentucky's archaeology.

The Birds of Kentucky
Author: Burt L. Monroe Jr.
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 081315166X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
The first book of its kind to be published for the Bluegrass State, The Birds of Kentucky is designed to provide an accurate and scientifically rigorous description of all the species of birds found in Kentucky. This comprehensive guide features a wealth of information, including abundance records, migration dates, and additional reference material, and indicates whether a bird is a permanent resident, winter resident, summer resident, visitant, or transient. Additionally, author Burt L. Monroe reviews the history of ornithologists who have worked in Kentucky and outlines the physiography of the state as it relates to birding. More than just a verbal portrait of Kentucky avifauna, The Birds of Kentucky includes fifty-one color paintings by the renowned wildlife artist William Zimmerman, whose work has been favorably compared to that of John James Audubon. In contrast to Audubon's romanticism and often tortuous style, however, Zimmerman offers us "comfortable" birds that look as if they are about to take wing and leave the page. Beautifully illustrated and based on a lifetime of field observation and research, this book provides an excellent guide to the natural history of the birds of the Bluegrass.
