Book Description
During October and November 1988, R. Christopher Goodwin & Associates, Inc, conducted a Level II cultural resources survey of the Gretna Phase II, Levee Enlargement Item on the west (right descending) bank of the Mississippi River near Gretna, Louisiana. Six historic archeological sites and three historic standing structures were recorded. Site 16JE207 is a multicomponent site that may include an antebellum brickyard, part of an historic formal garden, and possibly antebellum drainage system elements. Site 16JE208 is a late nineteenth to early twentieth century wharf used by the Louisiana Cypress Company. Site 16JE209 consists of the remains of one to three circa 1890 double shotgun houses that were torn down after 1960. Site 16JE210 may represent the remains of a late nineteenth and early twentieth century brick kiln. Site 16JE211 is a late nineteenth to early twentieth century deposit of ceramic chemical ring fragments and hand and machine-made bricks. Sites 16JE212 is a deeply buried deposit of nineteenth century artifacts on the modern batture within the historic town of McDonoghville. Sites 16JE208, 16JE209, and 16JE211 lack integrity and no further work is recommended at these sites. Because of redesign of levee setback plans after this study was initiated, Site 16JE210 is no longer in danger of being impacted; therefore, no further archeological testing is required there. However, if future construction threatens the site, it should be tested and fully evaluated. Further testing is recommended at Sites 16JE207 and 16JE212 in order to determine their nature and significance.

Book Description
‘KUMBA AFRICA’, is a compilation of African Short Stories written as fiction by Sampson Ejike Odum, nostalgically taking our memory back several thousands of years ago in Africa, reminding us about our past heritage. It digs deep into the traditional life style of the Africans of old, their beliefs, their leadership, their courage, their culture, their wars, their defeat and their victories long before the emergence of the white man on the soil of Africa. As a talented writer of rich resource and superior creativity, armed with in-depth knowledge of different cultures and traditions in Africa, the Author throws light on the rich cultural heritage of the people of Africa when civilization was yet unknown to the people. The book reminds the readers that the Africans of old kept their pride and still enjoyed their own lives. They celebrated victories when wars were won, enjoyed their New yam festivals and villages engaged themselves in seasonal wrestling contest etc; Early morning during harmattan season, they gathered firewood and made fire inside their small huts to hit up their bodies from the chilling cold of the harmattan. That was the Africa of old we will always remember. In Africa today, the story have changed. The people now enjoy civilized cultures made possible by the influence of the white man through his scientific and technological process. Yet there are some uncivilized places in Africa whose people haven’t tested or felt the impact of civilization. These people still maintain their ancient traditions and culture. In everything, we believe that days when people paraded barefooted in Africa to the swarmp to tap palm wine and fetch firewood from there farms are almost fading away. The huts are now gradually been replaced with houses built of blocks and beautiful roofs. Thanks to modern civilization. Donkeys and camels are no longer used for carrying heavy loads for merchants. They are now been replaced by heavy trucks and lorries. African traditional methods of healing are now been substituted by hospitals. In all these, I will always love and remember Africa, the home of my birth and must respect her cultures and traditions as an AFRICAN AUTHOR.
