Book Description
In September of 1980, Iroquois Research Institute conducted an archaeological survey of six revetment and levee items on the Mississippi River in Ascension, Jefferson, St. James, St. John the Baptist, and St. Charles Parishes, Louisiana. Five historic sites were discovered including the wooden hull of a ship, a wooden retaining wall, a modern concrete foundation, a trash dump, and an eroding brick scatter. Modern debris scatters were evident along the bank and batture throughout the project area. None of these sites is recommended to the National Register of Historic Places, and no further testing is recommended at the sites. (Author).

Book Description
This report presents the results of field, archival, and laboratory investigations of four levee and revetment construction rights-of-way located roughly between river miles 93.8 and 81.8 along the right descending bank of the Mississippi River in Orleans Parish, Louisiana. Nine sites were located during archeological survey. Eight of these are ineligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, and no further work is recommended. However, early eighteenth century European and aboriginal ceramics were recovered from a narrow beach at 160R125. This site is located on what was formerly Bienville's west bank concession. Further archeological investigations are recommended at 160R125 to determine if in situ deposits dating to the early eighteenth century exist. A research design for such investigation is presented.

Book Description
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).
