Book Description
The project area is divided into three segments: Above Old River, Carr Point, and Hog Point. Historical artifacts and architectural debris were found on the slope of the eroding top bank in the Carr Point segment and the Hog Point segment. These sites were designated the Carr Point House Site (16PC23), and the Hog Point House Site (16PC24). Analysis of the material from both sites indicated the remains of two residential structures whose occupations dated from the late nineteenth into the early twentieth century. Neither site was deemed worthy of consideration for the National Register of Historical Places. In addition to the historic sites found within the project area, two prehistoric sites were located in the general region. The Prairie Lake Mound (16CO28) turned out to be a site investigated by C.B. Moore in 1911, but never subsequently recorded. 16CO29 was a midden site revealed by recent construction activities at the Sidney A. Murray Hydroelectric Plant near the Old River Control Structure. Artifacts from this site point to a Late Marksville and Troyville period occupation.

Book Description
Archeological survey was conducted in two areas within Item M-178.0 to 173.2-R.A total of 104.75 acres were surveyed. A total of 65 auger tests and four shovel tests were excavated. Auger tests to a depth of 2 m spaced at 50 m intervals were excavated along the toe of levee between Levee Station 0+00 and 50+68 within the Lafourche Basin Levee district. In addition, auger tests to a depth of 2 m were excavated at 35 m intervals within a proposed borrow area located within the boundaries of the Atchafalaya Basin Levee District between Levee Stations 6168+00 and 6188+00. No archeological sites were located in either of the two survey areas. No further work is recommended.

Book Description
2The results of a Phase I cultural resources survey and a Phase II National Register testing program within the proposed levee enlargement at Louisiana State Penitentiary, West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana are presented. The survey was conducted from March to June of 1998, and the testing from August to November of 1998. An area of 1,499 acres (607 ha) was examined during the survey. The survey area consisted of 12.1 miles (19.4 km) of existing levee that encircles the penitentiary compound, and 702 acres of borrow areas and haul roads between the Mississippi River and the Tunica Hills. A total area 54.51 acres was reexamined during the testing phase of fieldwork. The Phase I survey examined 31 archaeological sites, one of which was previously recorded, and two standing structures. Phase II National Register testing was latter carried out at three sites, 16WF30, 16WF121, and 16WF122, in to assess their eligibility for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Two sites, 16WF121 and 16WF122, are considered eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Site 16WF121 possesses late nineteenth century postbellum plantation components. Site 16WF122 consists of plantation components dating from the early nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. Both sites contain intact deposits that can provide information on the evolution of Mississippi River plantations. Avoidance or data recovery is recommended at these sites. Additional testing was recommended at site 16WF131, a prehistoric site possessing Coles Creek, early Mississippi, and early historic components, for which eligibility could not be assessed with the present data. NRHP testing was not conducted at that locale as it will not be affected by the proposed construction project. The remaining archaeological sites and two standing structures examined during the recent investigations are considered not eligible for listing on the NRHP.
