Report describes results of Phase 1 archaeological & geomorphological survey of 121 ac. within the Batchtown Habitat Rehabilitation Enhancement Project (HREP), Pool 25, Mississippi River (mile 242 to mile 248, left bank), Calhoun County, Illinois. The project involves construction/enlargement of levees and 7 water control structures. Pedestrian survey and shovel testing located 3 prehistoric sites (11-C-2O6, 11-C-2O8, 11-C-209), 3 historic sites (11-C-2O5, 11- C-207, 11-C-211), and 1 prehistoric & historic site (11-C-21O). Potentially eligible sites 11-C-2O7, 11-C-2O8, 11-C-2O9 & 11-C-21O will be avoided by the project. Geomorphological investigations revealed land forms with potential for buried sites in the project's central portion; other areas have very little potential for containing cultural deposits. Project clearance in surveyed areas in regard to cultural resources is recommended. Survey was conducted in June, 1994 by American Resources Group, Ltd., for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District on lands managed for waterfowl by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The project is planned under the HREP, Environmental Management Program (EMP) established to enhance & rehabilitate the Upper Mississippi River system. (AN).

Two longtime fieldworkers offer mentors' advice on finding and mapping archaeological sites. They outline the logic behind field surveying and the various designs used for survey projects. Recognizing that logistical issues—like schedule, budget, and equipment—are equally important to complete the job, particularly in a cultural resource management context, the authors also guide new professionals through the practical details of their work. The volume also ranges through the legal and ethical context of fieldwork and the various geophysical methods available for non-intrusive surveying. As a handy guide for novices, or a text for students and field schools, Collins and Molyneaux's book will be the place to start.

This report presents the findings of Phase II investigations conducted at sites 11-T-205, 11-T-240, and 11-T-243 within Farmdale Reservoir, Tazewell County, Illinois. The Rock Island District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is engaged in an ongoing management and evaluation program of archaeological sites on Federal lands within Farmdale Reservoir. Although the sites are not threatened by any currently proposed activities, they may be adversely impacted by future recreational activities and erosion. Therefore, an evaluation of the potential eligibility of sites 11-T-205, -240, and -243 for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is required. Sites 11-T-205, -240, and -243 are prehistoric lithic scatters situated on the first terrace above the Farm Creek floodplain. Each of the sites is wooded, and none appears to have been disturbed by modern cultivation. Each of the investigated sites is small, and artifact density and artifact class diversity are low, suggesting sites 11-T-205, -240, and -243 functioned as field camps. No temporally diagnostic artifacts were recovered at the sites during the present investigation, but an occupation dating to the Middle Archaic period was identified at site 11-T-205 during an earlier survey.

At the request of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Memphis District, Panamerican Consultants, Inc. (Panamerican) of Memphis, Tennessee performed a Phase I cultural resources survey of the Above, Luxora, Luxora, and Osceolo Relief Wells project area in Mississippi County, Arkansas, under Delivery order no. 0026, Contract no. W912EQ-06-D-0001. The project involves the installation of relief wells o the landward side of the levee. The project area consists of an area parallel to the existing levee berm toe and extends 200 ft (ft.: 60.96 meters [m]) landward. The project areas extends from Station 64/35+00 to Station 24/47+00. The total area investigated was approximately 960 acres 9ac.). A literature and records check at the Arkansas Archaeology Survey (AAS) in Fayette ville demonstrated that several previously recorded archaeological sites were located within and near the project area. Filed investigations were conducted from August 20 to 28, 2009 buy the author and three filed technicians. One portion of the ROW was not investigated, as it was under a large industrial complex that is presently under construction. During the survey, 17 previously recorded sites and 10 newly recorded archaeological sites (3MS885-3MS894) were identified. Seven 9n=7) of the previously recorded sites were known oly from General Land Office (GLO) maps; three of these are current farm operations, three are under the levee and/or town of Osceola, and the seventh (3MS258) was recorded as a surface and subsurface scatter of historic material during this study and recommended as not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (). Fourpreviouss sites have been destroyed by the construction of an industrial complex south of Osceola: they had been recommended as not eligible The five remaining previous sites, and all 10 of the new sites, are sparse historic scatters heavilyy disturbed by plowing and are recommended as not eligible for listingg on the NRHP. No additional archaeological work is recommended for the project area.
