A reconnaissance for prehistoric, historic, and architectural resources was conducted during June 1981 for the Helena, AR, and vicinity project located in northeastern Phillips Co., AR. The study methods included a review of published literature, examination of archival sources, a cartographic review, interviews with persons knowledgeable of the area, and field examination of selected portions of the proposed impact area.
On 25 November 1980, an intensive Cultural Resources Survey was conducted by the Environmental Resources Section of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Memphis District, over approximately one acre of corn field adjacent to the Main Line Levee. This open field is to be used as a borrow pit for materials used to repair the levee. A literature search and a pedestrian survey failed to locate any prehistoric, historic, or architectural sites within the project right-of-way.
A cultural resources survey was conducted. The results of the survey confirmed a low potential for the occurrance of significant archeological resources in those areas of the project not specifically covered by the survey.
Emphasis appears to be on Helena.
A cultural resources reconnaissance was conducted within eight separate parcels and Federal land totaling 320 acres in the vicinity of Norfork Lake, Arkansas and Missouri. This investigation resulted in the discovery of eight previously unrecorded archeological sites. All sites contained prehistoric components; one site also contained an historic period component. All sites had been heavily impacted by 20th century land management practices and no intact deposits were encountered. No additional investigations were recommend. (fr).
