The purpose of this investigation is to meet obligations to Federal historic preservation legislation and associated implementing regulations. Cultural resources are defined as any site, building, district, structure, object, data, or material significant in history, architecture, archeology, or culture. The cultural resources investigation shall consist of (a) an exhaustive search and comprehensive review of existing literature and records for the entire reconnaissance area and adjacent project land and the sites identified for testing; (b) a thorough field examination of the project lands; (c) formal archeological excavation of the sites identified for testing; (d) data analysis; and (e) preparation of a comprehensive investigation report. There are eight sites involved in this study. All are located adjacent to Lake Francis Case in Lyman County, South Dakota. This report contains supporting documentation in the form of notes, photo records, maps and other information for a cultural resources investigation of two archaeological sites and a 30 acre survey conducted for the River Ranch Resort Developers.
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.
The evaluation of four sites along the west bank of Lake Francis Case for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places was conducted in 1986. Earlier work at these sites was assessed and on-site testing was implemented. Site 39GR32, a prehistoric/protohistoric cemetery, was found to have been completely eroded by wave action. Site 39GR53, a multi-component, prehistoric/historic site was determined to be inundated. Site 39LN33, an Initial Middle Missouri village site, contained significant remains, including multiple earthlodge depressions. The site is undergoing active, severe lake bank erosion. Site 39LM39, a multi-component, prehistoric (Extended Coalescent) and nineteenth century historic site was determined to have significant extant deposits of both cultural components, although the prehistoric component is suffering extensive cutbank erosion. National Register of Historic Places nomination forms were completed for the Lyman County sites. Both sites have the potential to contribute to research questions concerning cultural developments, interactions and processes within the Middle Missouri Area and Big Bend Archeological Region of South Dakota.

An intensive cultural resource inventory was conducted on approximately 1,140 acres of land adjacent to Lake Oahe in Emmons, Morton and Sioux Counties, North Dakota. A total of 34 archeological sites were recorded and evaluated indicating a possible continuum of occupation from the Archaic to the Historic time period. Thirteen of the sites evaluated are believed to be eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Further work is necessary in order to determine the eligibility of 14 sites. Seven sites are not believed to be eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.
