harlan county survey

The Harlan County intensive archaeological survey was done under contract with the US Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District. The object of the survey was to inventory archaeological resources on the periphery of the lake, to intensively test a number of known sites to determine their eligibility for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, and to make recommendations to the Corps regarding future management of the project area resources.

As a result of the field reconnaissance, a total of 64 new sites were located and their boundaries outlined. An assessment of each site was done focusing on the present and possible future disturbance at the sites resulting in the formulation of both specific and general recommendations for future actions.
