Abstract

Only one property was eligible based on both its prehistoric and historic archaeological resource elements. Fourteen were eligible through historic elements only, and 18 through prehistoric only.The fourteen properties eligible through their historic elements had a combined total of 23 historic and 9 prehistoric components. The most frequently represented historic period was 1870-1930, occurring at all 14 properties. There were also two components from the period 1930 to the present. All historic cultural properties or resource elements were assigned to the domestic functional class.The 18 prehistoric properties contained 23 prehistoric and 5 historic components. Included are two Middle Woodland villages and activity camps dating to the Early Archaic, Middle Archaic, Late Archaic, Middle Woodland, and Climax Mississippian Periods. Seven activity camps could not be dated to a specific prehistoric period. The sole property (9-JO-40) which merited eligibility through both its prehistoric and historic elements was a Late Archaic activity camp which served a domestic function during the period from 1782-1870.Table 9 presents the cultural resource elements recommended as potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
