Six locations underwent monitoring and mitigation, including 2 newly identified sites. Recovered Precontact artifacts (513) represent lithic, ceramic, floral and faunal categories. Ceramics are associated with the Late Woodland period (AD 600-1700). The occupation date suggested by stratigraphy is over 1000 years ago. Historic artifacts (37) represent the following categories: architectural objects; glass, wooden, and metal storage containers; dinnerware; faunal remains. Stratigraphy is discussed in detail for each location. Appendices include an artifact catalogue.
