Summary |
In 1994, the Archeology Office of the Kansas Historical Society (KSHS) initiated excavations to mitigate the impact to eight recorded archaeological sites--Larcom-Haggard, 14CO1; Arkansas City County Club, 14CO3; Schrope, 14CO331; Havelock, 14CO332; Living the Dream, 14CO382; Radio Lane, 14CO385; Killdeer, 14CO501; and Thompson Gardents, 14CO1509--in the path of the proposed Arkansas City Bypass and Levee Project. The project area is situated on the floor and adjacent uplands of the Walnut River valley east of the City of Arkansas City in southern Cowley County. In the end, over 600 subsurface pit features were excavated along with numerous features of other types. Four components are represented at the sites: the Late Archaic, Woodland, Great Bend aspect, and historic period. Only the Great Bend aspect component prooduced substantial information, the analysis of the other components does not go beyond document the location and nature of the recovered material culture. |
