AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The 1975 excavations were conducted to locate and to test for buried Archaic sites on certain alluvial bottoms within the proposed Tellico Reservoir. '…[T]he report is essentially descriptive with limited discussion of the artifact categories and the sites as a whole….[M]any definitions of the artifact categories are preliminary….[S]ome analytical aspects of the 1975 investigations are incomplete.' (page ii).The report focuses on investigations at Icehouse Bottom, the Harrison Branch site, and the Patrick site.
