Abstract
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.
