Description
This proposal has been prepared in response to a request from
staff of the KYTC for a PhaSe I Archaeological Survey proposal for
work on the High Street (US 25)/ Bridge and Approaches Replacement
Project in Boone County, Kentucky. This investigation is intended
to provide specific infor.mation concerning the nature and
distribution of potential archaeological resources within the
project area. The work that is proposed will include a review of
the existing archaeological sites and an evaluation of the extant
docuroenta:t'Y and cartographic sources pertaining to the project
area. This information will serve as the basis for the design and
completion of a :Phase I archaeological survey, using primarily
subsurface investigative techniques.
Description of proiect Area
