Proposal to Prepare an Archaeological Report on Results of a Sonar Survey of the Ohio River for Sections 2 and 5 of the Louisville-Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project

This proposal has been prepared in response to a request from staff of the KYTC for preparation of an archaeological report that interprets the results of a sonar survey to be conducted along two proposed bridge crossings of the Ohio River (Sections 2 and 5 of the Louisville-Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project) in Jefferson County, Kentucky. This investigation is intended to provide specific information concerning the nature and distribution of cultural resources that are currently either under water but within the proposed bridge alignments. The work that is proposed will include a review of existing documentary data (maps, atlases, newspaper articles, etc.) and archaeological site records pertaining to the project area and its vicinity. This information will serve as the basis for an archaeological and cultural resources interpretation of the results of a side-scanning sonar survey of the bridge crossings.
