An Archaeological Survey for Cross Bayou Exploration's Midway 3-D Seismic Survey in the Kisatchie National Forest in Webster Parish, Louisiana

Abstract

A Phase I cultural resources survey of a 0.59 square mile area (375 acres) within the Caney Ranger District of the Kisatchie National Forest in central Webster Parish, Louisiana was conducted by Dixie Environmental Services Co., LP (DESCO) under the direction of Brazos Valley Research Associates (BVRA), the holder of the Archeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) permit. The project commenced on August 16, 2008 and ended on August 18, 2008. The investigations consisted of a file search for known sites within the project area prior to the field survey and visual inspections and shovel tests at the 73 pre-determined source point locations. No previously recorded prehistoric sites or historic sites are known to be located within the project area, and no new sites were found as a result of this study.
