A reconnaissance survey of the Keystone Lake Project Area |
|
resulted in the discovery of 270 sites, of which 198 have |
|
prehistoric components and 83 have historic components. |
|
The condition of previously recorded sites was updated in |
|
the course of the survey. Individual sites are evaluated |
|
with respect to their age and cultural affiliation; the |
|
manner in which they are exposed; their size, elevation, |
|
and geographical setting; and, the activities which |
|
occurred there. Attention is also given to the impact of |
|
the lake, of past agricultural and industrial activity, |
|
and of present recreational activity on the sites |
|
themselves and on the population of surface artifacts in |
|
the project area as a whole. The lake is indicated as |
|
being particularly destructive to sites, the great |
|
majority of which are exposed along the shoreline and are |
|
only apparent as beach scatters below an eroding bank or |
|
slope. Test excavations, described for prehistoric sites, |
|
largely confirm the adverse impact of the lake. Beach |
|
scatters--the primary source of artifactual data--are |
|
described as being maintained in a state of skewed |
|
uniformity through intense and extensive recreational |
|
collecting. Recreational collecting is cited as a |
|
significant deterrent to inferences about the age and |
|
cultural affiliation of sites and to the activities that |
|
occurred there. |
