1994 An Archeological Survey of the Proposed NorAm, Inc., 24" Gasline, FM-63, Richland and Franklin Parishes, Louisiana. Submitted to NorAm, Inc. Shreveport, Louisiana. 32 pages.
During the week of May 23, 1994, the Arkansas Archeological Survey conducted a cultural resources survey of the proposed route of NorAm, Inc.'s Line FM-63 gasline in Louisiana. Originating at the NorAm, Inc. pumping station 1.6 km (1 mile) east of Holly Ridge, Richland Parish, the proposed route proceeds in a general southeasterly direction to merge with the Tenneco, Inc. pipeline at Bayou Maçon, 6.4 km (4 miles) due south of Delhi, Richland Parish. The total length of the project area is 57.12 km (35.7 miles) and was shovel tested in a corridor 45.7 m (150 feet) wide. Two sites were located: 16RI256, a prehistoric site consisting of a flake and a corner-notched projectile point, and 16RI257, a demolished tenant house. Neither site is eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places and no further work is recommended.

1995 From Shreveport to Monroe: An Archeological Survey of the Proposed Arkla, Inc. Line F. Replacement. Submitted to NorAm Gas Transmission, Shreveport, Louisiana. 81 pages.
From December, 1993 through January, 1994, the Sponsored Research Program of the Arkansas Archeological Survey conducted a cultural resources survey of the proposed replacement of NorAm Inc.'s Line F gas pipeline in northern Louisiana. Originating near Blanchard, Caddo Parish and extending east to Sterlington, Ouachita Parish, the route surveyed covers approximately 167 km (104 miles). A corridor 45.7 m wide (150 feet) was surveyed along the entire length resulting in a project area of 763 ha (1885.8 acres). In October 1994 five reroutes, 11 access roads and a stackyard were also surveyed adding approximately 6.47 ha (16 acres) to the project total. The Line F survey recorded five new archeological sites; 16BO330, 16CL120, 16CL122, 16LI47 and 16LI48 and investigated one previously recorded site, 16BO8. It also recorded four artifact locales; No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4, which are, by definition, not significant cultural resources and these locations retain their temporary field numbers. The Werner Mound site (16BO8) and 16CL120 are both prehistoric Caddoan Bossier Phase occupations that have been destroyed by continued twentieth century land use practices and no further work is recommended at either site. Sites 16BO330, 16CL122 and 16LI48 are historic 19th/20th century occupations that are so heavily disturbed as to also be ineligible for nomination to the National Register. Site 19LI47 is a historic 19th/20th century occupation consisting of an unlined well and a possible burned outbuilding. However, the eligibility of the site cannot be determined without more extensive work. It is recommended that the pipeline be shifted 15 m (50 feet) to the south edge of the right of way, thereby avoiding the site.

1996 An Archeological Survey of the Proposed NorAm, Inc. A-322 Natural Gas Pipeline, Union and Lincoln Parishes, Louisiana. (Addendum) Submitted to NorAm Gas Transmission, Shreveport, Louisiana. 27 pages.
During December 1993, the Sponsored Research Program of the Arkansas Archeological Survey conducted a cultural resources survey of the NorAm, Inc. proposed A-322 gas pipeline in north central Lincoln Parish and south central Union Parish. This connecting line between a compressor station and an existing pipeline is approximately 5.6 km (3.5 miles) long and was shovel tested at 30 m intervals in two transects along its entire length. The corridor examined was 45.7 m (150 feet) wide and the total area examined was 26.6 ha (65.7 acres). A single reroute 500 m (1640 feet) long, totaling 2.4 ha (5.9 acres), was also examined in October 1994 using the same methods. No cultural resources were discovered in any of the shovel tests.

1984 A Cultural Resource Survey of a Proposed Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company Compressor Station and Pipeline Project Area, Sterlington, Ouachita Parish, Louisiana. Submitted to Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company. 23 pages.
The Sponsored Research Program of the Arkansas Archeological Survey conducted a cultural resource survey of a proposed project right-of-way at the Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company, Sterlington, Louisiana, station. A previously extant company town, built in the 1920s, was documented on the basis of informant information. The buildings were removed in the 1970s. An important prehistoric site, 16OU18, had been reported as potentially located within the project area; however, no cultural material (other than recent historic roadside trash) was found within the project right-of-way. In the absence of cultural material, it is recommended that no further archeological work is necessary at this time.

1984 Cultural Resources Survey of the Proposed Bierne, Arkansas, to Perryville, Louisiana,Arkla Pipeline Project Right-of-way. Submitted to Cantor Associates, Norman, Oklahoma. 217 pages.
In January and February, 1984, the Sponsored Research Program of the Arkansas Archeological Survey performed a Phase I cultural resources survey of the 180 km right-of-way of a proposed Arkla pipeline project from Bierne, Arkansas, to Perryville, Louisiana. The right-of-way is 18.2 m wide (331 ha). A total of 43 sites were recorded during the survey. This included 13 sites and six single find sites in Arkansas, and 19 sites and five spot finds in Louisiana. Eight of these sites were recommended for either further investigation or avoidance. Arkla elected to avoid all of the recommended archeological properties.

1993 Cultural Resources Survey of the Proposed ARKLA Line ACE, Mississippi Portion, Bolivar County, Mississippi. Submitted to ARKLA Energy Resources Company, Shreveport, Louisiana. 28 pages.
From August 31 to September 10, 1992, the Arkansas Archeological Survey conducted a cultural resources survey of the proposed route of the Arkla, Line ACE gas pipeline in Mississippi. This pipeline begins at the east bank of the Mississippi River and extends east for approximately 46 kilometers (29 miles) to near Shaw, in Bolivar County. The area of investigation was limited to the 45 meter (150 foot) right-of-way and associated road and stream crossings except where sites were encountered. Seven historic and prehistoric archeological sites were recorded and one previously recorded site (22BO645) was revisited. None of the sites have intact cultural deposits and it is the opinion of the Arkansas Archeological Survey that no further archeological investigations are necessary in the proposed pipeline corridor.

1995 Additional Cultural Resource Investigations in the New Perspectives Research Standsof the Ouachita National Forest: The 13 Sites Project. Submitted to Ouachita National Forest, Hot Springs, Arkansas. 71 pages.
The Arkansas Archeological Survey undertook additional cultural resources investigations on 13 sites located in the New Perspectives research stands in Montgomery, Polk, Scott, and Yell Counties in Arkansas, and Leflore County in Oklahoma. The object of this research was to document the sites prior to a series of proposed timber sales and map the site features, confirm site boundaries, and gain additional information about the nature of the occupations. The sites were revisited following the timber sales and cutting and the preservation measures on each of the sites were evaluated. Finally, a monitoring plan for these and other sites in the Ouachita Mountains was developed to gauge both natural and human effects on the preservation of sites within the Ouachita Forest.

1984 An Archeological Survey of the Lower Lee Creek Water Supply, Crawford County, Arkansas, and Sequoyah County, Oklahoma, with Addendum: An Archeological Survey of the Proposed Powerline Relocation and Adjoining Acquisition Land for the Lower Lee Creek Water Supply Project, Crawford County, Arkansas, and Sequoyah County, Oklahoma. Submitted to the City of Fort Smith and Burrough, Uerling, and Brasuel, Inc. 223 pages.
The Phase I survey of approximately 1,100 acres in Crawford County, Arkansas, and Sequoyah County, Oklahoma of the proposed Lower Lee Creek Water Supply Project located 96 prehistoric and historic sites. Of these, 36 were recommended for Phase II testing to determine their eligibility for nomination to the National Register. Nine acres of powerline corridor and 122 acres of acquisition land added 13 more sites to the inventory, of which seven were recommended for further testing. This area contains the highest density of sites on record so far in Arkansas, 44 per square mile. Sites occur on all landforms and occupation ranges from Paleo-Indian to historic, and includes at least one protohistoric site.

1989 Interim Report on the Fort Hood Archeological Site Analysis. Submitted to U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction Engineering Research Laboratories, Champaign, Illinois. 101 pages.
This report summarizes the initial results of the Ft. Hood archeological site analysis, the first stage of a cooperative effort involving the Fort Hood Archeological staff, the U. S. Army Construction Engineering Laboratory (CERL), and the Arkansas Archeological Survey (AAS). This interim report discusses the goals of the investigation, the nature of the data, the analytic and management tools used in the project, and summarizes the preliminary results of analysis of the 1165 historic archeological sites at Ft. Hood using the GRASS-GIS system and S statistical system to define site groups for long-term cultural resource management. The study examines a subset of historic sites affiliated with the Antelope, Sparta, and Eliga community centers to demonstrate how the GRASS and S tools can be used in exploratory data analysis to define groups of related sites based on site function and association with agricultural land capability. A second section of the report shows in greater detail how exploratory data analysis is proceeding on the screening and analysis of the environmental variables, with particular emphasis on the assessment of site settlement trends and historic agricultural land use patterns.

1985 Archeological Survey of Arkla, Inc., AM-45 Pipeline Corridor, Bowie County, Texas. Submitted to Arkla, Inc., Shreveport, Louisiana. 7 pages.
The Sponsored Research Program of the Arkansas Archeological Survey conducted an intensive cultural resources survey of a 13.7 km proposed pipeline route for Arkla, Inc., June 30 to July 2 and July 9 and 10, 1985. The right-of-way corridor was 12.2 m wide and crossed upland divides and the floodplain of Days Creek in Bowie County, Texas. Only one archeological site was found, and it was identified as foundations of farm buildings dating to the very recent past. No state site number was assigned to this site, and no further archeological investigations were recommended for the project.
