The results of a Phase I archaeological survey of approximately 9.2 miles of levee construction corridors within the sub-impoundment area at the north end of the Carlyle Lake Wildlife Management Area on the Kaskaskia River in Fayette County, Illinois. Pedestrian survey and screened shovel tests found no evidence of prehistoric or historic archaeological sites within the project area. Clearance of this project in regard to cultural resources is recommended. The survey. was conducted in August 1993 by American Resources Croup, Ltd., for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District on lands managed as a wildlife refuge by the Illinois Department of Conservation. The project is planned under Section 1135 of the Water Resources Development Act with the object of modifying or improving existing water resources projects.

This volume reports on the 1985 Phase I and Phase II archaeological investigations conducted for the St. Louis District, Corps of Engineers in conjunction with the Shoreline Erosion study, D.M. No. 14, at Carlyle Lake, Clinton County, Illinois. Phase I pedestrian survey and shovel testing covered approximately 41 acres, encompassing over 18 separate tracts, and resulted in the location of 13 prehistoric archaeological sites, 5 of which were previously recorded. In addition, 22 isolated find locales produced 19 unknown prehistoric components and 4 historic components. Phase II testing was conducted at five prehistoric archaeological sites. One site, Illinois Archaeological Survey No. 11CT385, contained subsurface Late Woodland features. One of these produced a radiocarbon age of 1090 + or - 60 years, A.D. 860 + or - 60, in association with Late Woodland ceramics similar to Early Bluff or Raymond materials. An appendix by William M. Cremin details the botanical remains recovered, while another by Carl R. Falk summarizes the faunal remains. Analyses of all recovered materials are provided along with potential National Register of Historic Places eligibility recommendations for the tested sites.

Riparian Landscapes examines the ecological systems of streamside and floodplain areas from the perspective of landscape ecology. The specific spatial pattern of riparian vegetation is seen as a result of, and a control on, the ecological, geomorphological, and hydrological processes that operate along rivers. Riparian structures are controlled by the spatial dynamics of channels, flooding and soil moisture. These dynamics are part of integrated cascades of water, sediment, nutrients and carbon, to which animal and plant species respond in ways that illuminate community structure and competition. The role of the riparian zone in controlling species distribution and abundance is discussed. Intelligent management of these valuable ecological resources is highlighted. The potential for linking hydrological, geomorphological and ecological simulation models is also explored. This book will be of interest to graduate and professional research workers in environmental science, ecology and physical geography.

These Proceedings comprise two parts. Part I contains eight contributed papers on hydrology, fauna, soils, forests, agriculture and ecology. Part II comprises reports resulting from the five interdisciplinary workgroups whose participants included ecologists, botanists, zoologists, engineers, hydrologists, agrologists, dendrologists, resource managers and other specialists. Their aim was to evaluate conservation and management practices for wetland portions of the bottomland forests of the southeastern United States and to provide technical advice to responsible federal agencies. Thus the book is a state-of-knowledge review of scientific literature and current research, particularly that necessary to understand the effects of alterations such as forest clearing, land drainage or levee building that impair natural functions, i.e. production of timber, maintenance of water quality, flood water storage, support of migrating waterfowl and fish, carbon dioxide balance of the atmosphere etc.
