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.

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.

Report describes results of Phase 1 archaeological & geomorphological survey of 121 ac. within the Batchtown Habitat Rehabilitation Enhancement Project (HREP), Pool 25, Mississippi River (mile 242 to mile 248, left bank), Calhoun County, Illinois. The project involves construction/enlargement of levees and 7 water control structures. Pedestrian survey and shovel testing located 3 prehistoric sites (11-C-2O6, 11-C-2O8, 11-C-209), 3 historic sites (11-C-2O5, 11- C-207, 11-C-211), and 1 prehistoric & historic site (11-C-21O). Potentially eligible sites 11-C-2O7, 11-C-2O8, 11-C-2O9 & 11-C-21O will be avoided by the project. Geomorphological investigations revealed land forms with potential for buried sites in the project's central portion; other areas have very little potential for containing cultural deposits. Project clearance in surveyed areas in regard to cultural resources is recommended. Survey was conducted in June, 1994 by American Resources Group, Ltd., for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District on lands managed for waterfowl by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The project is planned under the HREP, Environmental Management Program (EMP) established to enhance & rehabilitate the Upper Mississippi River system. (AN).
