Abstract:

In 1976, the Department of Cultural Resources dispatched a team of archaeologists to the New River Basin in the western portion of the state. Their task was to survey the area and assess any culturally significant material before a proposed hydroelectric project began. They identified two hundred sites and determined that the area had been occupied as early as 8,000 B.C.
