Abstract:

While the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers prepared a site to build the Falls of the Neuse Dam and Reservoir in 1978, the crew encountered remains of a historic dam. John W. Clauser, Jr. led a team of archaeologists from the Division of Archives and History to record and salvage the 1830s dam. The site was likely part of the area's rich paper mill industry.
