At the request of Lockheed Martin Energy Systems (LMES), an archeological evaluation of previously recorded and inventoried prehistoric and historic archeological sites on the Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) was conducted between June 21 and November 22, 1994. The project was supervised by Peter A. Souza, an LMES staff member at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and the Principal Investigator was Glyn D. DuVall. One or more LMES project representatives (Peter A. Souz, Mick C. Wiest, Jr., and James G. Rogers) accompanied the Principal Investigator during all project evaluations. The reconnaissance to assess adverse impacts to cultural resources located within the boundaries of federally licensed, permitted, funded or assisted projects was conducted in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (Public Law 89-665; 16 U.S.C. 470; 80 Stat. 915), the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Public Law 91-190; 91 Stat. 852; 42 U.S.C. 4321-4347) and Executive Order 11593 (May 13, 1971). The purpose of the evaluation was to relocate and evaluate known/previously inventoried archeological sites (prehistoric and historic) and standing structures within the boundaries of the ORR The evaluation was (1) to determine, based on the physical condition, period of occupation, and cultural affiliation(s), eligibility of the sites for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), and (2) to observe, record, and photographically document disturbance to the sites and determine if damage from prior construction, development, looting, or natural forces has adversely affected the sites.
