Project Description: The project involves the proposed replacement of drainage network pipes
that include a new outlet and riprap pad at Goose Creek on the north side of Beddoes Lane/Falls
at Tar Court,resurface NC 43/NC 48 from north of the proposed roundabout to Beddoes Lane,
add a sidewalk on the west side of NC 43/NC 48 from the US 64 EB on/off ramp, and extend the
sidewalk on the east side of NC 43/NC 48 further north to Beddoes Lane in Nash County,North
Carolina. All proposed construction work will be completed within the existing right of way and
no easements will be required. The archaeological APE measures approximately 18.0 acres in
area.
SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW
Permitting and funding information was reviewed for determining the level of archaeological input
required by state and federal laws. Based on the submitted "request for cultural resources review"
form,the project is state funded with federal permit interaction. As such, Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act will apply. Next, construction design and other data was examined (when
applicable) to define the character and extent of potential impacts to the ground surfaces embracing
the project locale. The archaeological APE encompasses all areas of potential ground disturbing
activity and encompasses only the existing, disturbed& impacted,right of way.
Once an APE was outlined, a map review and site file search was conducted utilizing on-line
resources provided to the NCDOT by the Office of State Archaeology(OSA)on Thursday,December
9, 2021. No NRHP eligible archaeological sites or any other archaeological resources are located
within the APE or directly adjacent. Several prehistoric archaeological sites have been documented
within a %2 mile radius of the currently defined APE, increasing the liklihood of encountering similar
resources in undisturbed areas of the project area.
Examination of National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), State Study Listed (SL), Locally
Designated(LD), Determined Eligible(DE), and Surveyed Site(SS)properties employing resources
available on the NCSHPO website is important in establishing the location of noteworthy historic
occupations related to a perspective construction impact area. A cross-check of these mapped
resources concluded that none of the above properties with potential contributing archaeological
components are situated within the APE. In addition, historic maps of Nash County were appraised
to identify former structure locations, land use patterns, cemeteries,or other confirmation of historic

occupation in the project vicinity. Archaeological/historical reference materials were inspected as
well. In general, the cultural background review established that no previously recorded
archaeological sites, cemeteries, or NRHP properties with potential archaeological components are
located within the APE. Based on cultural-historical factors, the APE is considered to have a low
potential for the documentation of archaeological resources.
Further, topographic, geologic, flood boundary, and NRCS soil survey maps were referenced to
evaluate pedeological, geomorphological, hydrological, and other environmental determinants that
may have resulted in past occupation at this location. Aerial and on-ground photographs (NCDOT
Spatial Data Viewer) and the Google Street View map application (when amenable) were also
examined/utilized for additional assessment of disturbances, both natural and human induced,which
compromise the integrity of archaeological sites. Environmental/impact factors do not suggest a
heightened potential for archaeological resource recovery.
(This project falls within a North Carolina County in which the following federally recognized
tribes have expressed an interest: Catawba Nation. We recommend that you ensure that this
documentation is forwarded to these tribes using the process described in the current NCDOT
Tribal Protocol and PA Procedures Manual.)
Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably
predicting that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE:
There are no existing NRHP eligible archaeological sites within the projects APE, and it is
unlikely to contain significant, intact, and preserved archaeological deposits. The potential for
recording undisturbed archaeological remains at this location is low. As currently proposed as a
state funded project with federal permit interaction, no further consultation is advocated. A
finding of"no archaeological survey required" is considered appropriate.
