SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW Briefdcscription orrerieu act}rities. results oJ'rc~-ieir. and conclusions: The site files and maps at the Office of State Archaeology \vere re\ iewed on Thursday', March 24, 2011. There are no precioush recorded archaeological sites \\ ithin a oue-mile radius of the proposed project; ho\\ e\ er. a comprehensi\ e sun ec of the project area has ne\ er been conducted. Digital copies of I-IPO's maps (Wihnar Quadrangle) were recie\ced on Tuesdac. March 29, 2011. revealing the presence of no historic resources situated \\ ithin or proximal to the APE that ma} hace intact archaeological deposits. Topographic maps, historic maps (NCMaps \\ ebsite)_ USDA soil sun e~ maps, and aerial photographs were utilized and inspected to gauge en\ ironnrental factors that mac ha\ a contributed to historic or prehistoric senlement \cithin the project limits, and to assess the le\ el of modern. slope, agricultural, h~ drological, and other erosive-h pe disturbances within and surrounding the archaeological APE. Orthophotograph} through the NCDOT's GIS Division as well as throu~* Pitt Counh's Online Parcel Information S}stem (OPIS) (http://gis2.pittcounhnc.go\/opis}) prodded recent aerials (2004 and 2009) of the project area. Google Maps provided StreetView imagers' dated 2011. Both eastern quadrants are made up of agricultural fields separated from the evsting road b~ a \\ ide, deep ditch line. .chich delineates the existing ROW for SR 178. The Northnestern Quadrant consists of a sparsely \\ooded Cield. \chcreas the South\\estern Quadrant is complete)} co\ered in trees and thick underbrush; as \cith the eastern quadrants. both western quadrants are separated from the existing road b} a \cide, deep ditchline that delineates the existing ROW of SR 1781. In addition. a po\cerline easement runs parallel to SR 1781 through both western quadrants. The stark_ linear nature of this particular \\ aternac (i.e. Cla} root Swamp) suggests that i1 could be a man-made feature for draining the adjacent agricultural fields. The Web Soil Sune~'forPittCount'(http://oebsoilsunev.nres.usda.,o\/app/WebSodSune\.aspx) reveals that the stud} area (i.e. That \cithin the existing ROW) for the proposed project consists primarih of B\ ~~rs loam (By) and Leaf silt loam (Le). There hace been no projects requiring OSA's environmental re\ie\c conducted within cone-mile radius of the proposed project. A natural gas pipeline project (ER 02-1O1C,1) was conducted southeast of the project area. for \chich a sun e\ was recommended: ho\cecer. archaeological investigations were to be concentrated on speck areas and not the entire length of the project (i.e. areas contained \cithin existing NCDOT ROW \cere not subjected to sun e~ whereas areas along new location were). A reconnaissance sune} of the project area was not conducted.
