Based on this review there are no NR, DE, LL, SL or SS in the Area of Potential Effects (APE). One property—James Chapel Baptist Church was constructed in 1950, however; the plain church does not rise to the level of National Register eligibility. There are no other structures over 50 years of age in the APE. No Survey is required at this time. Why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting that there are no unidentified significant historic architectural or landscape resources in the project area: Using HPO GIS website and county tax data provides reliable information regarding the structures in the APE. These combined utilities are considered valid for the purposes of determining the likelihood of historic resources being present.

PROJECT INFORMATION Project No: SR 1506 County: Haywood WBS No: 14C.044181 Document: Minimum Criteria F.A. No: na Funding: ® State ❑ Federal Federal Permit Required? ® Yes ❑ No Permit Type: USACE Project Description: The project calls for the widening and paving of SR 1506(James Chapel Road) in Haywood County. The archaeological Area of Potential Effects (APE)for the project is defined as an approximately 1,000 foot (304.80 m) long corridor running east from SR 1505 (Bald Creek Road). The corridor is approximately 60 feet(18.29 m)wide measuring 30 feet(9.14 m)from either side of the centerline. SUMMARY OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDINGS The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)Archaeology Group reviewed the subject project and determined: There are no National Register listed or eligible ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES present within the project's area of potential effects. (Attach any notes or documents as needed) No subsurface archaeological investigations were required for this project. Subsurface investigations did not reveal the presence of any archaeological resources. Subsurface investigations did not reveal the presence of any archaeological resources considered eligible for the National Register. �Q All identified archaeological sites located within the APE have been considered and all compliance for archaeological resources with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and GS 121-12(a) has been completed for this project. "NO NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBLE OR LISTED ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES PRESENT" form for the Amended Minor Transportation Projects as Qualified in the 2007 Programmatic Agreement. 1 of 10 Project Tracking No.: 18-05-0025 SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions: NCDOT has conducted an archaeological investigation for the proposed widening and paving of James Chapel Road in Haywood County,North Carolina. The project area is located north of Canton and plotted in the southeast corner of the Fines Creek USGS 7.5'topographic quadrangle(Figure 1). Background Research A map review and site files search was conducted by Casey Kirby at the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on June 4, 2018. No known archaeological sites or previous investigations are identified within or adjacent to the APE, and only one site(31HW89)has been reported within a mile of the road. In general, previous archaeological investigations are rare in this section of Haywood County,which have contributed to a lack of known sites. The one known site, 31HW89,was recorded by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1964 during the Cherokee Archaeological Project. Little information is available about this precontact site other than its location along Bald Creek, south of the current project area. With additional work in the region,the presence of more sites is likely as the setting is favorable for early habitation. According to the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office online data base (HPOWEB 2018), there are no known historic architectural resources within the APE that may yield intact archaeological deposits. County and regional maps prior to the 20th century provide no significant information for the project area or vicinity. By turn of the century,maps begin to depict more accurate details allowing for the project area to be placed. The 1901 USGS Asheville map displays Bald Creek Road and a trail that follows an alignment similar to the current James Chapel Road(Figure 2). Three structures are plotted to the south of the trial, one of which is likely James Chapel Baptist Church. These structures appear to be outside of the APE. The later 1925 soil map shows a similar picture with the addition of a fourth structure to the north and the identification of the James Chapel structure near the intersection(Jurney et al. 1925)(Figure 3). Although early historic structures were in the area, structural remains should be outside the project area and are likely considered insignificant. The USDA soil survey map for Haywood County shows the APE consisting almost entirely of the Cullowhee-Nikwasi complex(CxA) (USDA NRCS 2018) (Figure 4). This series is reported to be situated on floodplains and subject to frequent flooding. It is considered somewhat poorly drained to very poorly drained with a 0 to 2 percent slope. The investigation,however, found this to be incorrect. Most of the project area is situated instead on a sloping stream terrace east of Bald Creek,while the floodplain occupies the fields to the west and a narrow section adjacent to the creek's eastern bank. Soils on the terrace are well drained. According to the property owner,the stream terrace does not flood unlikely the floodplain. This discrepancy in the soil data initiated subsurface testing. Fieldwork Results The archaeological field reconnaissance and survey for the proposed widening and paving of James Chapel Road was carried out on June 14 and 15,2018. This included systematic shovel testing at 15-meter(ca. 49.21 feet)intervals on the stream terrace northeast of the bridge over Bald Creek and a surface inspection. Two addition judgmental shovel tests were placed west of the creek on either side of the road. These were both located within the floodplain. No shovel testing occurred in areas with obvious disturbance such as in the Little Creek modified channel south of James Chapel Road or on impervious surfaces. A total of 13 shovel tests(STs)were initially excavated of which one was positive for precontact materials(see Figure "NO NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBLE OR LISTED ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES PRESENT" form for the Amended Minor Transportation Projects as Qualified in the 2007 Programmatic Agreement. 2 of 10 Project Tracking No.: 18-05-0025 4). Two additional STs were excavated at 7.5-m intervals in order to delineate the site within the project limits. No shovel tests were placed outside of the APE, since this area will not be impacted. The finds were recorded as archaeological site 31HW616. The subsequent surface inspection,which was at 100 percent in the fields west of the creek, failed to identify any archaeological resources. James Chapel Road runs east to west(see Figure 4). Little Creek is located along the southern edge of the road, and Bald Creek is crossed at Bridge No. 306 near the western end. These waterways are part of the French Broad drainage basin. The APE is situated mostly on a sloping stream terrace east of Bald Creek, but a floodplain makes up the fields west of Bald Creek and extends approximate 25 m(ca. 82 ft)to the east as well before the land rises. Properties consist of farmlands with a large pasture to the east and smaller corn fields to the west(Figures 5 and 6). The corn fields were recently planted and provided excellent surface visibility at the time of the investigation. James Chapel Baptist Church is to the southeast with all structures outside of the APE. Pavement and a Baptism pool in Little Creek(just east of the drive over the creek)are the only features associated with the Church within the project limits. Modern development is minimal, although Little Creek appears to have been modified or straightened over time. Other disturbances such as soil erosion are moderate,but plowing is severe with no intermediate soil layer visible between the plowzone and subsoil in soil along the terrace. The soil stratigraphy on the terrace is fairly consistent with two strata. The surface layer or plowzone is generally thinnest near the creek and gradually thickens as the landform rises. It is a dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4)loam with heavy gravel that is 25 to 55 cm(ca. 10 to 22 in)thick. This layer is followed by subsoil,which is a strong brown(7.5YR 5/6)clay loam with little to no gravel. Occasionally, gravel in the plowzone was too compacted or the rocks too large for excavations to reach subsoil. This was usually around 40 cm(ca. 16 in)below the surface. The soil stratigraphy in the floodplain displays three strata. The upper is a dark brown(10YR 3/3) loam mottled with yellowish brown(10YR 5/4) loam that extends approximately 25 to 40 cm(ca. 10 to 16 in)below the surface. Gravel is heavy in this layer east of Bald Creek,but very light to the west. The second layer is a brown(10YR 5/3) sandy loam mottled with yellowish brown(10YR 5/4) loam that is 10 to 20 cm(ca. 4 to 8 in)thick. Again,gravel is strong to the east and nearly absent in the west. Finally,the third stratum is a dark grayish brown(10YR 4/2)clay loam that reaches at least 60 cm(ca. 24 in)below the surface. No gravel was seen in this layer. 31HW616 Site 31HW616 is a precontact site situated on the stream terrace northeast of the Bald Creek and Little Creek confluence (see Figure 4). The site was found during ST excavations as previously mentioned. Surface visibility was poor in this section of the APE with dense grass. STs were placed at 15-meter intervals along one transects running east-west. When cultural resources were identified additional shovel tests were placed at 7.5-m interval on either side the positive tests. No STs were excavated inside the pasture to the north, since this was outside APE. Furthermore,Little Creek prevented any testing to the south. As a result,the site is bounded by negative tests to the east and west and Little Creek to the south. The site very likely extends north into the pasture. The current property owner confirmed this during a conversation. When the pasture was previously cultivated,he told of collected projectile points across the terrace up to 100 meters (ca. 328 ft) away. Within the current project limits, a total of five shovel tests were excavated at the site with three being positive for cultural material covering approximately 300 square meters. Disturbance at the site consists of past plowing and moderate soil erosion. Although the USDA soil survey shows the site as situated upon the somewhat to very poorly drained Cullowhee-Nikwasi complex,the field investigation confirms that the soils were actually well drained. The soils are likely the adjacent Statler loam(SuA) series,which are described as being well drained and found on terraces.

All were recovered from the upper soil layer or plowzone in mixed context. The ceramic sherd possibly dates to the Middle Woodland period. It could belong to the Conestee phase, but this is uncertain. Its temper consists of fine sand,while the surface is fabric impressed. The lack of information is due to its small size having been battered by plowing. The presence of quartz debitage, however, suggests an earlier Archaic period of occupation. It is highly likely several precontact occupations are found across the terrace. Within the current project limits, site 31HW616 lacks the potential to yield important information regarding the precontact occupation of the region. The artifacts were recovered in low numbers and in a disturbed context. No intact deposits were identified either and appear unlikely. As a result, site 31HW616 is recommended not eligible for the National Register, and no further work is required within the APE. However,the eligibility for that section of site 31HW616,which extends outside of the APE to the north and was not part of this investigation,will remain unevaluated. Summary and Recommendations The archeological investigations for the proposed widening and paving of James Chapel Road in Haywood County identified no significant archaeological resources within the APE. Although one site(31HW616) was recorded, it was determine not eligible for the National Register within the project limits due to a low artifact density,no vertical or horizontal integrity, and no evidence of intact deposits. Therefore,this site would not contribute any new or important information. No further archaeological work is recommended for this road improvement project. However, if design plans change to impact areas outside of the APE, then further archaeological work will be required. Site 31HW616 extends outside the APE to the north and this portion of the site was not evaluated for the National Register during this investigation.
