SUMMARY OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURC�S REVIEW: SURVEYBEQUI�ED Brref descriptrw� of revie�v «ctr��ilies, resrtlls of res�ieiv, aud carelrrsiairs: Bridge No. 76 is nortl�east of Hayesvillc and just soi�th of Tusquitee Creek icX the center of Clay Caifi�ty, North Carolina. The project area is pla#ted near the c�stern edge of tlie HAyesville USGS 7.5' topographic quadrangle (Figurc 1). A map revie�v and sitc file search �vas conducted at the Of�iee of State Archaeology {�SA) on February 20, 2014. No previotisly r�corde�l arclsaeological sites ha�e been identifted �viihin ar �djacei�t to the APE, but three knotvn sites (31CY26, 31CY�7, and 31CY32) ha�e been reported within thc vicinity. Accordii�g ta the Nartli Caroiiva State Nistoric Prese��vation Off'ice online data base (HPOWEB 2014), tliere are no kna�vn historic architeetural resaueces tvithin the APE tl�t may yield inlact archaeological deposits. Topograpl�ic ivaps, USDA sail survey maps, aerial photagraphs (NC Onc Map), �nd histoi�ic maps (Nnrth Caroliita m�ps �vebsite} �vcrc utilized to gage ct�vironmental and cultural variables that anay l�ave can#ributed !o prehistorie or itistoric setticmcnt �vitlyin the project lintits and to assess ttye level af ground disturb�nce. Bridge No. 7G and Tusquitee Creek Raad cross Pecker�vood Branch t�oriheast to south�vest. Peckerwood Branch joins �yith Tusquitee Creek appraatimately 45 m(ca. 1�18 fij npr#h�vest of the bridge.

This is a�vel! drained soii �vith a slope of lcss tl�an 2 percen�. It is subject ta frequent flooding for short periorls, bitt it is typically dry. The toe slope coi�sists of Tate loam (ThC). This series is Also well drained, but has a slape of S to 15 percent. Both soil types have the potential of producing arc�aeologicRl sites due to being dry, fairly le�cl, aud close to fi•esli �vater. They also ha�e tl�e potential of containing intaci cultura! deposits due to the possible presence of lightly dist��rbed soils. As a result, it is recammended that subsurface testing be conducted on these soils. The fi�tat soil type is tltc Evard-Co�vice contplex (EvD). This series occupies only a minar area ou thc residential la►vn. Tl�ese are well drained loamy soils �vith a slope of 15 to 3� percent. Sttbsurfacc testing is not nccessary for ttus series, siuce it is unlikely far signifscant depasits ta be Faund on slope of 15 percent or more. A reVie�v af the site files sho�v that at ie�st t�vo large scale archaeological inwestigations lzave been �ar�•ied near khe bridge. These invesligations have resulted in the ideutificatiou of tl�ree nearby sites (31GY26, 31 CY27, and 31 CY32). Howe�ei•, 31 CY32 is no�v considercd part of 31 CY27. Tl�e surround are� �vas first invcstigatcd duria�g the Univci•sity af North Caroliva at Chapel Hi11's (UNC-CH) Cherokcc Arcnaealogical Projecl in 19b4. All three sites �vere reported at Il�is tiine aloiag �vith � numbcr af other sites along Titsc�uikee Creek. The area tivas investigated a second timc during tUe Upper 1-�i�vassee River Survey by Wcstcin Carolina University in 1975. It is tho�igltt thak site 31CY27 was enlarged lo encompass 31CY32 n$cr this survcy. All three sites are located east of Bridge No. 76 at nearby Bridge No. 12, tvhich crosses aver Tusquitee Creelc by tivly of Do�vning Creek Road (SR 1325). The sites consist of ceranucs ai�d lithic u�aterial from an unidcnNfied prehistoric period. Site 31 CY32 is the reported location of a Nativc Al�aerican maund that was dcstroyed pridr to UNC-CH visit. Locat residences atso clai�n ti�at a iVati�e .eunerican village �vas situated ►vest of thcsc sites, but t�is has never been coi�f'�rmed. T�je knawi� sites a�-e siti�ated on Tusquitee Creek's floodplain attd lcvees. Soils are composed oF Dell�vood gravelly fine sandy laam (DgB; U to S percent slopc) and Reddies Ioam (RI�A; 0 to 3 percent slope}. Eligibility far khe National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) lias yet to be Pssessed for any of the sites. Altl�ougli it is likely the current project area �vas included during the previous stuciies, subsurface testing tvould not have been carried out. Si#es �ve�•e idetitified by surface insp�etio�s and Local informauts. As a result, furti�e�• subsuriace testing is recommended for projects alon� the Tiisquitee floadplain due to the higli potential of btiried sites not previousIy identified. A lsistoric map revie�v was also condiicted. Most e�rly tttaps prior to the 20th century pravide fe�v details cancerniug tUe project area. One of the earlicst in w�icU an approxituate location c�n be dctenniued is the 1837-1838 U.S. Ariny survey ntap (Figure 3). Tltis tnap was procinced under the guidance of Major W.G. Willia�ns in prep�ration for the remo�al of tl�e Clyerokee Indiat�s. Althougl� Tusquitee Creek is illustrated, Pecker�vood Brancl� is not. Nor are any structures sl�ot�n ne�r the appmxiinatc locatiou. Accarding to Brett Riggs's 1996 Resrflunl Perrfld Cltervkee Hotrse:lol�ls c�n�!

These household likely farmed a small kin-based hamiet that surrounded thc Pccker�vood fainily holdings. The loca#ions of these households have yet to be detern�ined by past arct�aeological investigations.

Thc nexk det�iled map af the project arca is not published unkil titie earIy 20tis century. The 19�G USGS Nautal�ala topographic map plots Tusquitec Creek and Peckenvaod Branch, but no crossing ar road similar ko t�e current Tusquitee Creek Road are sho�vn (Figure 4}. The nearest road is a pre�ecessor to Do�vnings Creck Road ta khe east, �yliicn runs the lengil� oF Pecker�vaod Brsnch. Unfarlunately, this map displays n4 structures. By the 1930s, inaps sucl� as thc 1935 Soil 5ui•vey for Clay County show a mare madern pictut-e of the area {I'igure 5). Tusquitee Creek Road with its crassing aver Pecker�vood Brancl� are illustrated at the location of thc current bridge. A stn�cture is also plotted to the southeasl, tvhicli corresponds wilh klte cucrent hoi�se just autside of the APE. Although the mag revie�v shorv na historic struetures �vithin the APE, the reported presence af 19tii eentury Cherolcee farmsteads in thc area especially along Pecl�er�voad Branch �vhich have nat been identificd suggest that subsuriace trsting is nceded. A prelii�unnry backgraund investigatiop suggests thst additiottal �vo�•k is needed t�ithin tIie proposed project area. T�e praperty along Tusc�uikee Ct�cck is kna�vn to have been settled by the Cherokee with numerous farmsteads along the creek and its tributacies. The Iandfo�•ms and soils are typically well suited for early settieinent activitics since they are ciry, fau'ly lcvel, a��d close to i'resh water. Also, t}�e preseuce af minimally disturbed soils in an at'ea ltno��n for high occupation suggcsts thc possibility of intact baried deposits. Additianal tvark in t��e form of � recoiuiaissancc aod field suivey is rec�nunended in order to record possible �rch€tcologieal sites ti�at miglit bc impacted by the proposed replacement of Bridge No. ?6 in Glay Caunty.

The p�•oject a�•e� is plotted close to tlte eastern edge of the Haycsville USGS 7.5' topograpliic qu�drangle (Figure I). � p,.3,si� �o,� A ma� revicw and site tile se�rch tvas conducted at the Office of 5tate Archaeology (OSA) on February 20, 2014. No preyiously recorded archaeological sites l�avc beeu identified t�itt�in or adjacent to the APE, but ttu-ee kno;vn sites (31CY26, 31 CY27, and 31 CY32) ha�e been reported �vithin Ihe vieinity. According to the North Carolina State Historic Prescrvatiou Office online dat� base (HFOWEB 2414}, there are sio kno�vn I�iskoric arehiteciural resaui�ces �vithin t�e A!'E that may yield intact archaeoldgical deposits. Topographic maps, USDA soil survcy maps, aerial photogi�aphs (NC One Map), and historic maps {Nortl� Carolina maps website} �ve�-e utilized to gage environntent�l aud cultur�l variablcs that u�ay have contributed to pretustoric or historic settlerneui �vithin thc project lintits and to assess thc level of ground disti�ri�ance. An arc�fleoIogical recoluyflissatice snd ficltl su�'vey �vas carried out on March 18, 2414, to furfl3er assist in e�aluating the project flrea, Bridge Na. 7b and Tusc�uitee Creek Road cross Pecicer�voad Brancii northeast to southtvest. Peckenvood Branch joins �vitia 'Tusquitee Ct�eek approximately 45 rn (ca. 148 ft) nort�ivest of the bridgc. TUese �vatex��ays are part of the Hitivassee drainage bAsin. Mos# of tue project �rea residcs alang the Peckerwood Brancl�l'I'usquitee Creek flood�lain, but the �vestern end of the APE falls �long a toe slope (Figurc 2). Open pastttre is found to tl�e south and southeast of the bridge (rigures 3�nd 4), ►v�ile a residential praperty is to the south�vest (Figure 5}. North of the road and bridge ar� T�Esquitee Creek and �t sn�all landscaped garden (Figures 6 ar�d 7). According to tfie p��operty owner, the landf�rni ta the north consisls mostly off111, which �r�as cluntped witlt modern tt�ash in order ta raise the floodplain to lielp alleviate Roociing. Soil crosion is also heavy to the northwest �vith subsoil exposed at the base af tt�c toe slopc and alongside Peckerwood Branc� to t�e soutl�east. Qver�ll, grou�yd disturbance is minimal in #he pasture, but scvere else�vhere. Other than soil erasian and fill, gro�ind disturbance from farm vebieles and tivestock is also pi�ese�tt aloug the feuce-lines aud stream. Lastly, ti�c el�atutels for Peckerwvood Branch along witl� a su�all �uu�amed tributary south�vest of the bridge l��ve been modified to providc relief &om flaading �nd ta accamntotiate the Tusyuitee Creek Road (see Figure 4}. Tfus �v��s con�rmed by tl�e property o�vncr. According lo tl�e USDA soil survey �p, the APE eucoinpasses tlu•ee soi! types (see Figure 2). The flaodplain cansisEs of Rosman finc sandy laam (RsA). Tl�is is a well draincd sail ��ith a slope of less than 2 percent. It is subject to frec�ueut flooding fo�• sl�ort periods, but it is typically dry. The tae slope consists of Ta►c loam (TI�C}. Ttus series is also �vell drained, but has a slape of S to I S percent. Batl� sail types have thc polential ofproduciiig arcl�aealogical sites due to bein� dry, fairly le�el, and clase to fresh �vater. As a result, it �vas reconunended tl�at subsurface testing be co�iductcd o;i these soils. The �i�al soil type is the Evflrd-Co�yee complex (EvD). Tliis series occtipies anly � minor area on the residential la►�n. These are ►veil drained lo�iny soils tvith a slope of I S to 3p percent. Since it is unlikely far significant deposits to be found Qn slope of 15 percent or more, na stibsurface testing was necessary for this serics. A revicw of the site files sho�v that at least t�vo large scale flrcliaeological iitivestigations have bee� carried ncar tl�e bridge. Thesa iuvestigations have res�tlted in the idcntificatian of t��ree nearby sitcs (31CY26, 31CY27, and 31CY32). Ha�vever, 31CY32 is uow co��sidercd part af 31CY27. The sttrrounc� area �vas fu•st investigated during the Univei�sity vf Norlh Carolina at Chapel Hill's (UNC-CH) Clferokee Arcl�aeoiogic�l Projeci iu 1964. All three sites �vere i•epo�'ted at this time ala��g �vith a nuznber of other sites on Tusquitee Creek. The area was investigated � second time during the Upper Hitivassce River Survey by 1�Vestern C�roiina Universily in 1975. It is tliought tlyat site 31CY2? was enlarged to encompass 31CY32 aRer ti�is sur�ey.

As a res;ilt, subsurfnce tcsting ►vas reconut�ended for t1�e praject along tl�e Tusquitee floodplain duc to the high potential of buricd sites not previously ideu[ified, A historic u�ap review was also conducted prior to thc reconnaissanee and field survey. Most eacly maps beFore the 20th century pravide fe�v details concenting the project area. Qnc of the earlicst in wluel� an approxim�te localion c�n be detennined is tlze 1837-183$ U.S. Army survey map (Figure 8). This tnap was produced undcr the guidance of Major W.G. Williams in pregaralion for tl�e reinoyal of t�e Cherokee Indians. Although Titsquitce Creek is illuskrated, Peckerwood Branch is not. Nor are any str«ctures sUowu near the appraximate locatian.

This nnn�ber co�ues from William Welch aud I�irru•ad Jarrett's appraisals of Cherokee properties cflnducted in 1$3b— 1837. This �vork �vas carried out under Article 9 of the Treaty of Ne�� Ect�ota, tvltic� states: ...'The United States agrees ta m�kc �n appraiscment af the value of all Cherokee improveme��ts and ferries...'I7�e Indians slyall be furnished �vith sufficient fitnds %r their removal, and the balance of Iheir dues shall be paid d�etn at tlie Cherokee Agency �vesl of thc �14ississippi (Charles Roy�e, I887. The Chcrakee Nation of Indi�ns. Frfilr stirrrtral Reparf, Bureau af Americau Etl�uology. Sinithsonian Iikstitution,lVashingtan, D.C.). Tl�ese housetiold likely formed a suiall kin-based hamlcl tl�at surrounded the Peeker►vood family holdings. The loc�tions of these hoi�seholtls have yet to be determined by archaeolagic�l investigatious. In additiou, other undocumented Cherokee farnisteacls are also likely present along the drainage. The next do�ailed ivap of tue project area is not published until the cariy 20th century. Ti�e 1906 USGS Nantaltaia topographic map plots Tusquitee Creek and Peckerwoad Braiacta, but no crossing or raad siinilar to tlie current Tusqt�itee Creek Road are shown (Figure 9). The nearest raad is a predecessor to Downiugs Creek Raad to the east, tvhich runs the length ofPeckcr�vood Brane�i. Unfortun�tely, this map displays no skructw•es. By the 1930s, maps such as the 1935 Soil Survey for Clay County shoiv a more tttodern picture of the area (Figure IU}. Tust�uitee Crcck Road ��ith a crossing over Peeker�yoad Brauch are ill��strated at tl�e locatian of tiie current bcidge. A structure is also plotted to the soiith��est, ►vhich corresponds �vith tl�e curi�cnt l�ouse just outside af the APE. Although thc �nap revietiv slio�v �ao l�istoric S[PLICLLICPS 1YIflllri f�1C .APE, the reported prescnce of 19th ccntury Cl�erokee farin�teads in the area alang Peckertvood Branch suggest tlsat subsurfacc testing is nceded.

The STPs �vere excavated 3Q m(ca. 98 ft) apart witl�in il7e paslure along lhe ffoadplain (sea Figures 2 and 3). The soil stratigr�phy consisls of k�vo laycrs. Tlfe upper layer or plo�vzane is a dark yello�vislt bro�vn (lOYR 3/4 ar 414) laamy sand that is app�•oximately 4U to 4S cm (ca. 16 ta 1 S in} thick. This is fallo�ved by either a layer (si�bsoil) af stroi�g bro�vn (7.SYR 4/b} sandy clay loam that extends at least 60 em (ca. 24 in) belo�v the surface or a hydric black (lOYR 2/1} loam. Tl�e sandy clay laam is present ir� the weste�•n STP, rvhile the black hydric soil is to the east. The presence of the hydric soil belaw tl�e plo�vzoi�e most likely represents a formcr �vct arca tl�at has been fillcd iu. No cultural mate�•ial �vas recovei•ed from either of tlie STFs. Siiavel tests were not pIaced no�•th of !hc road since this area consists of fill or h�s been subject to hcAvy soil erosion (see �'igure 6), The "h� AA T!()Y.fL RSf,lST6R ELIG111LE OR LISTi'D a12ClfdEDLCJGICAL SITL�t PRESF+YT p!i AFFF.CTF.fJ jorn� jor,1lnror Tnr�iipanatfan Prv�fs us Qua�ifrcd in Ure 1007 f'rogrunr��mrlr .fgrtewina. 3of10 Projeci Tratking A'o.: 14-Q2-[1020 eroded loc slope to the far narth��est was sut'f�ce inspected as ground visibility was at ?S to 8p percent.
