Name/Title
Crooked Creek North: 46LG215, Archaeological SiteEntry/Object ID
CCN2.46LG215.06Description
Eight (8) casings, representing three calibers. This site, CCN2, was later collapsed into one site with CCN1. Analysis of the total collection indicates a range of calibers that suggests a long-range fire position was established here as a defensive site.Context
"This site is situated on the southeast-facing slope of a hill just to the north of 46LG211, and north-northwest of Crooked Creek Gap. It is about 65 by 25 meters in size and is bisected by a gas access road. Compared to 46LG211, it has a low intensity of artifacts, 21 in total. With the exception of the three .22 High Power casings, the weapons indicated are relatively short range. A total of three spent bullets indicates incoming shells, a relatively high percentage of the total artifacts. As mentioned above, this site faces the same Craddock Fork tributary as several other sites including 46LG211."
