A Phase II site evaluation of 15MM188 was performed for Jemstar Properties at the request of the Kentucky State Historic Preservation Office after the intensive Phase I survey produced an abundance of artifacts but none that were helpful for dating the site, as well as a number of burned stone artifacts that suggested hearths, or other “thermal features,” might be present. Because of the potential for sources of important information may yet remain, test excavations were conducted to expose them and recover artifacts to help shed light on the pre-contact Native American cultures that occupied the site. Excavation did not produce artifacts associated with known Native American cultures, nor were any features found. In fact, excavations showed that the site was so heavily and deeply plowed that no intact soils above the clay remain, and so badly damaged that it is not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historical Places. This finding allowed our client to proceed with construction. While we didn’t find “cool” spearpoints or arrowheads, we did find small flake tools or “utilized flakes.” These were used for a short time and discarded once the task they were selected for was completed. Inspection under a microscope revealed chipping and scratches indicating most were used for scraping medium to hard materials like green and seasoned wood and bone. A few were used in cutting and slicing soft materials like green vegetation, fresh hides, and meat.
