Between Two Levees: Archeological Testing and Evaluation of the National Register Eligibility of the Bayou Goula Landing Site, Iberville Parish, Louisiana.

An evaluation was made of the National Register eligibility of the Bayou Goula Landing site (16 IV 131) during October, 1985. Bankline survey and subsurface testing documented the nature and extent of cultural resources along the nearly one-mile length of the project area, and determined the influence of recent erosion on previously delineated resources within the area. Only cultural remains in Artifact Scatter 1 retained contextual integrity. Intensive auger testing and controlled excavations then were conducted in the Artifact Scatter 1 locale. Intact cultural deposits were identified; however, this deposit was extremely limited in extent. It was determined that the research potential of the Artifact Scatter 1 area is exhausted, and that the site is not eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.
