Investigations were conducted along the Cumberland River in Tennessee and Kentucky including Lake Cumberland, Old Hickory Lake, Cheatham Lake, and Lake Barkley. Fieldwork included survey (pedestrian, shoreline, and shovel test), site assessments, site stabilizations, reconnaissance, mapping, and geophysical survey (GPR and magnetometer). Archival research was conducted on all historic resources. A total of 1,347 acres was examined. Investigations identified 10 previously recorded sites, 21 newly identified sites, and 10 isolates. Prehistoric components included artifact scatters, campsites, villages, and stone box cemeteries. Historic sites included artifact scatters, farmsteads, cemeteries, a town, a corral, and a Civil War artillery battery.
