• A portion of the 1700 acre wetland mitigation bank was surveyed based on research design by Price (2013). The two 40 acre homestead parcels identified in Price (2013) were surveyed in addition to other areas identified during consultation.
• Site 22HA748 and 22HA749 represents the home of Tocala Yarba [sic] which was ground truthed as a result of this survey.
o 1,681 shovel tests were excavated within this 40 acres, with 17 positive for cultural material.
o The assemblage was divided spatially into three areas, which were not necessarily interpreted as activity areas, but possibly.
o The assemblage included various whitewares, container glass, stoneware, and machine cut nails, as well as debitage and grog tempered pottery, and possibly fired clay from a hearth (Area C/22HA749).
• The homestead patents of Yarba and Lott were tested at 10 m and 30 m intervals, respectively, along with small APEs identified by Price (2013) as areas of potential interest.
• 22HA748 was recommended as ineligible, but that the site be avoided due to the potential for human interments.
• 22HA749 was also recommended as ineligible, and no further work was warranted.
