Near the nortliern edge of the site were found 3 Clarksville cord- 

 wrapped paddle sherds. It is surmised that the bulk of this cul- 

 tural material was secondarily deposited by stream action rather than 

 being deposited there by the Indians. 



HARRIS ISLAND II 

 (44ch3) 



Farther upstream, about a half mile on Harris Island, were the 

 remains of another small campsite, 44Ch3. The surface of this site, 

 like the one at the foot of the island, was generously covered with 

 chip scrap. Testing failed to reveal any features, but we did recover 

 10 jjotsherds from the plowed zone. These have been determined as 5 

 Clarksville cord- wrapped paddle and 5 Clarksville textile impressed. 



LITTLE RIVER 

 (4 4ch4) 



Seven hundred feet south of Clays Quarry and 1,000 feet north- 

 east of the confluence of Jeffreys Canal and Little River was a sizable 

 area given over mostly to workshop scrap, the results of stone chip- 

 ping, site 44Ch4. The area was closely gone over and as a result we 

 recovered fragments of two quartz projectile points. One is a medi- 

 um-sized stemmed fragment with the tip missing and the other is 

 only a fragment of the central portion of a point with both the butt 

 and tip missing. Both are thick in cross section and neither displays 

 any great degree of chipping skill. In our search we recovered 10 

 potsherds : 8 are textile-impressed and 2 are plain. Both are recog- 

 nizable wares of the Clarksville Series. 



TALLEYS SHOALS 

 (4 4Ch5) 



North of Jeffreys Canal and approximately 1 mile north of Tal- 

 leys Shoals in an old broomsage field were the remains of a small 

 village, site 44Ch5, which measured about 50 feet square. The heavy 

 coverage of the surface made collecting difficult. In testing the site 

 we recovered 20 potsherds from the underlying humus layer. These 

 have been separated into 1 Clarksville combed, 3 Clarksville plain, 

 and 16 Clarksville textile-impressed. From these same testings we 

 recovered a small clear quartz triangular point which was not only 

 very thin but very delicately fashioned. 



SITES IN NORTH CAROLINA PORTION OF THE 

 RESERVOIR BASIN 



We located one site in Warren County, 31Wal, and two sites in 

 Vance County, 31Val and 31Va2. All three were workshops.
