Archaeological Survey Findings v
xv'	/
Archaeologists proposed work at 19 locationsin Hancock County, centered primarily in the
southeastern part of the county. Fieldwork took place at 15 of the 19 proposed survey areas. Lack
of access prevented work at three of thf locations and an inability to obtain remote sensing
equipment precluded work at another survey area. In addition, archaeologists conducted
•	background research and completed a report detailing the investigations for each of the 19 survey
areas. Findings at the survey areas were broad in scope, covering numerous types of prehistoric
and historic occupations in Hancock County.
Bay St. Louis
In Bay St: Louis;'archaeologists completed fieldwork in six of the eight proposed survey areas. Attempts were made to locate a reported early French Garrison, War of 1812 related encampments and magazines and an early hotel. Despite the lack of success recovering physical evidence of the early military and tourism history of the area, archaeologists recorded six new sites and revisited three previously recorded sites during fieldwork in Bay St. Louis.
