The two new sites are related to an early 20th century sawmill and its ancillary buildings. Both sites were heavily disturbed by modem development such as construction, land leveling and logging, as well as Hurricane Katrina and subsequent debris removal. However, an extant charcoal kiln dating the late 1800s-early 1900s and another unidentified circular structure near the standing kiln were still present within the boundary of the sawmill site. The site associated with the standing kiln was recommended as eligible to the NRHP. The second site was likely made up of redeposited artifacts from the former site, therefore, it was recommended as ineligible to the NRHP.

Fieldwork at two'of the previously recorded ^ites recovered a limited number of historic artifacts.
However, these sites could not be completely evaluated because of restricted access. Following
previous investigations, the status of the sites remained ineligible and potentially eligible to the
VNRHP7'\ \
\ \
Two of the previously, known sites had never been evaluated for the NRHP. Investigations \ concluded that one'site'consists of an extremely limited 19th century historic scatter. FEMA was unable to completely delineate and assess the site because of the extremely wet conditions. Therefore, this site is recommended as potentially eligible to the NRHP. The other site could not be tested in the course of this survey because it was inundated by the floodwaters of the Jourdan River and anadjacent oxbow lake, the site remains unevaluated for the NRHP.
Waveland ^
Finally, archaeologists completed fieldwork in two of the three proposed survey areas in Waveland. Investigations centered on the locally famous ‘Old Pirate House,’ reports of a Mexican American War encampment and reports of an American Indian mound site.
