PDR Archaeological Survey and Evaluation of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant Cooling Lake Reservoir Trawick Ward Archaeologist Prepared By Research Laboratories of Anthropology The University of North Carolina at Chapel 4
Hill January 1978
. ABSTRACT An archaeological survey was made of the Shearon Harris cooling lake reservoir site in Chatham and Wake counties. One historic and several prehistoric sites were located within or ad)acent to the impoundment area. The vast ma)ority of these were occupied during the Archaic Period, although some evidence of later occupations was also encountered. The sites were small, badly disturbed, and lacked the potential for adding significantly to our knowledge of North Carolina history.

- At the request of the Caxolina Powex 'and Light Company,=- the Research
'aboratories of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, conducted an archaeological survey of the proposed Shearon Harris Nuclear Power. Plant cooling lake reservoir. The pro)ect site is located in eastern Chatham and southwestern Wake counties near the community of I
Merry Oaks. The main dam is being constructed I
on Buckhorn Creek less I
than a mile south of its confluence wi'th White Oak Creek. Xn addition to these streams, the impoundment will flood. land al'ong several tribu-taries including Tom Jack Creek, Little White Oak. Creek, and Thomas Creek.
With a surface pool elevation of 220', the lake will- innundate some 4,000 acres.
A small arm of the reservoir, )ust north of the confluence of .White Oak and Buckhorn creeks, has been cleared of primary growth, and a. few small cultivated fields are scattered about. Otherwise, the area is
\
almost entirely undeveloped with at least 95. percent standing in forest.
Where clearing has.been completed, a tangle of brush, briers, and grass covers the. surface. At the time of the survey (late fall), the few fields lay fallow, thinly covered with the stubble of the summer's harvest. How-ever, stands of mixed hardwoods, intezspexsed with'n occasional pine thicket, 'ominate the environmental scene.
Moderate to steep'bluffs flank both sides of the ma)or streams, being more pronounced along their. lower reaches. A well-defined ridge sepaxates Buckhorn and White Oak creeks and enhances the slope of the
bluffs paralleling the east bank of White Oak Creek. The flood plains are generally low, and poorly drained, particularly in the, area where the-
'I .
~
'I two creeks 'come together.
The proposed- reservoir area presents"a view typical, of the Piedmont t
environment as encountered along most, of the secondary streams. Although
-. direct evidence is lacking, in all probability; it does not differ radically today from'the. envixonment exploited. by peoples. during most of '
~
~
the prehistoric period. A rich. variety of wild plant and.ani'mal resources .
could have been exploited,. whereas agricultural pursuits would not have
=: proven overly productive. This latter weakness in the'nvironment is evident I
today by the virtual absence of cultivated land.

The proposed reservoir area can be divided into three distinct environmental strata: 1) the relatively steep bluffs along Buckhorn Creek and the eastern bank of White Oak Creek (Plate X); 2) the more rounded, undulating slopes along the smaller tributaries and the western'bank of White Oak Creek (Plate XX); and 3) the low, almost swampy, bottoms comprising the flood plains (Plate XXX). Although these stxata were almost completely enshrouded by vegetation, a complex web of logging xoads and farm trails allowed access and provided tran-sects with good surface visibility. Also, extensive sheet erosion along t the bluffs had appraisal.
'ites in the any other areas sufficiently impoundment, bared large areas to permit a surface After determining that the're all were no known roads~
with the slightest historic or prehistoric trails, erosional'eatures, amount of surface and visibility were investigated on foot. This strategy provided a look at a cross section of the vaxious environmental zones and aided in determining the most likely locations- to suspect sites. Based on these results, as well as prior experience in similar environmental settings, it was found that most of the sites were restricted to the relatively flat terraces rimming the more pronounced bluffs (Plate IV). Zn these areas, if ground cover prevented an adequate surface inspection, large patches were raked clear in an attempt to reveal any concealed ax'tifact clusters.
0 Thirty-six prehistoric and one historic site were discovered during the course of the survey. .Evidence for these sites ranged from a- few flakes with indeterminate spacial and temporal parameters to moderate concentrations of artifacts, including diagnostic tools,,
clustered within fairly tight, well; defined areas.

THE SETES Ch 333. This site was located on a siiahi rise west of'uchhorn Creek and north of SR l915.: Because of the removal of primary growth, the, site area was covered by. a moderately dense tangle of briers and ':
Artifacts. were sporadically recovered from an. area approximately. 'rush; 75,,'y'30>. Encluded in the inventory were one plain and one fabric- '
~
I impressed,'sand tempered sherd, a. bifacially worked chopping tool',.
fifteen slate flakes', and. six quartz chips. The sherds probably date to the Early woodland Peri'od (ca. A.D 100) although their small, size
.and'eteriorated condition prevented' positive identification.
Theithic collection did not contain. any specimens with age<<diagnostic attributes.
. ~
Chw334. Across the 'crash fran,Ch 333, on the east: side of 3R 1915@'nother small site was located. The ground surface-was obscur'ed by briers and tall grass, but twelve slate and, s
five 'quartz'flakes were gleaned from an- area:approximately thirty- feet in diameter. None of the flakes evidenced secondary modification..
Ch 335., This was one of several sites found around the t.errace of a bluff. flanking %cite Osk Creek, north of its'onfluence with Buckhorn Creek. Four sites, Ch 335, Ch 336, Ch 337, and Ch,338', probably represent the same occupation,'ut since the specimens were found in isolated spots, separate numbers were assigned in order to mai'ntain their spacial integrity. En this area, all the trees had been cut and removed, but surface vi.sibility was generally poor because of secondary vegetation.
However, patches bared by, erosion were frequently encountered. En one of these a quartz scraper and one flake were found and designated Ch v335.

quartz flakes and one small .:herd were found within an area approximately 2009 by 200f e The sherd was sand tempered, but surface treatment could not be determined because of its poor state of preservation.
Ch 341; This. site was located in an old. field south of SR 1914 between White Oak and Buckhoen creeks. One quartz biface,- five quartz
~
- flakes, and:two slate chips were collected from the entire field: which was a little, less than an. acre in extent
~
Ch 343. 'even slate and four quartz flakes were found along a a
logging. road off SR- 1914, north of Buckhorn Creek. The si.te. was located ag the edge of the proposed reservoir on the. southern slope of 'a bluff s ~
paralleling the creek. A stand of pine and mixed hardwoods lined the road and.created unfavorable coLlecting conditions. The few specimens that were visible were .scattered along: the ruts of.'the. road over'a e
distance of about 75'.
Chv343:. 'lhis. site was, discovered in a cleariag, south of a sawdust pile between SR 1914 and Buckhorn Creek.

.'Ch V348. This site was found't the e.nd of a logging road that intersects SR 1914 .15 mile southwest of the Wake County line- Specimens
-were widely scattered along the slope of a ravine. for a distance of
,roughly 2009. Because, of heavy ground cover, artifacts were found only in the ruts of the logging trail and in a small -clearing at the end of trail. Xncluded in the inventory were a Randolph projectile point (Plate V), sixteen quartz and three slate flakes. The Randolph point is an index of the Historic Period (Ca. A.D. 1700).
Ch 349. A small'mount of lithic material wss found along a terrace west of an'nnamed beanch of White Osk Creek. Two quartz flakes and four slate chips- were restricted to an area roughly 90'n cir-cumference. The site was north of a logging road that intersects
13 SR 1912 from the west and 600'outh of the SR 191~ and SR 1913 inter'-
section. Although the site area had grown up in- beush and briers, e
'. surface visibility was moderately good because of. aeavy sheet erosion.

This was a large site with dimensions measuring sone 3003 by 100' s
.Since the ground surface was covered by brush and grass, visibility. I f s the thickness of the v'egetative.-

of the bluff some 650< east of Ch 352.: 'Although the mater'ial-was con-s
. centrated in-an area approximately 100'y'0',, it. is likely that this site represents. the. eastern extremity of Ch. 352. The heavy. ground cover .
that. obscured the area between the.two sites was probably responsible for an arbitrary division. However, severe. erosion. in the vicinity of Ch 353 provided moderate; surface visibility and s permitted the discovery of, one unifacial scraper, 42 slate and 16 quartz flakes. , Although no diagnostic tools were found, the debitage, was reminiscent of the Late Archaic and very similar to that from Chv352; Ch 35d.

28 unmodified flakes, all manufactux'ed from slaty materials. In ..'
addition, a small'nd scraper'nd six,flakes were produced from.quart'z.
The projectile points date the site to the Middle Archaic Period ~
(3400 B.C.).
v186. This site We was located at the east end of a large field in the flood- plain 'of Buckhorn Creek. The ground surface was clear, providing optimum collecting conditions. However, only eight slate and three quartz flakes were gleaned from an area roughly. fifty. feet in:
diameter.
K Wa: 187. This site was located west of Wa 186 in the same field, and it was very similar in texms of size and content. Only. one slate flake, a quartz biface fragment, and three quartz Nips were recovered.
s these specimens were spaxsely dispersed over an area approximately 40'
16 Wav188. A small site was found on a prominent risc in the flood plain 'across Buckhorn Creek from Va 184. -Although the -topography, .
defined an ideal locati'on for a substantial Archaic occupation, only '
biface, .three quartz and four slate flakes wer'e recove'red; Surface visibility was excellent, and site dimensions measured 50'y 35'.
h Wa 189-. historic site designation A was 8'iven to.the remains. of
',a dam and grist, mill. complex situated on Buckhorn Creek )ust off SR 1116.

tween. the two was also present.; The dam,.was .still intact except for a.
r section at the southwestern..end'.that had.. been'perforated, to permit the -.
channel to lflow freely (Plate VI) The mill house was. evidenced by concrete steps, foundation piers, fragments of the r
mill stone, 'r and ar.
section of concrete facade (Plate VII)- '.The:complex appears to date. to the early part of this- century and was in,use until.fairly'recently. 'It is located )ust on the edge o'f the proposed reservoir pool.
Wav190; An Early Woodland (500 B.0..),. projectile. point was found in r
the west central. section of a farily large field off the west si'de of SR 1127, gust south of White Oak Creek (Plate V). Although the. ground surface exhibited excellent- visibility, no 'other specimens could be found.
Wa 191; Another site repres.ented by one.specim.en, a bifacially worked" quartz scraper, was located on a natural'levee adjacent to the south bank of White Oak Creek in the vicinity of Hvllemans Crossroads.=
Again the surface was clear,. but additional specimens were not forth; coming..
Wa 192. Only two artifacts "were found at thi- site. located in the southwestern corner of a field between Thomas Creej and Little White. Oak .

20 DISCUSSION The data, collected from the survey conforms generally with the known pattern of occupation and settlement in the North Carolina Piedmont. '-
Most of'the sites with temporally diagros'tic specimens wer>>
occupied during the Archaic Period. Although the. ma)ority. fai.led to yield distinctive. types, the absence of ceramics, the stone working
. technology evidenced by. the debitage, and the sizz.and. overall con-.-
to'n VI figuration of these s'ites also points Archai'c affiliation.

)
A11 of th'e sites, Woodland as well as Archaic, were apparently o'ccupied for relatively brief intervals. With the exception of the few sites represented by, a single specimen, all were probably temporary encampments'ith some of the larger sites perhaps being inhabited'.,
L sporadically, over an extended time: span . This.was certainly. true for Wa 197. " 3he isolated'rtifacts. at Wa 190 and Wa 196, as well as some of the other sites defined by extremely'mall. numbers of specimens, were results 'of. idiosyncratic or,. fortuitous behavioral expressions
\
whose explanation can, only be imagined.
'Although there were considerable differences in si,te. size and some variation in topographic orientation, it is felt that, in many instances, these di.stinctions are misleading and encourage a false impression of past-reality.. Differences in erosion, variations in ground cover, plowing history, and a myriad complex of other agents and forces have impacted and interacted with the cultural materials since their deposition.
The result of all this has been the creation of considerable non-cultural
21 interpretations can be posited with a reasonable assurance of validity.
One thing that does appear certain, however, is that the. area was most extensively occupied and utilized by Middle and Late Archaic peoples.
From previous experience, we know these migratory bands of hunters and gathers exploited the full range of natural resources available and, in doing so, left a reticular-trail throughout North Carolina and'he Southeast generally.
