description: Report Abstract: 

This report presents the results of a preliminary archeological reconnaissance conducted at the Naval Ordnance Station on Cornwallis Neck, Indian Head, Charles County, Maryland. The survey resulted in the discovery of 45 archeological sites, ranging in time from the Early Archaic through to the Late Woodland/Contact period. In addition to these periods, three sites dated to the 19th Century and one to the 19th/20th Century . Testing was also conducted at 18CH71, a site that had been previously located on Bullitt Neck on the south bank of Mattawoman Creek. Four sites are considered as eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places (18CH252, 18CH263, 18CH264 and 18CH281), while the entire region of Bullitt Neck is considered as eligible as a prehistoric site district (18CH71, 18CH145, 18CH146, 18CH147 and 18CH254 ). 18CH281 is an important site, containing an occupation dating to the Late Woodland/Contact transition. Management recommendations are forwarded for other sites that might be eligible as well as for areas within the NOS that were not surveyed but potentially might contain archeological sites.
