description: Phase II Site Evaluations for five previously identified sites 28BU524, 28BU534, 28BU535, 28BU674, and 28BU679. Site 28BU674 is considered ineligible for listing on the NRHP. Evaluation of the Stackhouse Hotel/H-9 site (28BU524) identified two distinct domestic deposits relating to the Stackhouse (Locus 1) and Keeler (Locus 2) properties. Locus 1, chiefly pre-dates the hotel’s (pre-1840) operations and are indicative of a domestic site centered within an early crossroad community. Deposits identified within Locus 2 date to the later portion of the nineteenth century. 28BU524 is considered eligible for listing on the NRHP under Criterion D. Sites 28BU534 and 28BU535 have resulted in the interpretation that both sites, in conjunction with Site 28BU533, are part of a larger occupation affiliated with the Archaic and Woodland periods and suggestive of distinct activity areas. Site 28BU534 contains intact deposits represented by a possible occupation surface, numerous precontact and early historic period artifacts, including a piece of worked olive glass, Native American tobacco pipe fragments, maize fragments, and a radiocarbon assay dating to the Contact period. Sites 28BU534 and 28BU535 are considered eligible for listing on the NRHP under Criterion D.
