This report describes archaeological investigations at 27 prehistoric sites in the Clinton Lake Project Area, Douglas and Shawnee Counties, Kansas. The investigations were undertaken in order to determine the eligibility of the sites for the National Register of Historic Places. The results of the field and laboratory procedures have resulted in the following conclusions: The sites span at least the last 2000 to 3000 years of human history in the Wakarusa River basin, including the Late Archaic, Woodland, and Plains Village periods; soil- geomorphic investigations have outlined a model of valley landscape evolution which indicates some potential for buried Paleoindian, Early Archaic, and Middle Archaic sites; 25 of these sites do not possess sufficient cultural deposits and/or stratigraphic integrity to warrant consideration for the National Register of Historic Places; two sites contain cultural deposits of potential significance for understanding the Woodland and Plains Village periods in the study area
