Project Statement of Work Cultural History of Charlie Vettiner Park Figure 3. Entrance to Charlie Vettiner Park. This cultural resources study entailed the following tasks: Conduct a records check at relevant state and local agencies to compile an inventory of known or recorded cultural resources, both archaeological and historic, within the project area; Review drawings, aerials, historical maps, documents, and local histories for information on potential archaeological site locations; Conduct site visits to perform simple visual inspections of the project areas to assess the degree of historic disturbances and the potential for encountering intact archaeological remains; Prepare prehistoric and historic contexts specific to the project areas within southeastern Jefferson County; Provide management recommendations relevant to the need for future archaeological and historic field studies, if any; and Identify potential avenues for public interpretation of the cultural resources of the property. In addition to providing narrative in summary form for the Master Plans, CIA prepared this expanded report detailing the cultural history of the project area. The report provides photo documentation of the project area and complete mapping of all known archaeological sites, previously surveyed areas, historic properties, and potentially sensitive archaeological areas. 4 | P a g e
Cultural History of Charlie Vettiner Park Information regarding the specific locations of archaeological sites must be withheld from versions of this report intended for public consumption. Findings As a result of this research, it was learned that no professional archaeological surveys have been conducted within the park boundaries. There are no archaeological sites within the park that have been recorded with the OSA. As a result of this investigation, however, it is considered there is a moderate to high potential for undiscovered prehistoric sites and high potential for historic archaeological sites to be present within some areas of the park. Three historic archaeological sites were documented to be present within the boundaries of the park; one other site also is suspected. Documented locations include three residences and associated outbuildings identified on historic maps. These locations can be identified by the stone foundations still visible on the ground surface and/or sunken depressions. No historic structures, however, currently remain on the property. Informant interviews suggested there may be a springhouse located near or in the fishing lake; field reconnaissance confirmed its location. One stone monument is also located on the property. This monument was emplaced in 1985 to honor the contributions Charlie Vettiner made to park and recreation development. In addition to these resources, one small family cemetery related to the Frederick, Stivers, and Shadburn families is enclosed by fencing along Charlie Vettiner Park Road. No traditional cultural property has been identified within the park boundaries.
