In August 1991, an archeological shovel test survey was conducted at the Campus of the Earthlore Environmental Education Center (EEC) in Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area (CUVA) in response to proposed large-scale development construction. No archeological investigations had been done in the construction zone prior to this survey. A total of 443 shovel tests in 11.8 acres of the Campus resulted in the identification of 2 prehistoric sites and 1 multicomponent prehistoric and historic site. Management recommendations are to avoid these resources if possible. Those threatened by planned construction should be further tested to ascertain their integrity, scientific significance, interpretive potential and/or stabilization and conservation needs, and determine their eligibility for nomination to the National Register.
