Research Article Guidelines
Articles can be written as wiki pages, uploaded as files, or both. While this website is a wiki, this section is not intended to be encyclopedic. However, a wiki does allow for graphically intensive layouts, and supplemental data can be conveniently attached to the article. Articles within the Research category should contain some substantive research.
Articles should include the following information:
Title or Project Name
PI: Name and affiliation
For: Sponsoring agency or organization
County, District:
Watershed: Taken from a standardized list
Type of work: (e.g., site identification study, significance evaluation, data recovery, research paper)
Date of work:
Report 14C dates using the SAA standard format as uncalibrated radiocarbon ages: (1) based on the 5,568-year 14C ("Libby") half-life (divide radiocarbon ages based on the 5,730-year half-life by 1.03); (2) expressed as radiocarbon years (RCY), do not convert to radiocarbon or calibrated years A.D./B.C.; (3) with the 1-sigma standard error; (4) with the sample identification number given by the laboratory; (5) stating what material was dated; and (6) whether corrected for isotopic fractionation. If a 13C value was given by the laboratory, then this correction has been made, so provide the 13C value. Example: 3680 ± 60 (Pts-3964; wood charcoal; 13C = -23.8 [or, uncorrected].

Describes history of Army Corps of Engineers activity on the Kanawha River, and brief summary of results of excavations at sites impacted by recent improvements to three locks and dams. The cultural components at these sites included much of the prehistory and history of the Kanawha Valley from Late Paleo Indian to A. D. 1900. This paper discusses the data recovery results, preservation efforts and public archeology. |
