Published
by the University of Kentucky, this work is a comprehensive
listing of over 1,200 archaeological sites of the Bluegrass state
encompassing mounds, villages, burials, shell heaps, etc.
This survey locates and briefly
describes a total of one thousand, two hundred and fifty-five individual
prehistoric sites in Kentucky. In some cases several types of individual remains
are to be found on a single site. For the purpose of this summary, each type of
individual remains has been counted separately. Thus if a site contained a
village, a mound and a cemetery, these have been listed under separate heads.
The various types of archaeological remains and the number of each which have
been located are as follows:
Mounds (earth)
Mounds (shell)
Earthworks and fortifications
Camp and village sites
Cemeteries
Rock shelters
Caves (inhabited)
Springs and licks
Workshops and quarry sites
