As a result of federal mandates for cultural resource investigation, more archaeological work has been undertaken there, beginning in the 1970's, than has occurred at any other comparably sized area in Louisiana or at most other localities in the southeastern United States. The extensive program of survey, excavation, testing, and large-scale data and artifact recovery, as well as historic and archival research, has yielded a massive amount of information.
