image/jpeg - Description:
- This is a drawing of Overhill Cherokee winter and summer domestic structures. Excavations of Overhill Cherokee Villages were conducted by the University of Tennessee between 1967 and 1982 as part of the Tellico Archaeological Project. Excavations continued until 1983, and laboratory studies and report preparation continued until 1987. The excavations were conducted in anticipation of the flooding of the Lower Little Tennessee River Valley, in eastern Tennessee, by the Tellico Dam Reservoir and were conducted under contract with the National Park Service and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).
