In April 1995, Daniel Boone National Forest archaeologists excavated at the Burnt Road Site in southwestern Jackson County. They carried out this research because an arsonist had destroyed another part of the site. He had set fire to a protective rubber matting the Forest Service had placed over a section of a road that extended through the site. The information presented in this booklet draws on the results of research at this site and the decades of archaeological research that the Daniel Boone National Forest has carried out and supported.
