TNSDS Project Archaeologist Walker Burgett, MA, and college intern Mason Stepp from Western Carolina University carried out an aerial reconnaissance using a drone at the Johnson River Bridge, located along the Alaska Highway, just south of Delta Junction. TNSDS has been utilizing drones to help identify archaeological sites and areas of high potential for encountering cultural resources. This aerial reconnaissance will provide guidance to a team of archaeologists who will be conducting a pedestrian archaeological survey this summer season to identify and evaluate a historic district associated with the construction of the bridge during World War II.
