Duncan Island (36LA60,61)

Duncan Island (36LA60,61) refers to a documented archaeological site, or possibly sites, located in Louisiana. The alphanumeric designation "36LA60,61" is a trinomial system used by archaeologists and state historic preservation offices to identify specific sites. The "36" likely refers to the state of Louisiana. "LA" further confirms this. The numbers "60" and "61" are unique identifiers assigned sequentially as sites are recorded within the state. The presence of two numbers, "60,61", suggests that either the site extends across an area that has been divided into two designated areas, or that there are two distinct but closely located archaeological sites. Further investigation of Louisiana's archaeological site records or reports related to Louisiana archaeology would be necessary to determine the specific nature and history of the Duncan Island site(s), including information regarding its cultural affiliation, time period of occupation, and the types of artifacts recovered. Common archaeological survey techniques and excavation may have been employed at the site.
