D . 1400) house , as well as excavation into the late Archaic (ca . 1500 B . C . ) occupation zone . Trail of Tears David Moore is also working closely with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the North Carolina Chapter of the Trail of Tears Association . This state-organized group is working to document the historic sites associated with the Trail of Tears so that they can be included on the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail . This project became necessary when the National Park Service established the National Historic Trail without including any sites or portions of the trail within the state of North Carolina, The Trail of Tears project will document more than 120 sites in six western North Carolina counties , including the removal forts , the home sites of individual families who were forcibly removed, and extant portions of the original- trails and roads used by the U . S . Army to march the Cherokee people away from their mountain homelands .. A highway marker program and guidebook will be developed to interpret the cultural landscape of the Removal Era Cherokee communities in North Carolina. - David G.
