ABSTRACT
The Battle of New Orleans occurred on January. It was the last major battle of the War of 1812 and was fought after the treaty that ended the war took effect. At Chalmette, a force consisting of regular army troops, militia, pirates, free men of color, and Native Americans defeated a professional British army. Andrew Jackson showed his strategic vision during the defense of New Orleans by checking each British maneuver. Systematic archaeological collection on battlefields is a recent phenomenon. The majority of the historic battles that have taken place on the North American continent produced an abundance of metal artifacts, most often in the form of small-caliber lead projectiles and larger iron projectiles. Although the spatial distribution of artifacts on the landscape was clearly shown in the location and standard deviation (SD) maps, these two types of mapping only allow the observer to make intuitive judgments about the intensity of the battle in selected areas.
