Fort St. Joseph is a 17th-18th century French (and later English) mission-garrison-trading post complex located in southwest Michigan. A geophysical survey was performed and the results of the survey were tested through archaeological excavation. The geophysical methods included ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic induction, electrical resistivity, magnetic gradiometry, and magnetic susceptibility. The results of the archaeological excavations demonstrate that magnetic gradiometry was the...

In 1983, Ball State University submitted a draft proposal to the Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources for a Department of the Interior Survey and Planning Grant. The proposal requested funds to formulate an ethnohistoric study unit for the Miami Indian occupation of the Upper Wabash drainage in central Indiana. The proposed project was to be carried out by William R. Wepler in four stages: study unit construction, background research,...

This report is focused on the occupation and utilization of the Upper Wabash drainage by the Miami during the period beginning with the contact of the Europeans (ca. 1650) and ending with the participation of the last tribally owned lands within the state of Indiana in 1873; the primary focus of the project is on the era between 1795 and 1881. This project is a direct outgrowth of several ethnohistorical and archaeological studies conducted within the Upper Wabash drainage in recent years....

From 1991 to 1994, Tonto National Forest (TNF) and SWCA., Inc., Environmental Consultants conducted four cultural resource surveys near Globe, Arizona for Guzman Construction in preparation for a proposed land exchange involving TNF-administered lands. This document summarizes the findings of that series of surveys. Specifically, it compiles data presented in three survey reports prepared by SWCA (Ahlstrom 1993, 1994; Ahlstrom and Euler 1991; SWCA 1992). The surveys described in these reports...

With a few exceptions, the archaeology of the northern two-thirds of the state of Indiana has been ignored or poorly reported. Most of the work that has been carried out in the northern and central portions of the state has been directed toward the more sensational sites, such as mounds and earthworks. However, many more typical sites have been reported over the past several years due to cultural resources management projects. Most of these sites, many of which have been recorded just ahead of...

Archaeological testing at the former location of the Richardville/LaFontaine House recovered 30,000+ historic and prehistoric artifacts and determined that the portion of the site area tested was disturbed. A mean ceramic date of 1891.1 was established for the site and intersite artifact patterning was completed. The artifact patterning confirmed the domestic nature of the site.
