The Veterans Curation Program utilizes the standard archival practice of unique naming of collections. The purpose of this practice is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as “Lafayette Lake 1977.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is two and a half linear inches. Lafayette Lake 1977 was contained...

PROJECT Uploaded by: Christine Thompson

The Archaeological Resources Management Service constructed a study unit for the Paleo-Indian and Early Archaic periods for the Upper Wabash drainage of central Indiana. This project was to be carried out through a review of previously documented sites and artifacts from the region and through a field survey focused on testing a model for Paleo-Indian site location common in the Ohio drainage basin. During the project, 175 Paleo-Indian and 171 Early Archaic artifacts were documented in the Upper...

This report elaborates on and essentially confirms the findings, conclusions, and recommendations stated in the interim report (Cochran 1979). Significant archaeological remains exist in the portion of construction area A south of the park entrance road, south and west of the pavilion, and in the eastern portion of area E, in all of which construction should be avoided. In addition construction of the pool in area C poses a threat of serious secondary impacts on the neighboring earthwork group,...

This paper aims to examine the evidence of actual Delaware occupancy within the state of Indiana and compare its extent with those lands claimed by the Delaware in 1779. Which areas of Delaware claim were actually utilized, and which areas of the state not claimed by Delaware did they utilize? Occupancy and use will be the primary focus of this report rather than the validity of the 1779 claim.

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...
