Recent archaeological surveys of portions of Fox Island County Park near Fort Wayne, Indiana, revealed the locations of 16 archaeological sites. This study was undertaken to explore the factors affecting site selection and to analyze the artifacts and investigate lithic procurement and reduction strategies as reflected by them. Further, an attempt was made to understand Fox Island's role in the prehistoric subsistence settlement system. The sites appear to have been selected because of the...

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...

A survey of the Newport Army Ammunition Plant, utilizing a 10.8 percent stratified sample, revealed 144 sites for the plant property and predicted between 1200 and 1500 others. Of the 144 sites found, only ten appeared to have any potential for meeting National Register criteria for significance. Prior to the survey, a predictive model of land use representing activities potentially carried out by aboriginal inhabitants of the area was devised, taking into consideration previous studies in...

Archaeological monitoring of earthmoving at the Commissary site, 12-Hn-2, revealed that the grading was adversely affecting archaeological resources that appear to be eligible for nomination to the State and National Registers of Historic Places. It was determined that further grading should be discontinued and that selective back-filling should be performed in order to preserve the remaining integrity of the site.

An archaeological field reconnaissance for a proposed industrial park north of Peru, Indiana, yielded evidence of five archaeological sites which may meet criteria for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. At least one of these sites has yielded evidence of occupation substantially (56") below the soil surface. Due to the unique physiographic setting of these sites, their potential for subsurface features, and current evidence of buried cultural deposits in the area, it has...
