Big Bangs and Little Bangs Mounds (12HU25 and 12HU26) 1964
Part of: US Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District VCP
The USACE, Louisville District obtained this collection through an archaeological test excavation at the Huntington Reservoir Project in 1964. Indiana University’s GBL was contracted to perform the fieldwork. Three mounds were excavated in the Huntington Reservoir on the Upper Wabash River, Huntington, Indiana. One was a small remnant of a mound (12HU27); the other two were semi-conical mounds (12HU25 and 12HU26) which did not contain burials. Of the three mounds located in the initial survey, only two (12HU25 and 12HU26) were of archaeological significance and excavated during the Phase II. The third and smallest mound (12HU27) had evidently been removed almost entirely at an earlier date (Gerald 1964). The county symbol employed is HU for Huntington County. All artifacts were obtained from the Big Bangs and Little Bangs Mounds investigation, Indiana sites 12HU25 and 12HU26.
The digital materials in this collection were processed by the Veterans Curation Program (VCP), and include the artifact database, select artifact photographs, artifact report, finding aid, investigation report, and scanned asset key. Additional digital materials held by the VCP include additional artifact photographs, box inventories, card stock inserts, document folder listing, GBL artifact catalog, and a GBL artifact inventory.
