Clifty Creek 1969

Part of: US Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District VCP

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 “Clifty Creek 1969.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folder, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is one (1) linear inch.

The only original documentation from Clifty Creek Survey 1969 was the final report and some office paperwork. An additional record series, Catalog Records, was created to house the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology artifact catalog and inventory for this investigation. These two files were sent to the VCP electronically, printed on acid free paper, and housed with the associated documentation. Scanned asset numbers were not assigned, because the files were uploaded into the digital imaging database directly from the file sent by GBL.

The digital materials in this collection were processed by the Veterans Curation Program (VCP), and include the artifact report, artifact database, finding aid, original investigation report, and scanned asset key. Additional digital materials held by the VCP include the box inventory, card stock inserts, document folder listing, GBL artifact inventory, GBL catalog, and initial data collection. For additional information on these materials, refer to the Finding Aid.
