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.

Mitigation of approximately 25% of sites 12-Ca-234 and 12-Ca-236 to be destroyed by the widening of U.S. 24/35 near Logansport, Indiana, identified a light to moderate multi­-component lithic scatter. Occupation at the site ranged from the Middle/Late Archaic through the Late Woodland. Excavation data suggests that the two sites were used as short term, small group camp sites. Information on seasonality and subsistence practices are not available because of either poor preservation or a general...
