Artifact Database, Omussee Creek Arbitrary (1HO27) 1982 and 1984

Summary

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Mobile District archaeological collections were sent to the Veterans Curation Program’s (VCP) Augusta, Georgia laboratory in the fall of 2009. The Augusta VCP laboratory is a USACE, St. Louis District’s Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections project, which is staffed through Brockington and Associates, an archaeological contract firm located in Norcross, Georgia. After 22 September 2011, the collection was transferred to the Charleston, SC branch of Brockington and Associates, and processing was completed by Laboratory Technician Anna Green and Laboratory Supervisor Blair Stec.

In the re-housing process of each investigative effort of the USACE, Mobile District collection, the same standard procedures, including University of Georgia (UGA), Laboratory of Archaeology, Athens, Georgia guidelines, were followed. Upon completion of the curation management project, the collection will be sent to the UGA Laboratory of Archaeology for permanent curation. Additional information regarding these collections can be found in the Omussee Creek (1HO27) 1982 and 1984 archives collection, which is currently housed at the UGA Laboratory of Archaeology in Athens, Georgia.

The procedures employed by the Augusta VCP to rehouse the archaeological material from the Omussee Creek Arbitrary (1HO27) 1982 and 1984 investigation are discussed in the Artifact Report. The report can be found in tDAR at https://core.tdar.org/document/426826.
