Summary

As requested by Boyd E. Phelps, Inc,, an archaeological field reconnaissance has been completed for six Department of Natural Resources projects on the Mississinewa, Salamonie, and Huntington Reservoirs in Miami, Wabash and Huntington Counties, Indiana.

Of the six project areas that were surveyed, four contained evidence of prehistoric occupation and two, E15-702B and E15-702F, did not.

Although evidence of prehistoric occupation was found in four of the six project areas, only one site appears to retain much potential for recovering significant archaeological information.
