Report of an Archeological Reconnaissance, Northeast Boundary, George Rogers Clark National Historic Park

Author(s): Bret Ruby

Year: 1997

Summary

In August 1997, the National Park Service proposed actions necessary to maintain the designed historic landscape at George Rogers Clark National Historical Park in Vincennes, Knox County, Indiana. The proposed work involved the removal and replacement in kind of existing overgrown vegetation within a 70 m by 20 m tract along the northeast boundary of the park. Because this work involved minor ground disturbance, the National Park Service first conducted an archeological recom1aissance to determine if historic properties potentially eligible for inclusion in the State or National Registers of Historic Places are present in the area. The results of the reconnaissance are used herein to formulate a determination of effect for the landscape restoration work in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470, 36 CFR 800).
