ROI018, An Archaeological Survey of Jay County, Indiana

Author(s): Mary Lou James; Donald R. Cochran

Year: 1985

Summary

An archaeological survey of Jay County, Indiana, was conducted under a Department of the Interior Historic Preservation Fund Survey and Planning Grant administered by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology with matching funds supplied by Ball State University. The survey was undertaken to record the density of prehistoric sites and artifacts within the environmental zones present within the county. The survey covered 1,227 acres and recorded 323 sites, or an average density of one site for every 3.7 acres surveyed. Overall artifact densities were relatively low averaging 4 artifacts per acre surveyed. Site densities were not appreciably greater in the edge zones, but artifact densities were; the edge zones contained a mean of 25 artifacts per site while the other environmental zones contained a mean of only 8 artifacts per site. The survey also compared artifact class distributions and chert raw material associations to derive settlement pattern data relevant to the remainder of the region under investigation, the Upper Wabash River drainage basin.
