ROI029, Independence: A Multicomponent Site in the Middle Wabash Drainage, Warren County, Indiana

Summary

Excavation of a 10.8% sample of the portion of the Independence site that will be destroyed through construction of a bridge over the Wabash River between Fountain and Warren Counties, Indiana revealed that the site had been disturbed through cultivation, erosion and bioturbation. In spite of the disturbance, data recovered during excavation revealed that occupation of the site spanned a 10,000 year period, was short term, and probably seasonal. Since informants reported that the site has not been in cultivation in their memory, the recovered data has has been interpreted as demonstrating the complexity of sites in similar occupational histories.
