Archaeological Field Reconnaissance at Dora-New Holland Recreation Area 1979

Summary

Ball State University conducted an archaeological field reconnaissance for six Department of Natural Resources’ projects on the Mississinewa, Salamonie, and Huntington Reservoirs in Miami, Wabash and Huntington Counties, Indiana. The objective was to identify archaeological sites through a surface survey of each project area. The six projects included E- 15-702-B (Francis Slocum State Recreation Area), E-15-702C (Hogback Ridge), E-15-702D (Miami), E-15-702F (Dora-New Holland), E-15-702G (Little Turtle), and E-15-702J (Kilsoquah). The Dora-New Holland Recreation Area project was initiated due to proposed construction of a parking area, comfort station, and picnic area at the location. No evidence of prehistoric occupation was within the area. Thus, it was recommended that the project proceed without any further archaeological assessment (Cochran 1979).

The digital materials in this collection were processed by the Veterans Curation Program (VCP), and include the finding aid, oversized material database, and scanned asset key. Additional digital materials held by the VCP include a brochure and other documents pertaining to the curation of the collection. For additional information on these materials, refer to the Finding Aid.
