ROI126, Fort Recovery Precontact Artifact Collection and Creation of The Digital Precontact Experience

Summary

This is the tDAR Project page that represents Reports of Investigation 126 from the Applied Anthropology Laboratories, Ball State University.

This project created The Digital Precontact Experience, an online multimedia StoryMap that highlights the Fort Recovery Historical Society’s (FRHS) precontact artifact collection housed in the Fort Recovery State Museum (FRSM).Archaeologists and students at Ball State University Applied Anthropology Laboratories (BSU AAL) developed the StoryMap, compiled the content, and 3D scanned, processed, and photographed 101 artifacts from the FRHS precontact artifact collection. This Story Map furthers the education and interpretation of this battlefield through the use of technology and interactive maps. It provides a humanities-based battlefield interpretation when the FRSM is not open or for those interested in the battles but cannot visit the battlefield.
