Archaeological Reconnaissance Survey for a Proposed Highway Construction Excess Waste Area, Knox County, Indiana
(Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University, 2002-06) Fishel, Devin W.; Pope, Melody K.
At the request of Rogers Group, Inc., the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University (GBL) conducted a Phase Ia archaeological reconnaissance survey for a proposed highway construction waste burial area in Knox County, Indiana. The proposed project area has been designated as Area 3 for discussion. The Area 3 project area is the third in a series of similar proposed project areas, the first two of which (Areas 1, 2) have been reported separately. The locations of Area 3 and the previous project areas can be seen in Figure 1. The boundaries of the project area were thoroughly and clearly marked with flagging tape by the client prior to survey. The project area has undergone extensive disturbances from grading and filling associated with previous use of the area as a disposal facility for modern refuse. The purposes of the survey were 1) to identify and document all of the cultural resources in the project area, 2) to evaluate any sites found with regard to their eligibility for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the Indiana Register of Historic Sites and Structures (IRHSS), and 3) to make recommendations for the protection of significant and potentially significant sites. Fieldwork was conducted June 6th, 2002 by GBL archaeologists Devin Fishel, Bob Adkins, and Sean Person. No cultural resources were discovered within the proposed project area. No further archaeological work is recommended. Cultural resource clearance is therefore recommended for the proposed highway construction waste burial area.

(Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University, 2002-06) Fishel, Devin W.; Pope, Melody K.
At the request of Rogers Group, Inc., the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University (GBL) conducted Phase Ia archaeological reconnaissance surveys for two proposed highway construction waste burial areas in Knox County, Indiana. The proposed project areas have been designated as Area 1 and Area 2 for discussion. The Area 1 project area is irregular in shape and measures approximately 55 meters (180') north-south at the widest point by 160 meters (525') east-west encompassing an area of approximately 1.3 acres (0.53 hectares). Areas 1 and 2 total approximately 2.7 acres (1.09 hectares). Approximately 0.5 acres were surveyed in Area 1. The remaining 0.8 acres were subjected to an overview due to the slope and level of disturbance. Approximately 0.8 acres were surveyed in Area 2. The remaining 0.6 acres were subjected to an overview due to the slope and level of disturbance. The purposes of the survey were 1) to identify and document all of the cultural resources in the project area, 2) to evaluate any sites found with regard to their eligibility for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the Indiana Register of Historic Sites and Structures (IRHSS), and 3) to make recommendations for the protection of significant and potentially significant sites. Fieldwork was conducted May 29th and 30th, 2002 by GBL archaeologists Devin Fishel and Bob Adkins. No cultural resources were discovered within the proposed project areas. No further archaeological work is recommended. Cultural resource clearance is therefore recommended for the two proposed highway construction waste burial areas.

Fieldwork was conducted on June 19, 2000 by GBL archaeologists Devin W. Fishel and Brian W. Troyer. Principal Investigator was Robert G. McCullough, PhD. No cultural materials were discovered within the proposed project area during the course of survey. Cultural resource clearance is therefore recommended for the proposed highway construction project impact area provided that all earth-moving activities are restricted to the currently delineated project area boundaries.
Archaeological Survey for the Proposed Addition of Travel Lanes on U. S. 35/22 from Goyer Road in Kokomo to Bridge over Wildcat Creek (Reservoir) in Greentown (Project: STP-153-3, Des. #9706380), Howard County, Indiana
(Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University, 2000-09) Fishel, Devin W.; Parish, Cindy K.
At the request of the Indiana Department of Transportation, the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University (GBL) conducted a Phase Ia archaeological reconnaissance survey for the proposed addition of travel lanes on U. S. 35/22 from Goyer Road in Kokomo to the bridge over Wildcat Creek (Reservoir) in Greentown, Howard County, Indiana. The project area consists of existing and additional permanent right-of-way along approximately 9906 meters (6.16 miles) of U.S. 35/22, and portions of intersecting roads. Approximately 5.6 hectares (14 acres) were surveyed. The purposes of survey were 1) to identify and document all of the cultural resources in the project area, 2) to evaluate any sites found with regard to their eligibility for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the Indiana Register of Historic Sites and Structures (IRHSS ), and 3) to make recommendations for the protection of significant and potentially significant sites within the project area. Fieldwork was conducted on July 28, 31, and August 8-9, 2000, by GBL archaeologists Devin W. Fishel, Cindy K. Parish, Amanda S. Roth, and Jeff G. Brown. Principal Investigator was Dr. Robert G. McCullough. One previously unrecorded prehistoric archaeological site (12 Ho 271) was discovered during survey. Site 12 Ho 271 is an isolated lithic find (flake) and is unlikely to yield information significant to the understanding of Indiana prehistory in the region. No additional archaeological investigation is recommended for the site. It is the opinion ofthe GBL that 12 Ho 271 is not eligible for inclusion on either the NRHP or the IRHSS. Per a request put forth by InDOT, the GBL conducted a preliminary evaluation of Structures #7 and # 18, which lie in close proximity to the proposed project area, in order to determine the presence of 19th century log cabin elements in the current structures. If either structure will be impacted by the currently proposed construction, each building should be thoroughly documented by quali:fied professional historical archaeologists prior to any impacts. The GBL observed the remains of a farmstead of indeterminate age located in the vicinity of, but not within, the eastern portion of the proposed project area. It is the opinion of the GBL that as long as the proposed construction is confined to the currently delineated right-of-way boundaries, the area will not be adversely affected.
Archaeological Survey For The Proposed Ironton 34 kV Substation and Tap Line, Martin County, Indiana
(Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University, 2000-07) Fishel, Devin W.
At the request of Hoosier Energy, the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University (GBL) conducted a Phase Ib archaeological intensive survey for the proposed Ironton 34 kV Substation and Tap Line in Martin County, Indiana. The impact area for the substation measures approximately 63 m x 63 m. Approximately 1.8 acres were surveyed. The purposes of survey were I) to identify and document all of the cultural resources in the project area, 2) to evaluate any sites found with regard to their eligibility for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the Indiana Register of Historic Sites and Structures (IRHSS), and 3) to make recommendations for the protection ofsignificant and potentially significant sites. Fieldwork was conducted July 11, 2000 by GBL archaeologists Devin W. Fishel and Mary E. Pirkl. One previously unrecorded site, 12 Mn 632, was discovered during survey. Site 12 Mn 632 appears to be a remnant of a larger site destroyed by earlier construction of C. R. 255 and does not appear likely to contain intact buried cultural deposits with the potential to contribute information significant to Indiana prehistory. Cultural resource clearance is therefore recommended for the proposed electrical utilities project provided that all earth-moving activities are restricted to the currently defined impact area boundaries.
Archaeological Survey For The Proposed Project STP-030-1, Wetland Mitigation Site - U.S. 150 over Beaver Creek at Shoals, Des. No. 9611880, Martin County, Indiana
(Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University, 2001-11) Fishel, Devin W.
At the request of the Indiana Department of Transportation, the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University (GBL) conducted a Phase Ia archaeological survey for the proposed Project STP-030-1, Wetland Mitigation Site - U.S. 150 over Beaver Creek at Shoals in Martin County, Indiana (Des. No. 9611880). The project area consists of a 1.05 hectare (2.6 acre) parcel of land and a 100 meter (328 foot) long access road 0.09 hectare (0.22 acre) in area. Approximately 1.14 hectares (2.82 acres) were surveyed. The purposes of survey were 1) to identify and document all of the cultural resources in the project area, 2) to evaluate any sites found with regard to their eligibility for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the Indiana Register of Historic Sites and Structures (IRHSS), and 3) to make recommendations for the protection of significant and potentially significant sites. Fieldwork was conducted November 14, 2001 by GBL archaeologists Devin Fishel, Sean Person, Krista Jordan, and Nicole Palmer. One previously unrecorded site, 12 Mn 642, was discovered during survey. Site 12 Mn 642 is an isolated find consisting of two chert flakes recovered from a single shovel probe. No evidence of buried A horizons were evident in soil profile (Table 2). Given the small size of site 12 Mn 642, and the lack of evidence for buried soils, it does not appear likely to contain intact buried cultural deposits with the potential to contribute information significant to Indiana prehistory. Cultural resource clearance is therefore recommended for the proposed wetland replacement project provided that all earth-moving activities are restricted to the currently defined impact area boundaries.
