Archaeological Mitigation for the North Porch Restoration at the Wylie House Museum (12Mo1310), Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana
(Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University, 2019-05-29) Watts Malouchos, Elizabeth; Drane, Leslie E.
The Wylie House Museum (12Mol310) of Bloomington, IN was the resident of Indiana University's (IU) first president Andrew Wylie. The site is located in the SW ¼ of the NW¼ of Section 4, Township 8 North, Range I West in Monroe County It is currently a National Registry property (NR-0047, IHSSI 105-055-80110) and a museum managed by the IU Libraries. The ru Capital Planning and Facilities used heavy machinery to remove the sidewalk, concrete ramp, and concrete pad that constituted the North Porch in order to replace them with a more historically appropriate wooden ramp and porch. In response to these plans, archaeologists from IU's Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology (GBL) excavated four test units and eight excavation units and monitored the site during demolition (Permit# 2017039). This investigation was conducted to determine the archaeological significance of the area and to make recommendations for further archaeological mitigation. Upon recovering historic cultural materials, the GBL catalogued and analyzed all recovered data and artifacts. Only one possible feature was uncovered although many historic artifacts dating to the late 19th and early 20thcenturies were discovered as part of a historic A Horizon/yard midden. No further archaeological mitigation was recommended in advance of the construction of the new sidewalk, ramp, and stairs as part of the north porch restoration.
Archaeological Mitigation for the North Side Parking Lots at the Wylie House Museum (12Mo1310), Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana
(Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University, 2019-05-29) Watts Malouchos, Elizabeth; Drane, Leslie E.
The Wylie House Museum (12Mo1310) of Bloomington, IN was the resident of Indiana University’s (IU) first president Andrew Wylie. The site is located in the SW ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 4, Township 8 North, Range 1 West in Monroe County. It is currently a National Registry property (NR-0047, IHSSI 105-055-80110) and a museum managed by the IU Libraries. On 7-8 of November 2018, IU Facility Operations used heavy machinery to excavate two new parking lot pads (Parking Lots A and B) along the north side of the Wylie House Museum property (Figures 3-13). An archaeologist from IU’s Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology (GBL) was on site monitoring earth moving (Permit # 2018046). Few historic late 19th and early 20th century artifacts were encountered and three late historic/modern disturbance anomalies were identified. No further archaeological mitigation was recommended in the project area in advance of gravel being placed on top of both Parking Lot A and B and an additional concrete pad poured over Parking Lot A.

Limited Archaeological Survey (Visual and Shovel Test Pit) at Hinkle-Garton Farmstead (12Mo1509), Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana
(Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University, 2017-10-18) Watts Malouchos, Elizabeth
Hinkle-Garton Farmstead is a National Historic Place in Bloomington. Visual inspections and shovel test pits were conducted in October 2017. The results of visual and shovel test pit survey confirm that the eastern field was highly disturbed during leveling for development in 2001 and that any intact archaeological or historical deposits were destroyed at that time. Tilling and other agricultural activities in the eastern field area for the Indiana University Campus Farm will not disturb any cultural features, materials, or resources at Hinkle-Garton Farmstead. My recommendation is to allow agricultural activities to commence immediately.
Phase Ia Archaeological Survey South of the Grain Barn at Hinkle-Garton Farmstead (12Mo1509), Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana
(2017-12-20) Watts Malouchos, Elizabeth; Barzilai, Rebecca M.; Estes, Aaron; Osmundsen, Isabel
In preparation for the development of the IU Campus Farm at Hinkle-Garton (12Mo1509) by the request of Bloomington Restoration, Inc., and archaeologists from Indiana University's Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology (GBL) conducted a Phase 1a survey of a fallow field south of the property’s standing grain barn. The survey area comprises 1500 square meters (0.37 acres and 0.15 hectares) of the 11.08 acre property. This survey was conducted to determine the archaeological significance of the site, and make recommendations for the areas use for sustainable farming and preservation. In December 2017, a GBL crew excavated a series of shovel test pits to determine the presence of cultural resources and features in the field south of the grain barn. Upon recovering both historic and prehistoric materials, the team catalogued and analyzed all recovered data and artifacts. Both historic and prehistoric activities were identified at the Hinkle-Garton Farmstead, indicating occupation potentially during the Archaic period and during the early 20th century (1920-1950).
