Abstract

At the request of Hannum, Wagle, and Cline Engineering, the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University (GBL) conducted an archaeological reconnaissance survey for the Town of Borden, Borden Park, located on the north side of the Muddy Fork of Silver Creek, approximately .4 miles east of the Town of Borden, Clark County, Indiana. At the time of survey, existing conditions at the site are unrestricted farm usage. 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 on January 17, 22, and 28, 2002 by GBL archaeologists Melody Pope, George Mankowski, Krista Jordan, Nicole Palmer, Johnie Sanders, and Daniel Seib. An initial field inspection was conducted on December 26, 2001 by GBL archaeologist Melody Pope and Janis Kidd, Project Engineer with Hannum, Wagle, and Cline. No cultural materials, buried cultural deposits, or sites and structures were discovered within the proposed impact area. Cultural resource clearance is therefore recommended for the proposed Borden Park little league baseball/softball facility provided that all earth-moving activities are restricted to the currently defined project area boundaries.
