Abstract
At the request of the Indiana Department of Transportation, the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University (GBL) conducted a archeological records check and overview for excess land parcels 6 and 7 located along SR 135 in Harrison County, Indiana. The project area is restricted to the south side of SR 135 and comprises the front lawn of the Lowell Haub residence. The records check and field overview was conducted on August 19, 2001 by GBL archaeologist Melody Pope. The records check revealed a number of previously recorded archaeological sites, all described as light lithic scatters, within two miles of the project area. There are no known archaeological sites recorded, however, for the properties in question. An inspection of the properties revealed that the area of concern had been previously disturbed by the construction and subsequent destruction of two residential structures built in the 1940's. A pond had also once been present in the project area, but had been previously drained and filled-in prior to construction of previous residential structures on the land parcels in question (Lowell Haub, personal communication). Due to the extensive alterations in the project area from land moving and filling, and lack of evidence for previously recorded cultural materials in the project area, it was the opinion of the GBL that archaeological reconnaissance level survey would not be necessary. Cultural resource clearance is recommended for the project area provided that all earth-moving activities are restricted to the currently defined project area boundaries.
