Abstract
On April 6th and 13th 2001, Glenn Black Lab archaeologist George L. Mankowski conducted a Phase Ia archaeological reconnaissance of a proposed location of a pavement rehabilitation on SR 165, which also included 2 bridge replacements on SR 165 located at Wade Ditch and Spring Ditch. The project area is located 2.5 miles south of Poseyville on SR 165 and is approximately 11 acres in size. The purposes of the survey were to 1) identify and document all of the cultural resources in the project area, 2) evaluate any sites in regard to their eligibility for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places and the Indiana Register of Historic Sites and Structures, and 3) make recommendations for the protection of significant and potentially significant cultural resources. Two survey methods were utilized. In plowed fields with great than 50% visibility, a visual survey strategy was utilized. A shovel probe strategy was utilized for any grassy lawn with 0% visibility. A 5 meter transect interval was used for the visual survey and shovel probes were spaced no more than 10 meters apart. No cultural materials or evidence of deposits of cultural materials were located during the survey. No further archaeological work is recommended and cultural resource clearance is recommended for the proposed project area, provided all earth-moving activities are restricted to the currently delineated project boundaries.
