Abstract
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 impact area of the proposed Removal of U. S. 30 Bridges (Structures 30-50-2229EB and WB) over the abandoned Conrail Railroad (Project: ST-9999(098),Des. #9610600) in Marshall County, Indiana. The project impact area consists of the area to be filled beneath the U. S. 30 bridges over the abandoned Conrail Railroad. Approximately 1 acre was 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 (IRHS S), and 3) to make recommendations for the protection of significant and potentially significant sites within the project area. 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.
