Abstract
At the request of Duncan Robertson, Inc., the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University (GBL) conducted a Phase Ia archaeological reconnaissance survey of the proposed location for a borrow pit in Decatur County, Indiana. The proposed borrow pit location consists of an area measuring approximately 3 lm x 46m situated on a sloping hillside above the Little Flatrock River. Approximately 0.35 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 (IRHSS), and 3) to make recommendations for the protection of significant and potentially significant sites. Fieldwork was conducted March 23, 2000 by GBL archaeologists Wendy L. Natt and Mary E.-Pirkl. No cultural materials were discovered within the proposed project area. Cultural resource clearance is therefore recommended for the proposed borrow pit location provided that all earth-moving activities are restricted to the currently defined project area boundaries.
