Archaeological Survey of the Proposed Location for the Hoosier Aloha North Housing Development, Monroe County, Indiana

Abstract

At the request of Monroe County Housing Solutions, Inc. (MCHS), the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology (GBL) performed a cultural resources survey of the proposed location for the Hoosier Aloha North housing development, Monroe County, Indiana. A total of 25.15 acres were surveyed. The purposes of the survey were 1) to identify and document all of the cultural resources in the project area, 2) to evaluate the sites 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 June 5, 1998 by GBL archaeologist Patrick K. O'Brien. One prehistoric site, 12 Mo 1125, was discovered. The site is unlikely to yield data significant to the study of local, regional, or state prehistory. It is recommended to be non-significant and ineligible for inclusion on either the NRHP or the IRHSS. Cultural resource clearance is recommended for construction of the Hoosier Aloha North housing development.
