Abstract

The Wylie House Museum (12Mo1310) of Bloomington, IN was the resident of Indiana University’s (IU) first president Andrew Wylie. The site is located in the SW ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 4, Township 8 North, Range 1 West in Monroe County. It is currently a National Registry property (NR-0047, IHSSI 105-055-80110) and a museum managed by the IU Libraries. On 7-8 of November 2018, IU Facility Operations used heavy machinery to excavate two new parking lot pads (Parking Lots A and B) along the north side of the Wylie House Museum property (Figures 3-13). An archaeologist from IU’s Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology (GBL) was on site monitoring earth moving (Permit # 2018046). Few historic late 19th and early 20th century artifacts were encountered and three late historic/modern disturbance anomalies were identified. No further archaeological mitigation was recommended in the project area in advance of gravel being placed on top of both Parking Lot A and B and an additional concrete pad poured over Parking Lot A.
