Abstract

At the request of Indiana Department of Transportation, the Office of Cultural Resource Management at the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University (GBL-OCRM) conducted a Phase Ia archaeological survey of an excess land parcel 15 along SR 39 in Morgan County. The property surveyed is located 1.2 miles southeast of Monrovia, Indiana. The project area is 1.4 acres in size. A total of approximately 1.0 acres were surveyed; approximately 0.4 acres were subject to overview (Figure 2). The purposes of survey were 1) to identify and document all 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 on January 13-15, 2002 by GBL archaeologists Johnie Sanders, Michael Darland, Holly Hilton, Tamara Hull, Stephanie Kazmierzak and Zarko Tankosic. No previously unrecorded archaeological sites were documented during the survey, nor is there a potential for cultural deposits to occur in the area. No further archaeological investigation is recommended. Cultural resource clearance is therefore recommended for the sale of part of excess land provided that all earth-moving activities are restricted to the currently delineated project area boundaries.
