Archaeological Survey of the Proposed Location for a Cellular Tower and Three Associated Deadmen, North of Hatfield, Spencer County, Indiana

Abstract

At the request of Alt & Witzig Engineering, Inc., the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University (GBL) performed a cultural resources survey of the proposed location for construction of a cellular tower and three associated deadmen, north of Hatfield, Spencer County, Indiana. A total of approximately 0.23 acres was surveyed. The purposes of the survey were 1) to identify and document all of the cultural resources in the project area, 2) to evaluate any 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 March 2, 1999 by GBL archaeologists Patrick K. O'Brien and Amanda S. Roth. No cultural materials or sites were discovered during survey. Cultural resource clearance is recommended for the project area.
