Addendum: An Archaeological Reconnaissance of Two Reroutes to a Proposed ANR Pipeline Company Gas Pipeline Located in Tiffin and Washington Townships, North-Central Defiance County, Ohio.

Abstract

At the request of Dames and Moore, Inc., the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology at Indiana University (GBL-IU) conducted an archaeological reconnaissance survey of two reroutes to a previously investigated gas pipeline corridor in north-central Defiance County, Ohio (Sipes 1997). The archaeological reconnaissance (field survey) of the project area was conducted by Mr. Eric Sipes and Mr. Charles Bair on May 14, 1998. The subsequent report of findings for the project was produced during the following week. The purpose of the reconnaissance was to locate archaeological cultural resources within the proposed pipeline corridors and to assess the potential of those resources for inclusion on the Ohio Register of Historic/ Archaeological Landmarks (ORHAL) and the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). This report describes the nature of the project and project area, the reconnaissance techniques, the findings, and the recommendations based upon these findings. No archaeological sites were discovered within the two proposed reroute corridors during this investigation. Thus, no recommendations are made for further consideration of cultural resources within the current project areas.
