Abstract

At the request of ATC Associates, Inc., the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University (GBL) conducted a Phase I a archaeological reconnaissance survey of the proposed location for a cellular communications tower (Solitude, #GF -10-IN) in Posey County, Indiana. The project area, which is located roughly 10 miles south of New Harmony, Indiana, will contain a :freestanding cellular communications tower and an associated access road to the site from SR 69. A total of 0.8 acre was surveyed. The purposes of survey were 1) to identify and document all of the 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 cultural resources. Fieldwork was conducted August 23, 2000 by GBL archaeologists Mary E. Pirkl and Rexford C. Garniewicz. No cultural materials were discovered during the course of survey. Cultural resource clearance is therefore recommended for the proposed cellular communications tower, its temporary access, and its proposed permanent access road, provided that all earth-moving activities are restricted to the currently delineated project area boundaries.
