Abstract

At the request of the Indiana Department of Transportation, the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University (GBL) conducted an archaeological records review and overview of proposed excess land parcel 2 along I-65 in Clark County, Indiana. The project area is located on Homestead Drive on the southeast edge of the town of Clarksville, Indiana, approximately 1.5 to 2 miles north of the Ohio River and two miles east of Silver Creek. The records check and field overview was conducted on August 18, 2001 by GBL archaeologist Melody Pope. The records review indicated that several previously documented archaeological sites were located within a two-mile radius of the project area on the Ohio River floodplain. No previously known sites are located within the project area. An inspection of the project area revealed that the area had been extensively disturbed by on-going construction of a pumping station. Due to the extensive disturbances from construction of the pumping station, it is the opinion of the GBL that archaeological reconnaissance level survey would not be required. The on-going earth-moving activities associated with the pumping station, however, precludes assessment of the project area.
