Abstract
At the request of the Department of the Navy, Crane Division Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University (GBL) conducted a Phase Ia archaeological reconnaissance survey for a proposed stream relocation project on the grounds of the Crane NSWC, Martin County, Indiana. The proposed stream relocation project will involve 1) minor stream bed diversion, and 2) reinforcement of a railroad grade slope that currently forms the southern bank of the stream. In order to stabilize the bank and to prevent further erosion, the stream bed will be diverted slightly to the north, and additional geotextile and riprap will be applied to the eroding (southern) stream bank. An area measuring approximately 28 meters e/w by 15 meters n/s was surveyed on the north side of the stream. A total of approximately 0.10 acre 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 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 (]RI-IS S ), and 3) to make recommendations for the protection of significant and potentially significant sites. Fieldwork was conducted August 1, 2000 by GBL archaeologists Mary Pirkl, Amanda Roth, and Jeff Brown. No cultural resources were discovered within the proposed project area. No further archaeological work is recommended. Cultural resource clearance is therefore recommended for the proposed stream relocation project, provided that all earth-moving activities are restricted to the currently defined project area boundaries.
