Archaeological Survey of the Proposed Location for a Telecommunications Tower and Associated Access Road, Floyd County, Indiana

Abstract

At the request of Terracon, the Glenn A. Black Laboratory ofArchaeology (GBL) performed a cultural resources survey of the proposed location for the Little Indian Creek telecommunications tower and access road west of Floyds Knobs, Floyd County, Indiana. Approximately 0.26 acres were 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 cultural materials 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 sites. Fieldwork was conducted August 28, 1998 by GBL archaeologists Mary E. Pirkl and Elizabeth Pennefather-O 'Brien. No cultural materials were discovered. Cultural resource clearance is recommended for construction of the telecommunications tower and its associated access road.
