Abstract

At the request of Dames and Moore, Inc., the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University (GBL) conducted an archaeological reconnaissance of approximately 0. 75 miles (1.3 5 km) ofproposed gas pipeline corridor in central Lake County, Indiana. The segment ofpipeline under consideration here was included in a previous archaeological reconnaissance of 11.1 miles of pipeline corridor (Sipes and Kearney 1997), but was not surveyed then due to lack of landowner permission. A total of approximately 6.4 acres was surveyed. Survey of the project area was conducted by GBL archaeologists, Andrew White, Lee Fennimore, and Jessica Satkoski on August 13, 1998. Patrick O'Brien served as project director. The boundaries of the project area for which landowner permission had been recently obtained were discussed with Mr. Douglas Johnson of ANR Pipeline Company and Ms. Karen Struif of Dames and Moore prior to commencement of the reconnaissance. The purpose of this reconnaissance was to locate cultural resources within the proposed pipeline corridor, and to assess the potential of those resources for inclusion on the NationalRegister ofHistoric Places (NRHP) and the IndianaRegister ofHistoric Sites and Structures (IRHSS). This report describes the nature of the project and the project area, the reconnaissance methods, the findings, and the recommendations based upon these findings. This report should be considered an addendum to a previous report detailing the larger project area (Sipes and Kearney 1997). No previously recorded sites exist within the project area and no previously unrecorded archaeological sites were discovered within the project area.
