An archaeological survey of Union County, Indiana

Abstract

Two previous archaeological surveys were conducted in Union County, Indiana. The sites reported by these surveys were investigated. Many previously unreported sites were also located. The finds from the newly discovered sites were analyzed in terms of developmental stages and also lithic technology. The results of this analysis were then compared to other sites and stages in surrounding regions particularly in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. Further an attempt was made to describe patterns of life for prehistoric groups through the functional analysis of artifacts.
