Finding Aid, Patoka Lake Salvage Excavations 1980

The Veterans Curation Program (VCP) utilizes the standard archival practice of unique naming of collections. The purpose of this practice is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as "Patoka Lake Salvage Excavations 1980.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is four and a half (4.5) linear feet. All materials processed at the VCP were received from Glenn Black Laboratory of Archaeology (GBL) at Indiana University. There was some organization of the documents associated with the Patoka Lake salvage project when it was received, and most of the documents were well maintained.

退伍军人整理项目（Veterans Curation Program, VCP）采用馆藏唯一命名的标准档案工作规范，以此规避考古调查中常见的馆藏名称冗余与混淆问题。据此，本次馆藏被命名为“1980年帕托卡湖抢救性发掘”，该名称在档案检索工具、案卷文件夹及箱标中均保持统一。本次馆藏规模为4.5线性英尺，本项目处理的全部资料均来自印第安纳大学格伦·布莱克考古实验室（Glenn Black Laboratory of Archaeology, GBL）。接收帕托卡湖抢救项目相关文件时，该批文件已具备初步整理基础，且绝大多数文件保存状态良好。
