Artifact Report, Archaeological Field Reconnaissance Mississinewa Reservoir Force Main 1979

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Louisville District archaeological collections were sent to the Veterans Curation Program’s (VCP) St. Louis laboratory in May 2011. The VCP St. Louis laboratory is a USACE, St. Louis District’s Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections project, which is staffed through Brockington and Associates, an archaeological contract firm located in Norcross, Georgia.
The procedures employed to re-house the archaeological material from the Archaeological Field Reconnaissance Mississinewa Reservoir Force Main 1979 investigation are discussed below and follow those procedures utilized by the VCP St.Louis laboratory. In the re- housing process of each investigative effort of the USACE, Louisville District, the same standard procedures and the Applied Archaeology Laboratory at Ball State University (AAL) guidelines were followed. Upon completion of the curation management project, the collection will be sent to AAL for permanent curation.
