Artifact Report, Tishomingo County Type Collection N.D.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Mobile District archaeological collections were sent to the Veterans Curation Program’s (VCP) Augusta laboratory in April of 2014. The Augusta VCP laboratory is a USACE, St. Louis District’s Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections program, which was staffed through New South Associates, Inc., an archaeological contract firm located in Stone Mountain, Georgia between April of 2014 and April of 2015. Between April and October of 2015 the program was staffed through Cogstone-Berger JV, an archaeological contract firm located in Orange, California. Beginning in mid-October 2015, the program was staffed by ERG-NSA JV, a joint venture between Environmental Research Group (ERG) of Baltimore, Maryland, and New South Associates, Inc., headquartered in Stone Mountain, Georgia. The procedures employed to re-house the archaeological material from the Tishomingo County Type Collection N.D. investigation are discussed below and follow those procedures utilized by the Augusta VCP laboratory. In the re-housing process of each investigative effort of the USACE, St. Mobile District collection, the same standard procedures and Mississippi State University’s (MSU) Cobb Institute of Archaeology guidelines were followed. Upon completion of the curation management project, the collection was sent to Cobb Institute of Archaeology at MSU (Starkville, Mississippi) for permanent curation.
