Artifact Database, Chapman and Lockman Archaeological Investigations 1979

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Louisville District archaeological collections were sent to the Veterans Curation Project’s (VCP) St. Louis laboratory in the fall of 2009. The VCP St. Louis laboratory was established by USACE, St. Louis District’s Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funds and staffed through Brockington and Associates, Inc. Human skeletal remains (HSR) were removed from the USACE, Louisville District collection by USACE, St. Louis District physical anthropologist Cathy Van Arsdale after the discovery of their presence by the VCP lab staff. Because of the sensitive nature of human remains, it was determined that they would be sent to the USACE, St. Louis District archaeological laboratory to be processed and labeled by Corps employees. The procedures employed by the St. Louis VCP to re-house the archaeological material from the Chapman and Lockman Archaeological Investigation, 1979 are discussed in the artifact report. In the re-housing process of each investigative effort of the USACE, Louisville District collection, the same standard procedures and Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology (GBL) guidelines followed. Upon completion of this curation management project, these collections were sent to GBL for permanent curation. The procedures employed by the St. Louis VCP to rehouse the archaeological material from the Chapman and Lockman Archaeological Investigations 1979 investigation are discussed in the Artifact Report.

Black Laboratory of Archaeology, GBL）的操作规范。本次藏品保护管理项目完成后，该批藏品将被移送至GBL进行永久馆藏保存。 针对1979年查普曼与洛克曼考古调查出土考古材料的重新装盒流程，已在《器物报告》（Artifact Report）中详述。该报告可在tDAR平台的以下链接获取：https://core.tdar.org/document/402357。
