Artifact Report, 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 below. 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.

美国陆军工程兵团（U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, USACE）路易斯维尔分区的考古藏品于2009年秋季被移送至退伍军人典藏项目（Veterans Curation Project, VCP）圣路易斯实验室。该VCP圣路易斯实验室由美国陆军工程兵团圣路易斯分区的考古藏品典藏与管理强制专业中心依托2009年《美国复苏与再投资法案》（American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009）专项资金设立，并由布罗金顿联合公司（Brockington and Associates, Inc.）派驻人员运维。
VCP实验室工作人员在清点时发现藏品中包含人类骨骼遗骸（Human Skeletal Remains, HSR），美国陆军工程兵团圣路易斯分区体质人类学家凯西·范·阿德斯代尔（Cathy Van Arsdale）随即将此类遗骸从美国陆军工程兵团路易斯维尔分区的藏品中剥离。鉴于人类遗骸的敏感性属性，经研究确定将其移送至美国陆军工程兵团圣路易斯分区考古实验室，由工程兵团内部员工开展处理与贴标工作。
下文将详述圣路易斯VCP为重新收纳1979年查普曼与洛克曼考古调查（Chapman and Lockman Archaeological Investigation, 1979）出土考古材料所采用的工作流程。在对美国陆军工程兵团路易斯维尔分区藏品的每一项考古调查成果进行重新收纳的环节中，均严格遵循统一的标准作业流程及格伦·A·布莱克考古实验室（Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, GBL）的指导规范。本典藏管理项目完工后，这批考古藏品将被移送至GBL进行永久典藏保管。
