Funding and assistance for the 1991 and 1992 field school excavations were received from the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology (GBL), and the Department of Anthropology, Indiana University. Additional funding for the 1991 season was contributed by the Indiana Historical Society. Dr. Christopher Peebles (Director, GBL) and Noel Justice (Curator of Collections, GBL) provided the use of the facilities and equipment of the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology for all phases of this project. Minnie Headdy (Administrative Assistant, GBL) carried out the bulk of the required administrative and clerical tasks with great efficiency and characteristic good humor.
The author would like to also thank the following individuals for their contributions to the project.
Stephen Ball, Bret Ruby, Robert McCullough, and Leslie Bush served above and beyond the call of duty as graduate assistants in the field and laboratory. Their archaeological and educational expertise, as well as their constant good humors made the author's job much easy than anticipated. Amy Bailey, Tammy Christenberry, and Christopher "Kip" Andres served admirably as undergraduate interns in the field and perfectly complimented our already fine staff. Additional labor in the field was contributed by Paula Whittaker, Bill Meadows, Jennifer Bailey, Rex Garniewicz, Diane Warren, Jeff Brown, Tim Wright, Fran Weinberg, and Chris Clark. Bret Ruby, Leslie Bush, Paula Whittaker, and Wendy O'Brien, took on the mighty task of artifact washing and cataloging, and saw it to its completion. Valuable aid in the laboratory was provided by volunteers Trevor Harding, Robert Martin, Alisa Kaylor and Jodi Pope-Pfingston.
Stephen Ball carried out the magnetic and resistivity surveys of the site and produced the graphic output of the results which are illustrated in Appendix A. Bret Ruby constructed the original distribution maps of surface artifacts which served as the basis for Figures 6- l0.
James Clampitt kindly agreed to let us dig holes on his farm and provided the mechanized labor for cultivating the site prior to surface collection and backfilling afterward. The Clampitt family provided moral support through quiet observation, inquisitive dialogue, home-made ice cream, and apple cider.
Deserving of greatest recognition is the excellent group of students who contributed their time, tuition money and, at times, exhaustive labor with good humor and a true scientific spirit. Thank you to Kip Andres, Chuck Bair, Leslie Bush, Molly Gould, Trevor Harding, Ginny Kilander, Jennifer Lottes, Robert Martin, Pat Moeller, Eduardo Neves, Jodi Parks, Eric Sipes, Chris Terry, Tim Wright, Kristin Ahlstrom, Leslie Frazee, Dan Blair, Joe Ferraro, Lori Fox, Alisa Kaylor, Russell Martin, Bethany Nold, Michael O'Brien, Nancy Papacek, Jodi Pope-Pfingston, Ann Reed, Jennifer Riemen, Elizabeth Scott, Debbie Shamp, Jerry Shoup, Brian Weglarz, and Rachel West.
