1 IPFW Archaeological Survey Annual Report for Calendar Year /16/2009 Robert G. McCullough Director

2 Section A: Mission Statement The IPFW Archaeological Survey (IPFW-AS) was created in 1981 as a community service enterprise and instructional support service of the IPFW Anthropology program, serving as an umbrella for cultural resource management, educational, and research-based archaeological activities within the geographic service area of the university. The IPFW-AS is committed to the dissemination of archaeological information and to public involvement in Midwestern archaeology. The IPFW-AS performs research, education, and cultural resources management projects across Indiana, the Great Lakes, and the Ohio Valley. Our professional staff assists museums, local historical societies, and other groups in the investigation, documentation, and interpretation of cultural resources. Our commitment to public education includes presenting research papers at professional meetings, preparation of articles for publication, public lectures, and electronic publication of our major reports. The Survey also serves as a repository of archaeological data. We house collections of documents and artifacts from our own projects as well as significant materials acquired by other groups in the course of projects required by the state and/or federal governments. The IPFW Archaeological Survey has been meeting its goal of being a contributing member of the academic community through its emphasis on excellence in teaching, research, and the provision of professional cultural resource management services.
