Indiana: finds from Calvert Porter exploration presented Feb. 27

Finds from an exploration of Calvert Porter Woods Nature Preserve will be presented Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. at the Carnegie Museum of Montgomery County in Crawfordsville.

This project was funded in part by a grant from the National Park Service’s Historic Preservation Fund, which is administered by the DNR Division of Historic Preservation & Archaeology.

The public presentation will review project goals, objectives, and results of this year’s surveys, and will concentrate on what the artifacts tell us about the human occupation of Montgomery County during different time periods. Archaeologists will also have artifacts from the survey available to view and will show a video that highlights their field and lab methods.
