Of the 98 nonhabitation sites recorded for the reservoir, 13 which were in danger of inundation by the planned pool raise were recommended for Phase I mitigation and 45 which were not directly threatened, for Phase II mitigation. All rock art sites recommended for recording in Phase I or Phase II and all other accessible rock art sites in the reservoir were recorded. Recommended actions were taken at all Phase I rock feature sites. None of the features were found to mark burials; instead they either had no associated cultural materials or were of historic origin. Phase II sites were examined more selectively to insure that cairns from different contexts were examined. The only conclusively demonstrated prehistoric function for cairns is burial markers, and the best demonstrated historic feature types are fence supports and traps. The identification of some rock piles as homestead boundary markers, rock piles created by clearing rocks from fields, or placer mine deposits, is dependent on context, as artifacts were not found in association. Likewise, some rock features are interpreted as hunting blinds or trap anchors on the basis of location and lack of other demonstrated function. They cannot be certainly assigned to either the historic or prehistoric period. Burials were located during investigation of two rock feature sites and one prehistoric habitation site, and another was exposed by erosion at a prehistoric habitation site after the 1981 pool raise. All were relocated under a separate contract modification.

In the Ohio River-Great Lakes region, decades of conflict between pioneer settlers and Native American nations erupted into full-scale war in the 1790s. As new communities such as Cincinnati, Columbia, and North Bend were founded throughout the vast Miami Purchase, southern Ohio became the bloody battleground of this nameless war. To counter the ever-present threat of attack, southwestern Ohio's pioneering settlers "forted up" in small stockades and fortified cabins that offered some protection for their families. Today, nothing is visibly left of these vital protective "stations" except a few historic markers or local cemeteries. In this book, you will discover their people, their stories, their locations, and their role in the war that ended with the Treaty of Greeneville in 1795, and how and why some of them developed into the southern Ohio communities that we know today.

A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
