description: The Archaeological Resources Management Service (ARMS) conducted an archaeological subsurface reconnaissance for the proposed lake area within Koteewi Park at Strawtown, Indiana for Hamilton County Parks and Recreation (HCPR). The project will involve the construction of a recreational lake and beach area within the floodplain. The overburden from the lake construction will be deposited on the terrace to the south for the construction of a sledding hill. The subsurface reconnaissance involved the excavation of 28 backhoe trenches within the proposed project area. Subsurface deposit were recorded within nine previously recorded sites; 12H1014, 12H1018, 12H1019, 12H1069, 12H1070, 12H1072, 12H1073, 12H1074, and 12H1075. Six new archaeological sites were recorded based on subsurface deposits, 12H1175 to 1180, and one new surface site was recorded, 12H1181. Six sites, 12H1014, 12H1018, 12H1019, 12H1070, 12H1074 and 12H1178, were recommended for avoidance or further archaeological testing. These sites can be avoided by redesigning the lake location utilizing the area to the west that has a low potential for significant archaeological sites.
