description: This is the tDAR document page that represents Reports of Investigation 116 from the Applied Anthropology Laboratories (AAL) at Ball State University. The AAL conducted a Phase 1 archaeological investigation at the Morgan-Monroe State Forest (MMSF) with support from a Historic Preservation Fund grant (Grant No. 20FFY-03). The primary goal of this research was to further document two historic Civilian Conservation Corp. (CCC) camps, and other potential historic or pre-contact cultural resources at the MMSF. Data from this project contribute to future MMSF resource management planning. 

A total of 83.47 acres (33.78 hectares) of forested land was surveyed. Research focused on two survey areas: 1) an approximately 39.43 acres (15.95 hectares) area near the forest headquarters and Cherry Lake where the CCC Company No. 516 camp is located; and 2) an 44.04 acres (17.82 hectares) area surrounding the previously documented CCC Company No. 542-C camp (Site 12-Mo-1083), that was used by African American CCC enlistees. 

The present survey reinvestigated a known site (12-Mo-1083) and documented three new sites (12-Mo-1684, 12-Mo-1685, and 12-Mo-1687). Recovered artifacts include 97 historic metal, glass, and ceramic objects dating to the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and two pre-contact lithic artifacts. Seventy-eight features were documented between both survey areas. Fieldwork did not encounter human remains. Cultural periods represented in the artifact assemblage include Unidentified Prehistoric and late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Historic.
