Abstract

This report describes the testing and excavation of Early Woodland and Middle Woodland components of the Knob Creek site (12HR484) by the Indiana State University Anthropology Laboratory (ISUAL). The site liesin the floodplain between Knob Creek and the Ohio River, near the former town of Bridgeport, in southeastern Harrison County, Indiana (Figure 1.1). Subsurface deposits from both components extended for more than 500 m along two floodplain ridges (Figure 1.2). The dense Middle Woodland deposits yielded one of the largest collections of ceramic and lithic artifacts of that cultural affiliation in the lower Ohio Valley, and the Early Woodland deposits contained a sizable assemblage of lithic tools and some of the earliest pottery in the region.
