Abstracts are made available for research purposes. To view the full report, please contact the staff of the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology (www.gbl.indiana.edu).At the request of A & E Engineering, Inc. and the Town of Nashville, Indiana, the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology conducted an archaeological reconnaissance of the proposed route of pipelines to be constructed to improve the town's wastewater system. The reconnaissance was implemented to locate any cultural resources that may be impacted by proposed construction and to assess the potential significance of those resources relative to the criteria to be met for nomination for inclusion on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. Although the majority of the project area was available for inspection at the time of the reconnaissance, permission could not be obtained to examine one portion considered to have a high probability of containing cultural deposits and an archaeological reconnaissance of the unexamined area is recommended. A single prehistoric archaeological site was encountered within the area subjected to reconnaissance. However, information obtained from the site does not suggest that additional archaeological investigations are warranted. This report presents pertinent information concerning the nature of the project and project area, the techniques utilized during the reconnaissance, and the cultural resources encountered
