    Indiana Archaeology Month 2015 Commemorative Poster

    Indiana Archaeology Month 2015 commemorative poster The Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology (DHPA) is pleased to present this special poster celebrating 20 years of a statewide celebration of Indiana archaeology. The poster brings together artifacts from around the state, a number of which were featured on past Archaeology Week and Archaeology Month posters and shirts. The logo in the bottom right is drawn from the image that was on the very first Indiana Archaeology Week poster in 1996. We remember the past, and also look forward to the Indiana Archaeology Months to come! The artifacts are arranged in chronological layers from the most recent at the top, to the oldest at the bottom: 1. Historic amber glass hair stain bottle (upper right) from the Bronnenberg farm at Mounds State Park (Madison County). This type of hair stain was popular from ca. 1900 to 1910. 2. Ceramic sherd (upper left) of Harmonist manufacture (early 19th century) from historic New Harmony (Posey County). 3. Silver trade Lorraine Cross (middle right) with maker’s mark stamp “JS” (Jonas Schindler) on reverse. 18th century, Tippecanoe County. 4. Prehistoric seated fluorite figurine (middle left) from the Angel Site (A.D. 1050 to 1450) (Vanderburgh County). The figurine was recovered in 1940 from Mound F by the WPA crew that worked there doing archaeology over- seen by Glenn A. Black. 5. An unusual incised jar rim sherd from the important Mississippian (late 11th and early 12th centuries) Prather Site (Clark County). 6.
