Artifact Report, Brookville Reservoir Survey 1991-1992

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Louisville District archaeological collections were sent to the Veterans Curation Program’s (VCP) St. Louis laboratory in May 2011. The St. Louis VCP laboratory is a USACE, St. Louis District’s Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections program, which is staffed through Brockington and Associates, an archaeological contract firm located in Norcross, Georgia. Human skeletal remains (HSR) were removed from the USACE, Louisville District collection by Ball State University. The human remains were brought to the St. Louis archaeological laboratory by USACE staff. Because of the sensitive nature of human remains, it was determined that they would remain at the USACE, St. Louis District archaeological laboratory to be processed and labeled by USACE employees. The procedures employed to re-house the archaeological material from the Brookville Reservoir Survey 1991–1992 investigation are discussed below and follow those procedures utilized by the St. Louis VCP laboratory. In the re-housing process of each investigative effort of the USACE, Louisville District collection, the same standard procedures and Applied Archaeology Laboratories, Ball State University (AAL) guidelines were followed. Upon completion of the curation management project, the collection will be sent to AAL for permanent curation.美国陆军工程兵团（U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, USACE）路易斯维尔分区的考古藏品于2011年5月被移送至退伍军人馆藏项目（Veterans Curation Program, VCP）圣路易斯实验室。该圣路易斯VCP实验室为美国陆军工程兵团圣路易斯分区的考古藏品馆藏与管理指定专家中心项目，其运营人员由位于佐治亚州诺克罗斯的考古承包公司Brockington and Associates派驻。 鲍尔州立大学（Ball State University）从美国陆军工程兵团路易斯维尔分区的藏品中移除了人类骨骼遗骸（Human skeletal remains, HSR），这批人类遗骸由美国陆军工程兵团工作人员运送至圣路易斯考古实验室。鉴于人类遗骸的敏感性，经研究决定将其留存于美国陆军工程兵团圣路易斯分区考古实验室，由该兵团员工开展处理与贴标工作。 下文将阐述针对1991—1992年布鲁克维尔水库调查出土考古材料的重新装箱流程，该流程严格遵循圣路易斯VCP实验室所采用的标准操作规范。在对美国陆军工程兵团路易斯维尔分区藏品的每一项调查项目进行重新装箱时，均统一执行相同的标准流程以及鲍尔州立大学应用考古实验室（Applied Archaeology Laboratories, Ball State University, AAL）的指导准则。本次馆藏管理项目完成后，这批藏品将被移送至AAL进行永久馆藏保存。
