Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The archaeological surveys predominately focus on sites in the Miami Valley in Ohio, with the exception of one survey conducted in Tennessee. The reports were created for various city, county, and state departments as well as private organizations (especially Ralph L. Woolpert engineering and surveying firm in Dayton). The surveys generally consist of an abstract, description of environmental setting, literature review, description of cultural setting, field methods, results, and recommendations. The surveys also include maps and photographs of the surveyed areas.

The early archaeological surveys dated 1975-1982, 1987-1988, and 2006-2014 were completed by Dr. Riordan with help from Wright State University students through the Anthropology Department’s Archaeological Field School. These surveys are labeled “Laboratory of Anthropology, Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio.” The remaining surveys, dated from 1983-1986 and 1989-2000, were completed by Dr. Riordan as a private contractor and not as a representative of Wright State University. There several years in the collection without any surveys including: 1979, 1993, 1994, 1999, 2001-2006, 2008, 2010, 2011.
