Dear Mr. Denton:

My letter of January 18, 1980 forwarded National Register nomination forms for archaeological site 123e4 ("McNeil Stone Fort") and indicated that the Indiana State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) was reviewing these forms and would be com-menting with regard to the site's eligibility for the National Register. The attached letter contains the SHPO's concurrence that the site is eligible for the National Register.

It is ~our understanding that the above mentioned two doci sents should be sufficient for your office to prepare, or coordinate the preparation c., a request to the Keeper of the National Register for final determination of eligibility. If the site is declared eligible, PSI will propose to carry out a mitigation plan under a Memorandum of Agree-ment with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.

Your prompt attention to expediting this National Register application would be greatly appreciated.

incerely, o

Marble Hill-Columbus Transmission Line

('h bu

Dear Mr. Odor:

We have reviewed the documentation prepared for archaeological site 12 de 4 located within the proposed Marble Hill-Columbus transmission line corridor.

This site,12 Je 4, contains significant prehistoric cultucal compenents rcp-resenting Late Archaic and Late Middle-Late Woodland cultural periods. Sites with the contextual integrity and cultural dimensions of 12 Je 4 are quite rare within Indiana and the region. Site 12 Je 4 has potential for the ongoing research and interpretation of a number of critical aspects of prehistoric diets, mortuary practices, subsistence and settlement patterns, and tech-nology.

It is our opinion that the site is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.

In accordance with Advisory Council regulations, 36 CFR 800.3.b, it is our opinion that construction of the proposed transmission line tower at the location of archaeological site 12 Je 4 will be an adverse effect.

If we can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact my staff.

Very truly yours, T

Joseph 0. Cloud te Historic Preservation Officer JDC:GDE:hdw I
