Under the authorization of the National Park Service's Systemwide Archeological Inventory Pro-gram, the Midwest Archeological Center conducted a systematic shovel-test survey of Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, Spencer County, Indiana. The three-year project employed close-interval (10-meter) shovel testing techniques as it inspected the entire 200 acres of the National Memorial. Fifteen previously unknown prehistoric sites and 9 historic artifact scatters were reported. Most of the prehistoric sites consist of low-density lithic scatters, and the historic sites are refuse dumps associated with residences from the historic town of Lincoln City, Indiana.
