- Ennis_Archaeological_Site abstract "The Ennis Site is an important archaeological site in the countryside southwest of Indianapolis in the U.S. state of Indiana. Located near the town of Ellettsville in Owen County, the site extends into a portion of Monroe County, near the town of Spencer. Ennis lies on the southern edge of the "Flatwoods", a small plain with outcroppings of limestone. The site itself lies in a farm field, and a large chert outcropping occupies part of the site.Archaeologists first discovered the Ennis Site in 1979 while surveying along Hoosier Energy's proposed route for a new high-voltage power line. The initial survey observed artifacts on the site's southern edge, including the remains of a lithic workshop and a wide midden. As a result, surveyors sank fifteen test pits across the site, revealing a wide but shallow dispersion of artifacts. Because of the concentrations of artifacts found at different locations at the site, it is believed to have been a workshop where stone tools were made from the chert outcropping, as well as a campsite where the toolmakers engaged in activities such as hunting and the gathering of plants for food. Three different types of projectile points, known as "Faulkner", "McWhinney", and "Matanza", were found in the midden; taken together, they are believed to suggest that the midden was created during the middle and toward the end of the Archaic period. Other portions of the site produced artifacts as early as the Early Archaic period and as recent as the Early Woodland period, more than seven thousand years after the Early Archaic.Ennis has yielded many different types of stone tools, including scrapers, flakes of stone, bits of charcoal, and fire-cracked stones. Because of the nearly intact midden and the long occupation of the site, the archaeologists responsible for investigating the site believed it to be important because of its potential ability to reveal the technology and the resource-gathering customs of nomadic Archaic peoples. Moreover, the site is believed to be chronologically comparable to the large Carrier Mills Archaeological District in Illinois and to a nearby pondside site that had produced remnants of many generations of nearby plants. As a result, its preservation was deemed necessary — the site needed to remain undisturbed because it could reveal crucial information about other sites both nearby and at a distance. Accordingly, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in mid-1985; it was the first Monroe County archaeological site and the only Owen County archaeological site to receive this distinction.".
