Hovey Lake Archaeological District
Hovey Lake Archaeological District, Archaeological site at Hovey Lake, Indiana, US
The archaeological district spans 343 acres near the Ohio River, containing multiple Native American settlement sites from the Mississippian period.
Native American groups occupied the area between 1400 and 1650 CE, establishing villages with rectangular structures, storage pits, and defensive palisades.
The excavations revealed evidence of trade networks connecting the Caborn-Welborn people with groups from the central Mississippi River Valley and Tennessee regions.
The site, managed by Indiana Department of Natural Resources, offers research opportunities through collaboration with universities, museums, and community organizations.
Archaeological investigations identified special storage pits near houses that could hold sufficient grain to sustain between seven and twelve people for an entire year.
