Ashworth Archaeological Site
Ashworth Archaeological Site, Archaeological site in southwestern Indiana, United States.
The Ashworth Archaeological Site stands on a high bluff next to State Road 69, overlooking a slough near the Ohio and Wabash Rivers confluence.
Archaeological surveys in 1949 documented fifteen prehistoric villages in Point Township, with artifacts spanning from Folsom points to the Mississippian period.
Research at the site revealed remnants of a prehistoric village inhabited by members of the Caborn-Welborn culture, including the discovery of three human skeletons.
The location experiences fewer frost days than other Indiana regions, which explains the high concentration of Pre-Columbian settlements in this specific area.
The Indiana Historical Bureau initiated research at this site in 1945 due to concerns about potential destruction from flood control projects.
