	Fort Ouiatenon: A french and indian occupation along the wabash river in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, a collections ...
		In the late 1800's, the sandy soil of the ridge where Fort Ouiatenon was erected still bore visible stains outlining the major structural layout of the original construction, and eighteenth century European and native artifacts were ubiquitous (Craig 1893).
		Archaeological investigations of the fort were first undertaken from 1968-1969 by the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology (Kellar- 1970), again from 1971 1973 by persons associated with the Tippecanoe County Historical Association, and finally from 1974-1979 by Michigan State University (Tordoff 1975, 1980; Noble 1978, 1979, 1980, 1982).
