Silurian bedrock geology of the Muncie areaGlasby, Virginia June 03 June 2011 (has links)
The Silurian rocks in Delaware County, Indiana, include, in ascending order, the Salamonie Dolomite, Limberlost Dolomite, Waldron Formation, and Louisville Limestone, and Mississinewa Shale Member of the Wabash Formation, all of the Niagaran Series (middle Silurian).The oldest exposed Silurian rocks are the Salamonie and the overlying Limberlost Formation (lower Niagaran) are exposed in Irving and Eaton quarries. The Salamonie is 25 feet of apparently reefflank rocks within the Salamonie, with primary dips to 20 degrees, are exposed in Eaton Quarry. The Limberlost, averages six feet and is generally brown, vuggy, dolostone.The Waldron and Louisville formations (middle Niagaran), are exposed in Hoyt, Irving, and Eaton quarries. The Waldron averages six feet and is interbedded grey shale and argillaceous dolostone, and is fossiliferous. It is conformably overlain by about 60 feet of Louisville Formation, predominately argillaceous dolostone with nodular chert and fossils.At Buchanan Quarry, 10 feet of grey dolomitic siltstone and shale of the Mississinewa Member, Wabash Formation, comprise the youngest Silurian strata exposed.Correlation of distinct units within the Louisville between Hoyt, Irving, and Eaton quarries shows considerable lateral continuity and general thinning toward the north.

The Roosevelt Inlet shipwreck: identification, analysis, and historical contextMcVae, Bridget Christine 10 October 2008 (has links)
Shipwrecks have a way of catching the imagination of both professionals
and the general public. During the fall of 2004 a shipwreck was discovered in
Delaware Bay near Lewes, Delaware. This vessel, believed to be British, was
lost during the second half of the eighteenth century. Preliminary examination of
the wreck site suggested that it was a merchant ship bound for the colonies.
While wrecks dating to this period representing various countries have been
found, no British merchant vessels bound for the colonies have been examined
archaeologically. This project provided the opportunity to investigate a ship and
its cargo in light of the historical events of the period.
Analysis of artifacts recovered from the site provided important glimpses
of colonial American consumer practices in the period leading up to the
American Revolution. In light of the general colonial displeasure over increased
Parliamentary restrictions, colonists adjusted their buying habits. Study of the
artifact assemblage suggests British merchants were attempting to substitute non-British manufactured goods for some objects. This study also indicated that
colonists were perhaps not idealistic in practice when it came to denying
themselves consumer goods. Further excavation of this vessel, and the study of
other inbound merchantmen, should help confirm the conclusions regarding
British policy and its effect on pre-revolutionary consumer practices. Based
upon evidence derived from a handful of artifacts, this study tentatively identified
the vessel as the ship Severn, lost in 1774 off the coast of Delaware.

A tisket, a tasket, please don't touch that casket : an evaluation of cemeteries in Delaware County, IndianaWalker, Amy E. January 2001 (has links)
American cemeteries have evolved from unsophisticated and crowded burial grounds to curvilinear and elegantly designed rural cemeteries to the functional business of the memorial park. Regardless of the type, all cemeteries are constantly changing due to their natural features and because of the deterioration of stone after prolonged exposure to the elements. Then add neglect or vandalism into the mix and cemeteries appear to be particularly doomed.This creative project examines the cemeteries in Delaware County, Indiana. Working from "Cemeteries in Delaware County, Indiana" by Rosaella Cartwright and Elizabeth Modlin, an inventory was completed for the sixty located cemeteries. The ten that were not inventoried were outside the scope of the project, could not be located, or inaccessible. The landscape features, markers, funerary art motifs, and preservation efforts were recorded and the data was then analyzed. Issues and challenges facing the cemeteries were investigated, including how to go about properly documenting a cemetery and general information on cleaning and repairing markers. Finally preservation guidelines and recommendations were proposed for the cemeteries in Delaware County. / Department of Architecture

The expressed needs, wants and selected characteristics of homemakers concerning the Cooperative Extension Service home economics program in Delaware County, IndianaGorman, Charlotte Ann January 1978 (has links)
The study was conducted to determine the relationships, if any, existing between certain expressed needs, wants and selected characteristics of (1) members of Cooperative Extension Service Homemaker Clubs and (2) homemakers not holding a membership in a Cooperative Extension Service Homemaker Club. The expressed needs, wants and selected characteristics of participants were concerned with the Cooperative Extension Service home economics program, including implementation and presentation.Data were obtained from written responses from a non-probability sample of 502 Delaware County, Indiana, homemakers, 304 Extension Homemaker Club members and 198 non-club members. The participants were attending a Holiday Hints activity on October 26, 1977, sponsored by the Cooperative Extension Service in Delaware County, Indiana.Nine null hypotheses were tested by using the chi-square test at 0.05 level of significance. Other data from the survey were presented in a descriptive manner.The following relationships between club and non-club members were evident based on the findings of the study: mare club members have knowledge of the Cooperative Extension. Service; more club members live in the rural area; non-club members have more years of formal education; club members are older; and club members have more desire to help decide on the Extension activities or lessons for the year.Over half of the club and non-club members were employed outside the home. The workshop and the demonstration were preferred by club and non-club members. Arts and crafts was the home economics subject matter area preferred by both club and non-club members. The activities and lessons preferred by club and non-club members were similar.There was a statistical relationship between the following variables: the age of the Extension Homemaker Club member and the time of day of attendance at Extension-sponsored home economics activities; the age of the homemaker not holding membership in an Extension Homemaker Club and the time of day of attendance at Extension-sponsored home economics activities; Extension Homemaker Club membership and frequency of attendance at Extension-sponsored home economics activities; and area of residence of the homemaker and Extension Homemaker Club membership.The following conclusions were drawn:1. The number of the potential clients served by the Extension home economics agents will be greater if additional programs are developed for women not belonging to Extension Homemaker Clubs.2. New methods should be utilized for extending Extension home economics information to the women.3. Concepts from other home economics subject matter areas should be incorporated into the arts and crafts activities and lessons sponsored by Extension.4. Programs which are provided for people involved in Extension home economics activities or lessons should involve a wide range of non-traditional activities and lessons in addition to the traditional activities.5. Non-club women should be involved in the program planning process.6. An evaluation form should be developed to be completed by women attending Extension-sponsored activities or lessons. Each activity and lesson should also be evaluated by the Extension home economists(s).

Fluvial geomorphic analysis and historic reconstruction of the Killbuck-Mud Creek subwatershed, Delaware County, IndianaBelobraydic, Matthew L. January 2006 (has links)
Killbuck-Mud Creek Subwatershed (KBMC) stream channels have been extensively modified to facilitate the drainage for agricultural purposes. To identify the feasibility of stream restoration, the natural conditions of the subwatershed were estimated from the current basin morphometry, hydrology, and channel sediment load. The historic conditions for KBMC were assembled from literature and remote sensing to tabulate the conditions controlling the drainages through time. Using the Rosgen Classification of Natural Rivers the morphology of the natural streams was predicted.The dredged channels of KBMC follow glacial outwash channels. The glacial channels were silted in and hardwood forests added woody debris to create slow moving swampy conditions in the drainages. These conditions did not allow for agriculture prior to stream modifications. Only the installation of channel conditions not previously found in KBMC can be used as a stream restoration option, other management practices are suggested for the subwatershed. / Department of Geology
