This thesis has investigated and recorded sites of Archaeological interest in Randolph County, Indiana. An earlier survey, conducted by Frank M. Setzler in 1930, investigated and recorded 20 sites. These were revisited by the writer and comments on their present condition are included in the paper. In addition, 46 new sites were located, recorded and categorized according to the developmental stage suggested by surface finds and/or test pits. Finally the thesis discusses the spatial and temporal relationships of the sites to sites in other areas.

The purpose of this essay is to give a nuanced and problematized view of the notion that the literary universe of H.P. Lovecraft is purely nihilistic, in the most basic sense of the word, and instead try to show that it, in spite of this actually allows for both hope and growth for its characters. To do so, the essay will closely examine one of Lovecraft’s few recurring protagonists, Randolph Carter, who in relation to Lovecraft’s other characters, is much more on the outside of society than a part of it. To accomplish this, the essay will focus on those of Lovecraft’s texts which feature Carter and this one’s personal goals, philosophy and morals in relation to those of the society that surrounds him. Carter’s character and actions and ideals will throughout this be contrasted to the philosophical ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche to try to show that adherence to Nietzschean virtues can allow a character to actually transcend the supposed intrinsic nihilism and horror of Lovecraft’s universe. In examining Carter, central concepts will include, among other things: the search for beauty, the power of dreams as well as the power of passion, as well as Nietzschean concepts such as The Will to Power, Apollonian and Dionysian, The Eternal Return and Nihilism.

Terms used to discuss the cultural landscape, land use issues, and rural visual elements are used to explore changes in eighteen sections of Randolph County, Indiana. Documented trends of change in the visual elementL, and related issues during the forty year period include field enlargement, the removal or deteriration of fences, and loss of tree lines. Some wooded areas were cleared but most showed regrowth after pasturing ceased. Changing agricultural practices and financial pressures under lie many land use choices.Other changes include increasing farm sizes, parcellation, and the deterioration or removal of settlement structures. (55) As changes proceed, old elements, often those providing variety and cultural linkage with the past are giving way; landscapes are becoming more open and uniform. At the same time new elements such as power lines and subdivisions are creating a new rural look. / Department of Landscape Architecture

Historic concrete fence posts were created in the early twentieth century. This study examined how they were constructed and who constructed them. A survey of Randolph county, Indiana was conducted in order to determine the possible construction methods. Literature sources indicate that farmers were encouraged to construct concrete posts on their own. The survey also points to the idea that historic concrete fence posts were created by the farmers who used them. While commercially manufactured posts exist in Randolph county, they are from a later date, and thus not the focus of this study. Interviews with members off the farming community also indicate that most farmers built their own concrete fence posts, from molds they also made. While many businesses and colleges promoted the use and construction of concrete fence posts, they were individually made to serve farmers' immediate and long term fencing needs. / Department of Architecture
