Quite possibly at 38.17223 W 85.73332, but need more documentation before concluding this. Nyttend (talk) 06:57, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt that's the location. The source says the site was found while expanding the Air National Guard base, and those coordinates look like they're part of the UPS terminal (since I think I can make out UPS planes in the aerial view).

USGS topo maps don't show any terminal at the site whatsoever: mapper.acme.com depicts taxiways going through the location of the present terminal. It's on the southern side of an east-west taxiway close to the armory, and the buildings at the KYANG complex are depicted closer to the site than they are today. More importantly, it's on the eastern part of a small knoll, and the western side of the knoll is the beginning of the Duck Spring Branch. Anyway, note that they removed part of the knoll, not to get it out of the way, but to use its soil as fill for the construction project; it didn't have to be extremely close to the KYANG complex.

Additional resources[edit]

What's weird is that this gets almost no appearance in junk NRIS-only websites (e.g. "Get directions to the KYANG Site"), but there's a substantial amount online. This document of conference proceedings discusses how a few uneducated people outstripped all the archaeologists and discovered that they were descendants of the Archaic-period residents of the site (just in time! Pretty impressive that they've not discovered whether they're descended from people at Prather across the river), this document has some information and additional sources (see Granger 1988, which appears to be a regularly published book; should be ILL-able), and I have a copy of Claassen out of the library right now, so I can use it to help.
