Over 50 significant prehistoric and historic archaeological sites
have been identified in the Indian Old Fields area of Clark County,
Kentucky. These date from 8000 B.C. to A.D. 1800. Several of these
sites are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Indian Old Fields was the one-time home of Shawnee chief
Catahecassa (Black Hoof), the reputed site of John Finley's trading
post, as well as Eskippakithiki, one of the last Indian towns in
what is now Kentucky. Pioneers who explored the Indian Old Fields
area in 1775 reported evidence of old buildings, Indian
fortifications, mounds and extensive areas that had been
cultivated, which they took to be corn fields. These pioneers gave
sworn statements about what they saw and directed the locations to
be laid down by survey. They testified that a place they called the
"gateposts" appeared to have been the area most recently occupied
by the Indians.
