John Moselage

John Moselage is known for The Lawhorn Site, a 1962 archaeological report published in The Missouri Archaeologist and later made available by Project Gutenberg. The work studies an excavation near the St. Francis River in northeastern Arkansas and reflects a practical, field-based approach to archaeology.

Contemporary material connected with the publication presents him as a dedicated amateur archaeologist who worked closely with more established researchers. In the preface to The Lawhorn Site, archaeologist Carl H. Chapman praised his determination, his careful note-taking, and his commitment to learning accepted methods and doing the job well.

Reliable biographical details beyond that are limited in the sources I could confirm here, so it is safest to remember him through the work itself: a focused, methodical contribution to regional archaeology that has remained available to later readers.
