Effigy mounds and rock art of midcontinental North America
The effigy mounds of the Upper Midwest and the Ohio Valley long have been regarded as distinct and independent cultural developments. A review of effigy mound iconography in both regions reveals similarities suggesting that they are elements of a shared cultural tradition. Comparisons with rock art imagery from the Upper Midwest and Missouri, the inferred centers of this artistic and ceremonial florescence, reveal co-occurrences of specific motif…
Trempealeau’s Little Bluff
Archaeological and geomorphological investigations of Little Bluff (47Tr32), in Trempealeau, Wisconsin, reveal how and, possibly, why this loess-capped sandstone ridge spur was anthropogenically altered in the mid-eleventh century A.D. Project excavation units and trenches dug in 2010–2011 revealed the timing, rate of completion, structure, symmetry, and orientation of the construction. In addition to delineating construction details and associat…

Petrographic Analysis of Late Woodland and Middle Mississippian Ceramics at the Iva Site (47Lc42), Onalaska, Wisconsin
The Iva site contained a rare effigy mound and Middle Mississippian (Ramey horizon) component within the Late Woodland Lewis phase territory of the Upper Mississippi River valley. Salvage excavations in 2002–2003 recovered fragments of numerous Angelo Punctated, Powell Plain, and Ramey Incised vessels, including examples of Angelo and Ramey in direct association. Petrographic analysis was conducted on seven grit-tempered and six shell-tempered ve…
Trempealeau Entanglements
Archaeological investigations at the Trempealeau and Fisher Mounds Site Complexes in western Wisconsin have provided definitive evidence of settlements and platform mounds in a portion of the Upper Mississippi Valley dating to the early Cahokian era, immediately priorto A.D. 1050 and ending before A.D. 1100. The presence ofCahokian earthen constructions, wall-trench buildings, ceramics, and imported stone tools associated with likely religious bu…
Silver Mound, Wisconsin
In 2006, the prehistoric quarry complex at Silver Mound in western Wisconsin was designated a National Historic Landmark. As the sole source of Hixton Silicified Sandstone, Silver Mound's landmark designation exemplifies the important role played by high quality lithic raw material sources during the initial peopling of eastern North America. An updated and comprehensive description of archaeological resources associated with the quarry complex i…
New Evidence in the Upper Mississippi Valley for Premississippian Cultural Interaction with the American Bottom
The recovery of anomalous (red-slipped, shell/grog/sandstone-tempered) pottery from three sites in the Upper Mississippi Valley (UMV) prompted a petrographic analysis of thin sections of 21 vessels from these sites. The goal was to evaluate their possible derivation from the American Bottom, the nearest locality where such pottery commonly occurs. Among the 12 UMV vessels tempered with shell (nine red slipped), ten were determined, based on compa…
Collapse of Crucial Resources and Culture Change
The Driftless Area of the Upper Midwestern United States offers a case study for the transition from hunter-gatherer (Late Woodland Effigy Mound) to agricultural (Oneota) societies between ca. A.D. 950 and 1150, a period that coincided with northward expansion of Middle Mississippian cultures from the American Bottom. Previous studies have not adequately explained the regional disappearance of Effigy Mound cultures, the appearance of Oneota cultu…
The Kriesel Cache
The Kriesel Cache originally consisted of 74 lanceolate-shaped silicified sandstone bifaces from western Wisconsin. These are interpreted as preforms relating to the Agate Basin complex. Analysis of metric attributes from the 73 bifaces remaining in the collection since its recovery in 1968 are contrasted to the complete projectile points reported from the Agate Basin type site and highlight the effects of reworking on Agate Basin points. This pa…

Additional Western Lithics for Hopewell Bifaces in the Upper Mississippi River Valley
Excavations ofHopewe/1 tombs in the Trempealeau-LaCrosse localityofthe Upper Mississippi River recovered numerous large “ceremonial” bifaces. Most are manufactured of exotic lithic materials, including Knife River flint and obsidian from the Plains/Rocky Mountains. Several speckled “Jasper” and gray “quartzite” bifaces are attributed to Madison Formation dendritic chert and siliceous sediments from the eastern Wyoming/Black Hills area. In additio…
Floodplain Agriculture in the Driftless Area
Comments offered by Overstreet are based on a misunderstanding of the physiographic setting of the Sand Lake site and selective reading of the data. The Sand Lake ridged fields are situated in a floodplain in the Driftless Area of southwestern Wisconsin, a setting very different from that of upland ridged fields in glaciated eastern Wisconsin. Overstreet attempts to refute interpretations that we have already revised significantly. Current interp…
Additional Cultural Resources Investigations at Selected Portions of the State-Road Coulee - Pammel Creek Flood Control Project at La Crosse, Wisconsin
This report is a cultural resource investigation of three areas within the State Road Coulee-Pammel Creek flood control project area. The three areas include a downstream section of the mississippi River floodplain at the mouth of Pammel Creek, and two adjacent areas upstream at the mouth of State Road Coulee. In project area I, shovel testing was unfeasible because of the high water table. It is recommended at a qualified archaeologist monitor t…
Oneota Ridged Field Agriculture in Southwestern Wisconsin
A series of buried ridged agricultural fields has been discovered at the Sand Lake Site (47 Lc44) in La Crosse County, Wisconsin. Associated artifacts, features, and assayed carbon samples demonstrate that the fields were constructed by Oneota people in the fifteenth century A.D. Evidence suggests that water control was a major function of the ridges
