Ethnohistory and Archaeology
The early nineteenth century was a time of vast cultural change for the Potawatomi of southeastern Wisconsin. Historic accounts provide significant detail on many aspects of Potawatomi culture. An abundance of archaeological sites of all types define in material terms the diversity of their activities, their cultural identity, and their widespread presence throughout the region. The waning of the fur trade, the Black Hawk War, and the encroachmen…
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…
Investigations into Oneota Ridged Field Agriculture on the Northern Margin of the Prairie Peninsula
Oneota ridged field agricultural patterns in the Driftless Area of southwestern Wisconsin are reviewed in light of data provided by archaeological and geomorphological investigations at the Sand Lake Site. This research is summarized and a new functional interpretation of agricultural ridging is presented. A multi-functional explanation is put forth centering on tillage and control of micro-environmental factors related to a short growing season
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
