Archeological Investigations At The Three Rivers Flood Control Project PDF Download

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 the construction of the stilling basin in case cultural resources are located. Project area II should be spared disturbance because of the findings of Oneota cultural remains. Much of the sand rise in Project Area III was found to be disturbed from previous scraping. Therefore, this area appears not to contain significant cultural resources, and does not require additional investigation.
