Resurvey and Intensive Testing of Archaeological Sites at Saylorville Lake, Polk and Dallas Counties, Iowa. Volume 1. Site Survey.

Abstract

Twenty-seven prehistoric archaeological sites were resurveyed and nine of these were tested to assess site type, cultural affiliation, current condition, and data potential. Cultural materials included over 4,000 lithic and ceramic artifacts ranging from the Early Archaic through the Late Woodland and Oneota periods. Geomorphological studies resulted in the formulation of generalized land form models which clarify relationships between geomorphic features and site distributions. (Author)
