Archaeology of the Eau Galle River Valley Dam Salvage Project,

Abstract

The proposed dam site lies in Pierce County, Wisconsin near the town of Spring Valley. The reservoir pool, when at its maximum elevation of 1028.0 feet, will cover the downstream portions of several tributaries of the Eau Galle River. Two site were partially excavated. The lamb 5 site received more attention because of its size, location, depth, and relatively high artifact yield. The Johnson 2 site was selected because of its prolific yield of flake debris.
