Cultural Resources Investigation of the Reservoir Shorelines: Gull Lake, Leech Lake, Pine River, and Lake Pokegama. Volume 1,

Abstract

This report contains a literature search and field reconnaissance survey of four Mississippi River Headwaters Reservoirs; Leech Lake, Pokegama, Gull Lakes, and the Whitefish, Upper Whitefish, and Cross Lakes in the Pine river Reservoir. A total of 155 prehistoric and historic sites were identified adjacent to the shorelines of those reservoirs. Of these sites, 69 were suffering severe to moderate water erosion due to raised water levels and consequent wave action. A least six sites were located which have been completely destroyed and/or submerged by water action. Keywords: Archaeology, Minnesota.
