The Archaeology of Coralville Lake, Iowa. Volume 3. Sample Survey (Interim Report 1).

Abstract

Management Phases O-I entail development of a management data base for Coralville Lake and the completion of a 20% stratified random sample survey of the project area. In addition to these two primary tasks, ancillary work included test excavations at 5 archaeological sites, none of which are considered eligible for The National Register of Historic Places. Finally, the results of both literature and archives search and field investigations related to the surficial geology of the project locality are incorporated in this interim report. A total of 1858 hectares comprising 21.5% of the Coralville Lake project area was subjected to archaeological survey. Sixty-four previously unrecorded sites were found within the sample units. Twenty-five previously reported sites, located within the sample units were revisited. New site boundaries were determined and additional cultural materials were collected. Information from field and lab-based investigations were incorporated within the automated data management system.
