Cultural Resources Investigation: Survey of Portions of the State Road Coulee Project, La Crosse, Wisconsin

Abstract

A phase I cultural resources investigation was conducted on a small tract of land along Pammel Creek at the mouth of State Road Coulee in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The Corps of Engineers plan to alter the Pammel Creek drainage in order to alleviate flooding from State Road and Ebner Coulees. Field investigations resulted in the location of two distinct landforms containing prehistoric cultural remains. If these are sealed Oneota ridged agricultural fields, this would be only the second known example in the Upper Midwest. It is recommended that a Phase II survey be conducted prior to construction activities.
