Additional Material from and Notes on the Hog Hollow Site, Grant County, Wisconsin,

Abstract

The Hog Hollow site (47-Gt-266) is located in southwestern Wisconsin, in section 10, T.2N., R.3W., Grant Country. It is situated on a low terrace of the Mississippi River at the water's edge in Navigation Pool 11. The site originally overlooked an extensive backwater slough system at the mouth of the Grant River but inundation caused by Lock and Dam, No. 11, about 10 miles downstream, masks the complex nature of the adjacent floodplain. This report describes: 1) the artifact collection techniques, 2) the lithic artifacts, debitage, ceramics, and other collected materials, and 3) the effects that erosion have had on the site.
