A Literature and Records Search on the Cultural Resources of the Portage, Wisconsin Area
Abstract
In Fall, 1979, the author conducted a literature and records search on the cultural resources of the Portage, Wisconsin area. Despite the relative dearth of professional archaeological investigations in the area, the author complied a list of 131 prehistoric or historic American Indian sites, suggesting that the project area has some considerable archaeological potential. The author also complied a list of 137 sites or structions of historical and/or architectural interest. The survey determined that the historic resources indicate the importance of the area in the early history of Wisconsin from the days of the French explorers into the period of the early development of the state.
