Phase II Cultural Resources Investigations at Selected Sites at the Eau Galle Recreation Area in St. Croix County, Wisconsin.

Abstract

Phase II investigations were undertaken at the Eau Galle Recreation Area in St. Croix county, Wisconsin. Of six prehistoric sites tested, five were found to be extensively disturbed from pre-reservoir cultivation activities. The sixth site (Lamb-5; Sc25) had previously been documented as having in situ late Archaic remains. The 1985 testing at the latter site demonstrated that the in situ cultural deposits remain above the water table, and are in good condition for research. Given the uniqueness of Lamb-5 at the Eau Galle locality and for west-central Wisconsin, the site is recommended for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Keywords: Archaeology, Reservoirs.
