This book was released on 2001 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research conducted under this grant was for the development of a Pilot Archaeological Database (PAD) for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). The primary objective was to compile information on archaeological sites and to organize it in a centralized database for use by District 3 staff to comply with federal and state historic preservation legislation. The database would include information on archaeological sites in, or adjacent to, Interstate Highways (IH), United States Highways (USH), State Trunk Highways (STH), and County Trunk Highways (CTH). The study focused on three primary WisDOT District user groups: 1) Real Estate for the sale of excess lands; 2) Maintenance for the issuing of utility permits in highway right-of-way; and 3) Planning for use in the initial scoping of new transportation projects. As of 1998 there was no comprehensive and user friendly electronic information retrieval system for data generated during 40 years of archaeological research along Wisconsin's highways. Developing the database involved: 1) identifying user needs; 2) gathering all relevant data fields; 3) verifying the accuracy of the data; and 4) creating data tables structured to meet the needs of the users. This pilot project created a database for archaeological sites along the IH/USH/STH/CTH highway systems in northeastern Wisconsin.

Download or read book The Antiquities of Wisconsin as Surveyed and Described written by Increase Allen Lapham and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1855 and long out of print, The Antiquities of Wisconsin remains invaluable as a detailed record of Wisconsin's rich archaeological heritage of mounds and mound groups, many of which were later destroyed by farming and urban growth. Lapham was among the first scientists to produce evidence that the earthworks had been built by the ancestors of modern Native Americans, not some mythical "lost race," as was believed by many white authorities of the time. Modern researchers still use Lapham's maps and descriptions to locate vestiges of sites that once existed, or to help reconstruct Wisconsin's ancient cultural landscape. This edition includes a foreword by Wisconsin state archaeologist Robert A. Birmingham and an introduction by Robert P. Nurre, a Lapham scholar.

Download or read book Indian Mounds of Wisconsin written by Robert A. Birmingham and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2017-10-04 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More mounds were built by ancient Native Americans in Wisconsin than in any other region of North America—between 15,000 and 20,000, at least 4,000 of which remain today. Most impressive are the effigy mounds, huge earthworks sculpted in the shapes of thunderbirds, water panthers, and other forms, not found anywhere else in the world in such concentrations. This second edition is updated throughout, incorporating exciting new research and satellite imagery. Written for general readers, it offers a comprehensive overview of these intriguing earthworks. Citing evidence from past excavations, ethnography, the traditions of present-day Native Americans in the Midwest, ground-penetrating radar and LIDAR imaging, and recent findings of other archaeologists, Robert A. Birmingham and Amy L. Rosebrough argue that effigy mound groups are cosmological maps that model belief systems and relations with the spirit world. The authors advocate for their preservation and emphasize that Native peoples consider the mounds sacred places. This edition also includes an expanded list of public parks and preserves where mounds can be respectfully viewed, such as the Kingsley Bend mounds near Wisconsin Dells, an outstanding effigy group maintained by the Ho-Chunk Nation, and the Man Mound Park near Baraboo, the only extant human-shaped effigy mound in the world.
