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.

Book excerpt: This is a story about a highway project near the small town of Wever, Iowa, and an American Indian village that existed at the location prior to the Europeans' arrival. The culture that lived in this village existed in a 10 state region of the Upper Midwest and may have been the ancestors of tribes living in the Midwest when European explorers entered the region. An archaeological recovery of information from the site was undertaken by the Iowa Department of Transportation because four-lane construction of U.S. 61 could not be accomplished without destroying most of the site. This site proved to be one of the richest archaeological finds in the State of Iowa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation More mounds were built by ancient Native American societies in Wisconsin than in any other region of North America -- between 15,000 and 20,000 mounds, at least 4,000 of which remain today. Most impressive are the effigy mounds, huge earthworks sculpted into the shapes of birds, animals, and other forms, not found anywhere else in the world in such concentrations. This book, written for general readers but incorporating the most recent research, offers a comprehensive overview of these intriguing earthworks and answers the questions, Who built the mounds? When and why were they built?Using evidence drawn from archaeology, ethnography, ethnohistory, linguistics, and the traditions and beliefs of present-day Native Americans in the Midwest, archaeologists Birmingham and Eisenberg offer an important new interpretation of the effigy mound groups as "cosmological maps" that model ancient belief systems and social relations. Although the archaeological record indicates that most ancient Native American societies in the upper Midwest built mounds between about 800 B.C. and A.D. 1200, the effigy mounds bear such similarity to the beliefs and clan structures of the Ho-Chunk, Ioway, and closely related nations that it is extremely likely that these people are descendants of the effigy mound builders. Indian Mounds of Wisconsin includes a travel guide to sites in Wisconsin that can be visited by the public, including many in state, county, and local parks.
