Synopsis:
This book breaks new ground in Oneota studies and Plains-Midwest archaeology in general. It presents a comprehensive report on a 14th-century village site in northwest Iowa. Highlights include documentation of several domestic dwellings plus detailed floral and faunal analyses, ceramic attribute studies, lithic analyses, site geomorphology, analysis of human remains recovered from the site, and an overview of Oneota in northwest Iowa. Investigations indicate the site's inhabitants engaged in bison hunting and maintained close ties with groups west of the Missouri River on the central Great Plains.
