Sand Lake

Onalaska, Wisconsin
This is not an official report. I was a member of the excavation team and I just want to claim space in "The Universe" for this research. This was an excavation in the summer of 1982 in the Sand Lake area north of Onalaska, Wis, along the flood plain of the Mississippi. We uncovered an Onoeota culture village. Features included fire pits, waste pits, and storage pits, as well as a few possible wattle-and daub walls.
The project was sponsored by the UW-LaCrosse.
This was a dig in a corn field, near the Mississippi River. Nothing special for our area. But it was an opportunity to take part in a scientific study, rigorously conducted, that studied another cuture, another time and another environment.
Leader, John Gallagher with assistance from Ernie {Bob] Bozhardts.
Sorry if you were expecting Indiana Jones, but this was real archaeology. Hard work,lots of sweat, and real science/
