Cultural Resource Investigation of Six Minnesota Properties. Phase 1

摘要

The report is the culmination of six separate Phase I Cultural ResourceReconnaissance surveys conducted by BRW, Inc. for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service during October and November of 1990. The six separate project sites are as follows: Carlson Tract (Harvey Waterfowl Production Area, Meeker Co.), Kalkbrenner Tract (Tyrone Flats Waterfowl Area, Meeker Co.), Mallin Tract (West Union Waterfowl Production Area, Todd Co.), Marvel Tract (Hamden Slough NWR, Becker Co.), Flat Lake, (Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge, Becker Co.), and Dale Johnson Property (Prior Township, Big Stone Co.). The report details the results of the pre-field records review, field investigation, and laboratory analysis of data collected during the Phase I surveys. All reconnaissance procedures were conducted in compliance with the standards set forth by the State Historic Preservation Office, the Council for Minnesota Archaeology, and the Stage Archaeologist's Office. Archaeological material including Middle Woodland ceramics, flakes and a projectile point fragment were uncovered during the Flat Lake survey. The site will be recommended for Phase II investigation. No further investigation is recommended for any of the remaining project areas. A secondary flake was reconvened 10 meters outside of the Dale Johnson property on a deflated hillside and is recorded as an isolated find. No cultural materials or archaeological features were identified during the Carlson, Kalkbrenner, Mallin or Marvel surveys.
