Description
In 2012 highway construction in downtown Onalaska made national news when remains of a late pre-Contact Oneota village and cemetery site were uncovered under a busy city street. The scale of the finds was a surprise-- and a major challenge. UW-Lacrosse's Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center Projects director Katherine Stevenson will discuss the project, and how cooperation and communication was the key to a successful outcome.
