Summary
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) "Geoarchaeology in the Upper Mississippi Valley” project, conducted for the St. Paul District, investigated depositional processes and archaeological site formation in valley margin contexts of the Upper Mississippi River valley. The goal was to evaluate the types of depositional processes that commonly occur on valley margins, study their timing, and assess the range of impacts that these processes may have had on archaeological site taphonomy and burial.
Particular emphasis was given to identifying and understanding depositional cycles and how these may have structured archaeological site burial. The project was to aid the USACE in making more knowledgeable management decisions concerning cultural resources.
The report also includes data that will allow for more informed decisions concerning where, when, and how to deep test these valley margins contexts, what landforms to target, and what landforms will be unlikely to contain (or preserve) buried archaeological sites. This ARRA funded Task Order employed 20 cultural resource management specialists.
