INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT BACKGROUND
Introduction
The Data Recovery Plan (hereafter, Plan) presented
in this document was designed by Cultural Resource
Management at the University of Wisconsin -
Milwaukee, Department of Anthropology (UWM-
CRM) on behalf of the City of Oshkosh relative
to archaeological site 47WN0049 Golf Course.
The Golf Course site is being treated as eligible for
listing in the National Register of Historic Places
NRNP) (Haas et al. 2017). Future development
of the Lakeshore Golf Course will result in an
adverse effect to a portion of the Golf Course site
471WN0049). Data recovery is an appropriate
technique for this archaeological site. The Plan will
serve as mitigation to offset and reduce the adverse
effect pursuant to Wisconsin Statute 44.40 (3).
The Plan follows those procedures and methods
stipulated in the Guide for Public Archeology, as
Revised (2012). This Plan was reviewed by the State
Historic Preservation Office and the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources (WisDNR)
Historic Preservation Officer for compliance with
Wisconsin Statute 44.40.
Project Location and Setting
The Golf Course site is located along a sandy ridge
along the south shore of Lake Butte des Mortes near
the Fox River outlet (Figure 1, Figure 2). The site
is within Section 10 of Township 18 North, Range
15 East within the City of Oshkosh, Winnebago
County, Wisconsin.
In a regional perspective, the project area occurs
within the Middle Fox River Passageway, a riverine-
lacustrine network that links the Great Lakes to the
Mississippi River Valley (Figure 3). The portage
between the Upper Fox and Wisconsin Rivers, at
the present day city of Portage, connected these
major regions for millennia. This drainage system
encompasses the Wolf and Upper Fox Rivers,
including the Upper Fox and Wolf River headwaters,
Lake Winnebago, and the Lower Fox River. Several
lakes also occur within this riverine-lacustrine
network, notably Lake Poygan, Winneconne, and
Butte des Mortes. Populations and trade networks
moved goods and ideas, and human groups
themselves, over considerable distances using this
network (Overstreet et al. 2004).
The Middle Fox River Passageway harbors a dense
concentration of archaeological sites from Paleoindan
circa 12,000 BP) to historic times. Historic evidence
documents occupation by the Menominee, Ho
Chunk, Potawatomi, Fox, Sauk, Kickapoo, Oneida,
Stockbridge-Munsee, Huron -Ottawa, Ojibwa,
and Iowa during the 17th through 19th centuries
Overstreet et al. 2004). The waterway was likely a
key variable in concentrating populations at various
strategic locations in the extensive communication
network. The high resource density, including wild
rice, fisheries, waterfowl, and upland game, has
been cited as contributing to the prehistoric and
historic occupation of the region. The abundance
of this habitat was attractive to hunting and
gathering. populations and those later sustained by
the horticultural trilogy of corn, beans, and squash
Overstreet et al. 2004).
Description and Significance of
the Golf Course Site (47WN0049)
The Golf Course site was reported in 1925 as "shell
heaps near the Fox River" (Brown 1925). Additional
artifacts reported in 1993 include an iron pipe
tomahawk fragment (WHPD 2017).
In 2017, archaeological investigations within
the Lakeshore golf coarse identified 47WN0049
as an extensive Late Woodland campsite/village
encompassing 13 acres (Haas et al. 2017). Cultural

material from the site consists of chipped stone
tools and waste flakes, grit -tempered pottery,
faunal fragments (calcined and unmodified), and
fire -cracked rock. Chipped stone tools (scrapers)
and debitage are made from local cherts and non -
local silicified sandstone. The cord -impression and
wall thickness of some of the pottery suggests a
Late Woodland (AD 900 to 1400) affiliation. The
artifact bearing deposits occur within the Ap horizon
and underlying undisturbed soils. Although the site
has been impacted by agricultural activities (that
occurred prior to 1898), the site has been effectively
preserved over the years as encapsulated within a
City -owned golf coarse, escaping destruction from
recurrent plowing and urban development.
Diagnostic ceramic forms have been recovered
from 47WN0049 along with animal remains, stone
tools, fire -cracked rock, and waste flakes. Inferred
site activities consist of stone tool production and
maintenance, cooking, and resource processing.
The material deposits reflect high artifact densities
and diversity as well as good preservation of ecofacts
plant and animal remains).
Data Recovery Nan for 47WN0049 Golf Course Site
Site 47WN0049 retains integrity of location and
setting as well as stratigraphic integrity of the
cultural deposits. The presence of cord -impressed
grit tempered pottery establishes the integrity of
association as the site is able to address important
research questions relative to the Late Woodland
period. These research themes include: 1) cultural
dynamics, chronology, and temporal relationships;
2) diagnostic artifacts and material culture; 3)
settlement patterns and subsistence patterns; 4)
lithic raw material use and lithic technology; and
5) regional interaction and trade. Site 47WN0049
retains integrity and has the potential to provide
important information relative to the prehistoric
period in the region. As such, site 47WN0049
meets the criteria for listing in the NRHP under
Criterion D.

RESEARCH DESIGN
Introduction
The research strategy to mitigate the adverse effect
that would be caused to the archaeological site from
the future development consists of using material
culture to address specific research questions that
relate to the regional prehistory. Although the
research questions focus on the Late Woodland
period, they themes are broadly applicable to other
components that may be represented at the site.
The research questions will serve as a guide for
the data recovery operations but may be altered to
accommodate research findings during the course of
the field and laboratory investigations.
Late Woodland Overview
The Late Woodland period (circa AD 900 to 1400)
is generally characterized as a time of rapid culture
change, social reorganization, and concomitant
increase in population size and density (Overstreet
et al. 2004; Salzer 1986). Settlements occurred
along river valleys and in upland setting, consisting
of fairly permanent villages, seasonal hunting camps,
and support camps. The construction of burial
mounds, often in animal (effigy) shape, continued
in Wisconsin, northeast Iowa, and northern Illinois.
Horticulture became increasingly important to
the Late Woodland economy, demonstrated by
the diversity of cultigens recovered from many
archaeological sites. By AD 1000, maize agriculture
had spread to the northern limits of its range.
Ceramic wares include those associated with Hein's
Creek, Effigy Mound, and late Late Woodland
collared wares (Baerries and Freeman 1958; Hurley
1975; Mason 1966). Projectile points of this period
are characteristically small and triangular.
The extensive institutional and private collections
from the region provide ample support that the
Pldn for 47WN0049 Golf Course Site
Middle Fox River Passageway was continuously
occupied in prehistoric and historic times. Regional
interpretations have been hindered, however, by a
lack of published survey, testing, and excavation
data (Overstreet et al. 2004). Numerous sites with
Late Woodland occupations have been identified
within the Middle Fox River Passageway, however
few have been subjected to extensive excavation
and publication) with Mason (1966), Hurley
1975), and Overstreet et al. (2004) representing
a few of the notable exceptions. A number of Late
Woodland mounds were excavated in the 1920s and
1930s by the Milwaukee Public Museum. Although
these studies provide information regarding mound
construction and burial practices, they do not
speak to domestic lifeways, settlement, subsistence,
and, community organization (Salzer 1986). Both
Salzer (1986:242), and more recently Overstreet et
al. (2004) stress the critical need for excavation of
Late Woodland settlements to address to further
the understanding of domestic lifeways and cultural
dynamics.
Recent excavations at sites occupying the uplands
along Lake Butte des Mortes have identified small
Late Woodland camps (satellite camps) for the
hunting and processing of game as well as local plant
and nut resources (Dickerson et al. 2001; Dickerson
and Meinholz 2009; Reckner et al. 2009). These
satellite camps are assumed to be part of a larger
settlement system that included large base camps
along the Butte des Mortes Lakeshore (Dickerson
and Meinholz 2009). The archaeological deposits
from the Golf Course (47WN0049) site may
represent a Late Woodland base camp containing
important information that can be used to address a
number of research questions.

Research Questions
A number of research questions, pertaining to
culture history and chronology, diagnostic artifacts
and material culture, site activities and function,
subsistence economy, settlement patterns, and inter -
and intra -regional interaction will be addressed
through the material culture at the Golf Course site.
The material culture will include artifacts, ecofacts,
and cultural features recovered during data recovery
operations.
The primary goal of archaeological data recovery
at the Golf Course site is to systematically and
scientifically excavate a portion of the site, using
modern archaeological methods of recovery and
documentation, to mitigate the impacts to the
site that would be caused by the future project
development. By implementing a program of
archaeological data recovery at the property, it is
possible to mitigate the adverse effect that would
be caused to the archaeological site from the future
development. Prior to the archaeological data
recovery operations, a carefully developed research
design is necessary in order to define and describe
the objectives and methods to be used during the.
field recovery and subsequent laboratory analysis
and interpretation. These research questions are
intended to be broad enough to allow for refinement
during the course of the excavations and analysis.
Culture History and Chronology
Culture history and chronology remain central to
research in current archaeology in eastern Wisconsin
Overstreet et at. 2004; Salzer 1986). Reliable
cultural historical constructs are entirely dependent
upon accurate cultural chronologies, grounded
in the sound application of absolute and relative
dating techniques. In this regard, studies of artifact
style are important in terms of identifying related
components and defining basic cultural -historical
units. Culture history can be initially addressed by
determining which components and occupations
are present, and well represented, at site the Golf
Course site.
Chronology is particularly important relative to the
social landscape during the Late Woodland period.
The Middle Fox River Passageway contains a high
density of Late Woodland and Oneota sites. The
relationship of the Late Woodland populations to
Oneota populations is not fully understood and
continues to be a matter of debate (Boszhardt
1998; Bruhy 2002; Mason 1990, 1992; Overstreet
2001). Much of the debate revolves around the
interpretation of early radiocarbon dates and
sociocultural mechanisms (Boszhardt 1998; Bruhy
2002; Mason 1990, 1992). Some contend that Late
Woodland populations rapidly transformed their
material culture, settlement, subsistence patterns,
and social organizations to "become" Oneota
Theler and Boszhardt 2000). In contrast, others
suggest that two prehistoric cultures are not linked
in a simple unilinear evolutionary manner, meaning
that one culture rapidly replaced the other (Bruhy
2002; Mason 1966, 1990, 1992; Overstreet 2001).
In order to develop appropriate culture histories for
the region, a necessary first step is to determine the
specific cultural components (and to what extent)
that are represented at the site and then to firmly
associate these occupations with radiometric dates.
In eastern Wisconsin, chronological and culture -
historical assessments are typically accomplished
through three techniques: radiocarbon dating;
comparative analysis of temporally -culturally
diagnostic artifacts (stone tools and ceramics); and
stratigraphic correlations. These data then can be
used for comparison with the existing cultural -
historical frameworks for eastern Wisconsin.
The archaeological mitigation at the Golf Course
site will be directed towards the recovery and analysis
of materials, within feature context, for radiocarbon
dating. In situ features have a good potential to
provide adequate samples for radiocarbon dating
from charred plant and animal remains. Organic
residue encrusted on earthenware vessels provides
another source for dating. In addition, studies of
diagnostic stone tools and ceramic styles will be
used to identify and help clarify cultural -historical
relationships.
8 Data Recovery Plan for 47WN0049 Golf Course Site
The previous investigations at the Golf Course
site have identified a Late Woodland component.
Specific research questions relating to Culture
History and Chronology include:
What cultural historical pbases can be associated with the
identified components?
lk%hat are the ages of the archaeological complexes
represented at the sites and how do they fit within the
known chronologv of eastern IVisconsin?
117hat are the dater of the Late iF'oodland component.
How do these dates correlate with other dates securedfor
the region (Overstreet et al. 2004; Reckner et al. 2009;
Dickerson et al. 2001)?
Diagnostic Artifacts and Material
Culture
Diagnostic artifacts, including lithic and ceramic
stylistic attributes, are critical components in the
development of cultural historical and chronological
frameworks. Paleoindian, Archaic, Woodland,
Oneota, and Historic occupations have been
identified in and around Lake Buttes des Mortes
and eastern Wisconsin. Patterned stone tools and
ceramics represent the two artifact classes that
provide the most information in relation to stylistic
variation in the archaeological record of the region.
Examining variation is central to making certain
temporal inferences and cultural -historical linkages
between identified occupations and regionally
defined cultural complexes.
What diagnostic artifact types, inclusive of patterned
stone tools and cerwvic wares, are present at the Golf
Course site?.How do these types relate to artifacts from
other sites in the Middle Fox River Passageway, sites
along Lake Buttes des [Mortes and the more broadl1,
defined eastern 11'71consin region?
Can diagnostic lith. icr and ceramics identify ipecifac
oempations at the Golf Course site?
Do the diagnostic forms from the Golf Course site
compare to other well excavated sites in the region?
low do the diaguo, ticfirms from the Golf Course
site compare to those used to define the regional Late
Wloodland phases?
Site Activities and Function
Site activities represented at a site are indicated by
the form, location, and contents of cultural features
and the horizontal distribution of artifacts associated
with features. Specific questions regarding site
activities have been developed for the Golf Course
site:
IL"hat is the spatial organi gtion of the identifiable
activity areas within the site, including areas of tool
manufacture, food preparation, food storage, and hozlsing.
Is there evidence for residential complexes (Reclener et al.
2009)?
What is the function of the Golf Course time? Does the
function vary or remain constant through time?
A'l'hat activities can be inferred from the boritiontal
distribution of artifacts and other materials recovered
from the Go f Course site?
How do the site activities inform abollt the si: e and
composition of the socialgroups that used the site?
Subsistence Economy
Subsistence practices refer to the acquisition of
resources, inclusive of foodstuffs and raw materials,
necessary to maintain life. Well preserved faunal
remains and floral macro -remains, especially those
from feature contexts, can be used to address the
subsistence pursuits of the site occupants. Ceramic
vessels and tool forms can also inform about
subsistence related activities.
117hat plant and animal resources were used at the Golf
Course .rite?
Is there evidence• for native culligens? lFhat is the
evidence for tropical cultigens? If so, when do they appear
and what role do 117g play in the subsistence economy?
Is there evidence for change in resource utikrtiation over
City of Oshkosh, Winnebago County 9
time? If so, wbat emironmental or cultural factors
influence those changer?
Settlement Patterns
Settlement patterns define ways in which people
occupy and distribute themselves across the
landscape in order to acquire or produce subsistence
goods, including food and other raw materials,
necessary to sustain life. By determining site function
and activities that occurred at the site, seasonality of
site occupation, landscape and geomorphic setting,
and inter -site comparisons, it is possible to develop
models of settlement behavior.
What settlement patterns can be inferred fi-om the Late
W%odland occupations?
How do these settlement patterns relate to the local
environment?
What is the relatinoship of the settlement along the
lakeshore to the satellite camps that have been identified
in more inland settings?
Inter -Regional and Intra -Regional
Interaction
Inter- and intra -regional interaction can be inferred
from artifact style as well as the presence of non -
local materials in the artifact assemblage. Non -local
materials would indicate contact, either directly or
indirectly, between peoples occupying sites in the
region and other groups. An attempt to understand
prehistoric trade and the extent of prehistoric trade
networks can be made by identifying non -local
materials and their likely source or origin. Stylistic
attributes, especially on ceramic vessels, may be
another way to infer interaction.
What is the nature of the cultural dynamics during
the Late Woodland period? What is the evidence for•
interaction with Oneota (Upper Mississippian) groups?

RESEARCH METHODS AND PERSONNEL
Introduction
The following narrative describes the field and
laboratory methodology and techniques that will
be used during the archaeological mitigation of
the Golf Course site. The research methods follow
those standards promulgated by the Wisconsin
Archaeological Survey in the Guide for Public
Archeology in Wisconsin, as Revised (Dudzik et al.
2012).
The Golf Course site encompasses 13 acres. Of this
total, six acres will be preserved in place and remain
within City of Oshkosh ownership. Seven acres
will be subjected to archaeological data recovery.
It is proposed that the full seven acres be subjected
archaeological data recovery in order to address all
objectives for the project. As such, 100 percent of
the site area within the development footprint, or
54 percent to the total site area, will be subjected to
archaeological data recovery.
The primary objective of the investigations is
to scientifically excavate and recover cultural
material, inclusive of in situ features, artifacts,
and ecofacts, that would be destroyed by future
project development. The secondary objective is to
avoid impacting culturally sensitive archaeological
deposits during construction. Given the intensity of
habitation of the region throughout prehistory, and
known burial sites around Lake Butte des Mortes,
there is potential for such features to existing within
the development footprint. Data recovery of the
entire project footprint will avoid inadvertent
discoveries during construction.
Field Methods
Permitting
Two permits will be required for the archaeological
data recovery field invetigations. As the Golf Course
site (47WN0049) is situated on City of Oshkosh
owned lands, a Public Lands Permit from the
Wisconsin Historical Society will be obtained.
Given the amount of area that will be excavated,
UWM-CRM will consult with the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources to secure the
necessary permits for the ground disturbance.
Shovel Testing
Prior to mechanical excavation (see below), shovel
testing will be conducted across the site area at five
meter intervals. The purpose of the shovel testingwill
be to recover material culture, from the disturbed
plowzone horizon, as well as to assess the spatial
patterning across the site. The horizontal patterning
of artifact type and density will supplement the
results of the mechanical excavation, providing
contextual information for the identified cultural
features.
Mechanical Excavation
Mechanical stripping will use a single -tracked
backhoe equipped with a five foot wide, toothless
bucket. The modern fill and plow zone horizon will
be removed in approximate 10 centimeter thick
layers down to the top of the B horizon. Soil stains
will be fully exposed with a trowel and flat shovel,
and potential features will be marked with pin flags.

Excavation of Features and Artifact
Concentrations
All features encountered during the course of the
investigations will be excavated according to strict
parameters to control contamination of the matrix
and to retain as much information about the
feature as possible. Every feature will be provided
an individual lot number, which will be used in
reference to all cultural residue, soil, carbon and
flotation samples, and all other material recovered
from analysis. Exposed features will be defined,
photographed, mapped in plan view and geo-
referenced to a site datum using a total station.
All features will be mapped in planview, cross
sectioned, and mapped in profile. After the feature
is mapped and photographed, the feature is bisected
along its longest axis. A portion of the feature will be
excavated in mass and screened through one-quarter
inch hardware mesh. Once half of the feature is
removed, a "window" will be excavated to reveal the
profile of the feature. The profile will be mapped,
photographed, and measured from the unit datum.
After the shape of the feature is recorded, the
remaining half of the feature will be excavated with
a portion saved as a flotation sample (at least one
liter) and the remaining portion screened through
one-quarter inch mesh. Flotation samples are
processed at the UWM Archaeological Research
Laboratory using a Flote-TechTM multi -modal
water separation devices.
Field Documentation
Standard field documentation will be completed
including: field notebook, lot number book, unit
level forms, unit summary forms, feature forms,
and log books (photography, C-14 sample, soil
sample, flotation sample). A site notebook will
be maintained in which all forms and associated
documentation will be kept, and the general progress
of the excavation and observations will be recorded
in a log book maintained by the field supervisor.
Data Recovery Platt for 47WN0049 Golf Course Site
Sampling for Specialized Analysis
A representative sample of matrix collected from
feature and non -feature contexts will be collected
in the field for subsequent specialized analyses
including micro -faunal, paleoethnobotanical,
geomorphological, and radiocarbon dating. The
procedures for sample collection and subsequent
handling vary according to the specific requirements
of the analysis.
Flotation Sample Processing
Flotation samples collected during the course of the
excavations will be placed in ventilated sand bags.
Provenience information will be written directly on
the sand bag, on a tag placed inside the bag, and on
a paper tag affixed to the outside of the bag. Prior to
flotation, all sand bags will be allowed to thoroughly
dry and the volume of each sample will be recorded.
Flotation samples will be processed using a Flot Tech
machine at the University of Wisconsin -Milwaukee
Archaeological Research Laboratory. The light
fraction will be captured in a brass geological sieve,
40 mesh per inch, lined with tightly woven nylon.
The heavy fraction will be captured in a 1.0 mm
mesh and then placed on tightly woven mesh and/
or muslin. Both the light and heavy fraction will
be allowed to thoroughly dry. Care will be taken
to avoid too rapid drying of the light and heavy
fractions that can lead to breakage of the delicate
macro -botanical remains.
Samples for Radiocarbon Assays
Samples will be collected, when possible, for
radiocarbon assays. Pieces of charred floral material
will be removed using a trowel and then placed in
an aluminum foil bag. Appropriate samples will be
sent to the University of Georgia Center for Applied
Isotope Study for AMS dating.
City of Oshkosh, Winnebago Courcy 13
Accidental Discovery of Human Remains
If human remains are discovered, the treatment of
burial related discoveries will comply with Wisconsin
Statute 157.70. Any such finds will be considered
within the category of a "known uncatalogued
burial site," and a Wisconsin Historic Preservation
Division standard contract for treatment of human
remains will be followed.
Laboratory Methods and Analysis
All artifacts, samples, maps, records, notes and other
project documentation generated during the field
investigations will be brought to the UWM-CRM
Archaeological Research Laboratory in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. Laboratory staff will process the artifacts
and samples according to standard laboratory
procedures.
Initial Procedures
Initial procedures involve generating a laboratory
log, Icleaning, and rebagging. The laboratory log
sheet cross checks the field lot numbers with actual
artifact and sample bags entering the laboratory.
Artifact cleaning includes gentle dry brushing and
water processing. Finally, all artifacts, following
cleaning, are removed from their paper field bag
and placed in an archivally stable zip lock plastic
bag. Provenience information from the paper bag
is transcribed onto the plastic bag and the original
information clipped and placed inside the plastic
bag.
Ceramic Analysis
Following Rice (1987) and Sinopli (1991), ceramics
in this study will be treated at the vessel unit of
analysis as functional tools. The Madison ware
typology follows that laid out by Baerreis (1952,
1953) and Keslin (1958), as well as more recent
studies (Richards 1992; Rosebrough 2010; Zych
2013). Vessels are described primarily in terms
of attributes, acknowledging the limitations of
typological systems.
Vessel and body sherds will be initially separated;
body sherds are those that are not distinguishable as
basal or shoulder sherds. Undecorated body sherds
will be assessed for temper and surface treatment,
then counted and weighed. Ceramic fragments
smaller than the diameter of a penny will be
assessed for temper only. Rim sherds and decorated
body sherds will be checked for cross -mends. Rim
sherds will be the basis for assigning unique vessel
designations.
Vessels will be assessed in terms of morphological
characteristics, paste characteristics, surface
treatment and decorative treatment following
current conventions. Morphological characteristics
considered will include vessel form, rim form and
lip form.
Lithic Analysis
The Lithic analysis will be based on Jeske (2014) and
Lurie and Jeske (1990). All pieces of chipped stone
will be examined for cultural modification (flaking,
battering, and use -wear) tinder IN magnification.
Tools will be classified as pieces of stone or debitage
that show evidence of further cultural modification.
Regional guides, along with comparative collections
at the University of Wisconsin -Milwaukee
Archaeological Research Laboratory, will be used to
identify Lithic raw materials. The schema will entail
recording contextual information, metric attributes,
and several variables intended to generate data related
to raw material use and technology. This model
allows for easy comparison between assemblages, is
time efficient, and does not assume tool function.
Two levels of analysis will be conducted on the
assemblage: mass debitage analysis and individual
tool analysis.
Faunal Analysis
During the initial inventory stage, faunal remains
are sorted into unidentifiable and identifiable
remains; the identifiable remains will be subjected
to further analysis. Faunal data will be recorded
on small acid -free tags, which are citrated along
14
side the faunal material. The data recovered for
each bone fragment will include the following
fields: Lot/Catalogue Number, Count, Weight (in
grams, to the nearest hundredth), Class (mammal,
bird, reptile, amphibian, fish, mollusk), Taxon
taxonomic identification to the family, genets, or
species level), Element (body part- femur, lumbar
vertebrae, upper 2nd molar, etc.), Side (left ,
right, axial), Representation (portion of element
present), Ephiphysis (state of ephiphyseal union,
when applicable), Taphonomy (cultural or natural
modifications), Size Grade, Comments.
The primary data recording will be conducted at the
laboratory. Identifications will be made in reference
to comparative collections and in consultation with
reference texts. Faunal assemblages will be quantified
using the Number of Identified Specimen (NISP) a -
and Minimum Number of Individuals (MNI).
Flora( Ana lysis-Macrorema ins
One of the main research objectives for the
project is to obtain information with regard to the
procurement, processing, and disposition of plant
remains by the past occupants of the sites. To this
end, flotation samples will be collected from each
cultural feature identified during the Phase III
mitigation. It is expected that the flotation samples
will yield a significant amount of wood charcoal
and plant macroremains that can provide insight
as to the subsistence economy and seasonality of
occupation for each cultural component.
Analytical Methods
The processed flotation samples will be analyzed at
the laboratory in Milwaukee. A complete inventory
of all flotation samples will be initially completed.
Observation and experimentation has shown that
many plant remains sink during water flotation,
especially when they are caught up in matrix or
waterlogged (Wagner 1988:21). Because of this,
both the heavy and light fractions will be analyzed
for botanical remains. Throughout the entire
laboratory process, the flotation light fraction and
Data Recovery Plan for 47WN0049 Golf Course Site
the flotation heavy fraction will be kept separate.
This is done to provide further data concerning
recovery techniques. Consequently, in the following
description of the laboratory methodology, each step
is applied to the flotation heavy and the flotation
light fraction separately. However, the information
from the heavy and light fraction from each
flotation sample will be combined prior to further
analysis and interpretation. Both the heavy and the
light fraction, are thoroughly dried, and are passed
through a 2.0 mm brass geological sieve. All charred
botanical material from the greater than 2.0 mm
size grade is sorted into nut, wood, resin, and seed
categories. The seeds are identified to family, and
if possible, to genus. Each taxa is then counted and
weighed. All wood that is greater than 2.0 mm in size
is counted and weighed. In addition, identifications
to genus is made on a subsample of 20 randomly
selected wood fragments that are greater than 2.8
mm (Pearsall 2000). The material in the smallest
size grade (< 2.0 mm) are scanned tinder a binocular
microscope (IOX-30X). For large flotation samples,
a subsample, sampled using a riffle sorter, of this size
grade is scanned. All charred seeds and seed fragments
from this size grade are removed, identified, and
tabulated. Although the presence of wood, nut, and
amorphous fragments are recorded for this size grade
2.0 mm fraction, these types of fragments are not
removed, quantified, or examined. Identifications
are made with aid of standard manuals (Martin and
Barkley 1961; Montgomery 1977) and in reference
to comparative specimens in the laboratory.
Nut fragments are identified by comparison of
general morphology to examples in the reference
collection. Seeds are identified by comparison of
characteristics such as size, shape, details of the
surface, hilium shape and placement, and embryo
type. Although large quantities of uncarbonized
plant remains may be present in the samples, only
the carbonized plant remains will be considered
for cultural interpretation. Previous studies have
demonstrated that uncarbonized plant materials
are rarely preserved at open air sites in temperate
environments (e.g. Asch and Asch 1985:343; Egan
1988). Consequently, uncarbonized seeds most
likely represent naturalized species that may be
City of Oshkosh, Winnebago County 15
recently intrusive. Small, uncarbonized seeds in
subsurface deposits accumulate by tumbling down
pores in the soil, or are transported by soil fauna.
Nonetheless, uncarbonized remains in the samples
will be noted, as these plant macro -remains may be
useful for the paleoecological interpretation.
Cataloguing
All cultural material will be assigned a unique lot
inventory number in the field. All artifacts from
each provenience within the site will be entered into
a database. The lot inventory number is written on
all artifacts in black India ink, with an undercoat and
topcoat of clear acrylic. All artifacts and associated
documentation will be temporarily stored at the
ARL laboratory in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Cura tion
All artifacts, notes, and documentation from the
archaeological data recovery efforts will be curated
at the University of Wisconsin -Milwaukee This
curation facility meets the requirements specified in
the Curation of Federally -Owned and Administered
Archaeological Collections, Federal Register,
Volume 55, No. 177, September 12, 1990 (36
CFR 79). The cost for the permanent curation is
the responsibility of the project sponsors and should
be included in the cost for the archaeological data
recovery efforts.
Reporting
Interim Updates
Over the course of the project, UWM-CRM will
provide the City with interim with updates via
email. During the field investigations, these interim
updates will occur weekly. Upon completion of
the field investigation portion of the project, the
frequency of the updates will be monthly.
Interim Field Report
Within one week of the completion of the field
investigations, UWM-CRM will provide a summary
of the mitigation activities and findings.
Draft Report
Three copies of the draft report of investigations will
be submitted within one year following completion
of the field investigations.
Final Report
One original and three hard copies of the final report
will be submitted within 30 days upon receipt of the
comments from the draft contract report. The final
report will incorporate all the comments made on
the draft report.
Final Submittal
Upon acceptance of the final report, all original
notes, records, and collections, including field
notes, field documentation, artifacts, and artifact
inventories, will be submitted to the curation
facility.
