  The Loess Hills

  Glenwood Culture Research

Analysis of pottery from three Glenwood Culture sites of the Nebraska variant of the Central Plains tradition was completed in 2010 and
published as Contract Completion Report 1700 of the Office of the State Archaeologist of Iowa. My colleague, Stephen C. Lensink,
and I were awarded an Iowa DOT Transportation Enhancement grant in 2011 that will lead to the analysis and completion of reports
on 15 Glenwood earth lodges that were excavated 40 years ago.  My Iowa colleagues and I along with Professor emeritus James L. Theler
are also completing the final report on the Wall Ridge site, 13ML176.

            

         This spring I completed the digitization of the Archives of Archaeology series. The project
         was funded by a grant from the College of Liberal Studies, UW-L and reported in the
         SAA Archaeological Record.                              

 

 

  A Guide to Projectile Points of Iowa

 

 The University of Iowa Press published these  guides as laminated map-like fold outs for ease in the field with beautiful pictures by UW-L graduate Christian Driver. The images are full-size and are accompanied with locational information, date range of use, chert type and catalog number. The guides contain tips on point identification and responsible collecting.
