Excerpt from The Wisconsin Archeologist: March, 1963 to December, 1965Well, there had been such a discovery on the hill to the west, a result of early gravel mining, but the chief had been buried near the horse, not on it, and it was reported in the Oshkosh Daily Northwestern on July 20, 1911. The find is described in the present report under the section on burials.This site again came to notice in 1958 when gravel mining operations were resumed and Neil Ostberg, of Milwaukee, began collecting activities as the stripping of the topsoil proceeded. When, in the spring of 1959, it appeared that the entire site would so'on be destroyed, Ostberg brought the situation to the writer's attention. Ostberg's collection from the site was remarkable in that it contained both aboriginal artifacts and trade materials of the early historic period. The pottery was unlike any of the known Wisconsin types, and, in View of the presence of trade goods, it appeared as if this might be a village site of one of the Central Algonkian tribes which had fled to Wisconsin from their former habitat east of Lake Michigan during the period of the Iroquois wars.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
