An Iowa town gets a view of a prehistoric settlement in their area. If additional information is found a site will be created for Eisele Hill on the Portal. Information on the exhibit follows:
"Ancient artifacts featured at exhibit in Iowa
Beginning this month, visitors can view relics at the Muscatine Art Center (Iowa, USA). Artifacts left behind thousands of years ago are being displayed Jan. 14-April 1. The history treasures were
discovered during an excavation that was conducted in 1998 on
Muscatine's Eisele Hill by Bear Creek Archeology Inc. of Cresco. The site was located in what is known as the 'McNeal Fan,' part of a grouping of prehistoric sites where people lived thousands of years ago.
Last year, the excavation report was finished and the Eisele Hill artifacts were permanently housed at The Office of the State Archaeologist at the University of Iowa. Now those items are on loan
to the Muscatine Art Center.
The excavation produced artifacts dating to the Middle Archaic Period, (5,500-3,000 BCE) and the Early Woodland Period (800 -200 BCE). Discoveries from two sub-periods within those periods - the
later part of the Middle Archaic Period and the later part of the Early Woodland Period - are featured in the exhibit, although artifacts from other time segments also were found.
