About
The Upper Iowa River Oneota site complex is a series of 7 Iowa archaeological sites located within a few miles of each other in Allamakee County, Iowa, on or near the Upper Iowa River. They are all affiliated with the Late Prehistoric Upper Mississippian Oneota Orr focus. In some cases there are early European trade goods present, indicating occupation continued into the Protohistoric or early Historic period. All 7 sites were excavated in 1934 and 1936 by Dr. Charles Reuben Keyes and Mr. Elliason Orr: Lane Village site and mound group (13Ae18 and 13Ae19) Elephant Cemetery site (13Ae13) O'Regan Cemetery site (13Ae12) New Galena mound group (13Ae5) Hogback site / Flatiron terrace (13Ae3) Burke site (13Ae6) Woolstrom site / Flynn Cemetery (13Ae38) The full site report was produced in 1959 by Mildred Mott Wedel. Due to the cultural similarities and close proximities of the sites, the data were combined for analytical purposes.
