Book excerpt: This literature search and records review of the Upper Mississippi River Basin (River Mile 857.6, above St. Anthony Falls, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Minnesota to Lock & Dam 10, (Guttenberg, Iowa) was authorized by the St. Paul District Corps of Engineers as part of its master plan for the 9-foot navigation project. The objectives of the investigation were to: 1. conduct a comprehensive review of existing records and review published and unpublished literature; 2. provide an evaluation of recorded cultural resources; and 3. prepare a detailed technical and popular report. Volume 11 focuses on Pool 10, Guttenberg Iowa. A staggering 333 archaeological sites have been reported in the study are in the Pool 10 environs. This is clearly an artifact of both collector and research bias and should not be interpreted as a realistic differential density of archaeological sites relative to pools 1-9. A single historic district, the St. Feriole Archaeological and Historic District in Prairie du Chien, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and two additional districts in the City of Guttenberg, Iowa are currently pending.
