Book excerpt: 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 conduct a comprehensive review of existing records and review published and unpublished literature; 2.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. Site-specific information was compiled for both historic and prehistoric sites from state agencies in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, and from various local and regional institutions. More than 1,000 historically or architecturally significant sites and districts, and more than 1,400 prehistoric archaeological components were recorded and plotted on base maps. From the site configurations and from other data collected during the course of the records and literature review, a narrative framework for the interpretation of historic and prehistoric sites was developed. Recommendations to enhance the management of the archaeological and historical data base were provided. Apparently historical and architectural indentification of properties in the Pool 9 study area has not been extensive. Only 3 properties have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places and a fourth is pending. In addition, the total number listed in the inventory is 81 historical/architectural sites; the vast majority which are located within the limits of the City of Lansing, Iowa. The total number of archaeological sites is slightly larger, the inventory list totaling 91 known occurrences. (Author).
