The Archaeology of Oneota Villages and Community Building at Lake KoshkonongSince 1998, archaeologists studied ancient (AD 1100-1400) villages along Lake Koshkonong. Over time, we have examined houses, tools, and foods. This research has shed light on life at of these communities. This talk shares what we have learned so far. It will focus on how the Indigenous farmers built their community both literally and figuratively.
