The goals of <br />this project include: <br />. Conduct a public archaeology program <br />.

Our team has 50 years <br />combined experience in archaeology, including industrial archaeology, and working with <br />the public. <br /> <br />PROJECT~AGEMENT <br />Amanda Gronhovd will serve as Principal Investigator for the excavations in Elk River <br />(please see Attachment 1: Qualifications). Ms Gronhovd will conduct and supervise all <br />project work, provide oversight, quality control, logistical coordination, and consultation <br />to researchers and excavators, and will coordinate and consult with the City of Elk River <br />on a daily or weekly basis as necessary. She will also manage the assessment, provide <br />National Register eligibility recommendations, and write the report. <br /> <br />LITERATURE AND ARCHIVAL RESEARCH <br />10,000 Lakes Archaeology will conduct literature and archival research at the State <br />Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), the Minnesota Historical Society (MHS) and other <br />appropriate institutions, and agencies. County and city histories, the SHPO site files, <br />topographic maps, aerial photographs, Trygg maps, and historic plat maps are examples <br />of sources that might be consulted during this phase of the assessment. This background <br />research will allow archaeologists to place the site into its appropriate cultural and <br />historical context before conducting fieldwork. The final report will include specific <br />resources examined and the results of that research. <br /> <br />FIELDWORK <br />10,000 Lakes Archaeology is enthusiastic about the prospect of facilitating a public <br />archaeology program for the City of Elk River. Investigations at the site chosen for the <br />public excavations will attempt to define the site's extent, chronology, and function by <br />conducting goo-physics surveys, archaeological excavation, and historical research. <br /> <br />10,000 14kes Atchaeology <br />1 <br />
