Hastings Bridge Project, Dakota and Washington Counties, Minnesota PHASE I AND II ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS FOR THE TRUNK HIGHWAY 61 HASTINGS BRIDGE PROJECT, DAKOTA AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, MINNESOTA Mn/DOT Contract No. 92866, 92867 State Project No. 1913-64 Two Pines Resource Group No. 08-04, 08-05 SHPO No. 2008-2228 OSA License No. 08-034 Authorized and Sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration Prepared by: Michelle M. Terrell, Ph.D. Principal Investigator and Author Two Pines Resource Group, LLC 17711 260th Street Shafer, MN 55074 FINAL December 2008 TH 61 Hastings Bridge Project December 2008 Phase I and II Archaeological Investigations Page i MANAGEMENT SUMMARY From July to October of 2008, Two Pines Resource Group, LLC (Two Pines) completed a literature search and Phase I and II archaeological investigations for the Trunk Highway (TH) 61 Hastings Bridge Project in Washington and Dakota Counties, Minnesota. This work was performed under contract with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) for the Cultural Resource Unit of the department. The proposed project includes the replacement and/or rehabilitation of the TH 61 Bridge over the Mississippi River at Hastings. Separate reports were prepared for the geomorphological (Kolb 2008) and architectural history (Stark et al. 2008) studies performed for this project. The purpose of the Phase I and II archaeological investigations was to determine if the project’s area of potential effects (APE) contains any intact archaeological resources that may be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The APE was selected by Mn/DOT to encompass direct impacts from the construction of any of the bridge alternatives, as well as ancillary impacts including pond locations and areas of construction staging. The APE includes contiguous portions of the W ½ of the SE ¼, and the E ½ of the SW ¼ of Section 7 of Township 26 N, Range 20 W, and the NW ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 27, and the NE ¼ of the NE ¼ of Section 28 of Township 115 N, Range 17 W, as well as a separate staging area in the NE ¼ of the SE ¼, and the SE ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 21 of Township 115 N, Range 17 W. The project area is located within the Southeast Riverine West and Central Lakes Deciduous East archaeological sub-regions. Dr. Michelle Terrell served as the Principal Investigator. During the archaeological investigations for the TH 61 Hastings Bridge, three archaeological resources were identified. Of these sites, site 21DK0081, is recommended as eligible for listing in the NHRP. This site consists of foundations and stratified deposits from the third quarter of the nineteenth century associated with the former St. John Hotel and Saloon, as well as a distinct horizon associated with the Christmas Day fire of 1899. This site is recommended as eligible under Criterion A for its association with the early development of the City of Hastings, and under Criterion D for its information potential. If site 21DK0081 will be impacted by the TH 61 Hastings Bridge Project, Two Pines recommends the development of an appropriate treatment plan. SITES RECOMMENDED AS ELIGIBLE FOR LISTING ON THE NRHP Site No. Site Name Description Time Period Recommendation Artifact scatter 21DK0081 St. John’s Hotel and Saloon c.1870-1899 Eligible and foundations The remaining two archaeological resources that were identified during the Phase I and II investigations are recommended as potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP. Site 21WA0107 (Mitchell Site) is a late nineteenth century domestic artifact scatter and associated landing on the north side of the Mississippi River. These deposits are recommended as potentially eligible for listing on the NRHP under Criterion D for their information potential, but as testing was limited to backhoe trenches and bucket auger tests, further evaluation is required to better characterize the site. The second resource is TH 61 Hastings Bridge Project December 2008 Phase I and II Archaeological Investigations Page ii a scatter of mussel shell and charcoal encountered at a depth of 170-220 cmbs within a 25-x-35-m area. A sample of the charcoal returned a radiocarbon date of 1118-1255 AD (832-695 BP). During the current investigations, no artifacts were recovered in direct association with these deposits, but due to the potential for the mussel and charcoal scatter to be associated with a precontact period Native American occupation, further evaluation of this scatter is recommended to determine its origin. Due to landowner concerns, additional testing of both of these resources has been postponed by Mn/DOT until it is determined whether project needs will necessitate impacts to the site locations. SITES RECOMMENDED AS POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE FOR LISTING ON THE NRHP Site No. Site Name Description Time Period Recommendation Potentially eligible/ 21WA0107 Mitchell Site Artifact scatter c. 1886- c.1910 Additional Work Mussel shell and 1118-1255 AD Potentially eligible/ Not assigned None given charcoal scatter (832-695 BP) Additional Work Based on the results of the literature search and soil borings conducted for the TH 61 Hastings Bridge Project, four lots were identified as having moderate to high archaeological potential. Each of these lots has the potential to contain historical-period resources, but undeveloped portions of Block 6 of the original plat of Hastings also have moderate potential to contain intact precontact archaeological resources due to the proximity to the Mississippi River, and the presence of 10-30 cm of an apparently intact soil horizon over bedrock as documented in soil borings. Due to the extent of disturbance to the existing bituminous surfaces that this testing would require, Mn/DOT requested that archaeological investigations of these lots be postponed until it is determined whether project needs will necessitate impacts in this area. Therefore, a Phase I/II archaeological investigation of these lots is recommended pending finalization of the project’s construction limits. LOTS RECOMMENDED FOR PHASE I/II ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS Block Lot (s) Ownership, Current Use Potential Resources Time Period Xcel Energy, driveway and open Bailly trading post 4 2, 3 and 4 1850-1888 space Pre-1884 Structures Precontact Deposits 6 6, 7, and 8 Hudson Manufacturing, parking pre-1867-1962 Residences 12 3 and 4 First National Bank, parking Residences 1854-1962 12 5 Haley Fireplace Store, parking Bell Brothers Mill 1875-c.1902 In addition to these resources, three historical-period artifact scatters were identified within the project area. Two of these scatters were located to the north of the Mississippi River, and one to the south of the river. Due to the sparse nature of these scatters and the lack of associated diagnostic materials or features, the research potential of these materials is limited. A site number was not assigned to these scatters and no further archaeological work is recommended at these locations.

  • 6 Uncovering Site 7NC-F-94: Results of Phase III Fieldwork
    AT THE ROAD’S EDGE: FINAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE WILSON FARM TENANCY SITE 6 Uncovering Site 7NC-F-94: Results of Phase III Fieldwork METHODS KSK undertook Phase III archaeological excavations at the Wilson Farm Tenancy Site during the period from March to May 2007, with a return visit in August of that year. These excavations were initiated in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended), the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s “Protection of Historic Properties” (36 CFR 800), and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation (Federal Register 48(190): 44730-44734). Excavation methods followed the guidelines outlined in the DE SHPO’s Guidelines for Architectural and Archaeological Surveys in Delaware (1993). The Phase III archaeological investigations at Site 7NC-F-94 consisted of three principal fieldwork components: 1) an initial plowzone sampling strategy; 2) mechanical stripping of the site area; and 3) feature excavation. KSK initially excavated 28 test units (Test Units 6–31 and 34) to sample the plowzone and explore the brick foundation of Wilson Farm Tenant House III (Figures 6.1 and 6.2). The excavations and mechanical stripping resulted in the identification of 104 features (Figure 6.3). Finally, three additional test units (Test Units 32, 35, and 36) were excavated to uncover a shaft feature (Feature 34) exposed near the southwestern corner of the foundation. Test units were designated per their coordinates (N70/E120, for example) and also assigned simple numerical designations (Test Unit 1, Test Unit 20, etc.) for ease of discussion.

A rising superstar who first captured his 168-pound world title in January 2019, Plant makes his third world title defense live in primetime once again as he is opposed by the crafty veteran Truax, whose own super middleweight glory came in 2017 when he traveled overseas to dethrone James DeGale for the IBF belt. In the co-feature Michael Coffie and Darmani Rock clash in a 10-round battle of unbeaten heavyweights. Super welterweight sensation Joey Spencer takes on Isiah Seldon in an eight rounder to open the telecast at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The event will be promoted by TGB Promotions and Sweethands Promotions, in association with Warriors Boxing, and will take place without fans in attendance at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall, an AEG venue, in downtown Los Angeles. “Caleb Plant has established himself as a force in the super middleweight division and will look to further cement his spot atop the weight class on January 30,” said Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions. “With sublime skills and ferocious tenacity inside the ring, it won’t be long until Plant takes his place with the sport’s pound-for-pound elite.

  • A Trip from St. Anthony to Lake Minnetonka, and Shakopee Lakes, Minnesota Territory
    Territorial Daguerreotypes RURAL MINNESOTA AS SEEN BY AN ARTIST Edited by Philip D. Jordan ARMED WITH LETTERS of introduction and carrying a strange assort­ ment of pencils, drawing papers, and water colors, Edwin White- field arrived in St. Paul in 18^6. No doubt he astonished residents who were accustomed to seeing emigrants enter Minnesota Ter­ ritory with rifle and farm tools rather than with the paraphernalia of an artist. Yet Whitefield, for ail his brushes and paints, tvas no day­ dreaming fool. Like many another, he had come to Minnesota to ma\e a living. Perhaps he could combine art with land exploration and settlement and thus force one to support the other. Minnesota was far removed from his native England. He had come to the United States, however, at such an early age that the land of his birth assumed no great importance at the time he reached the Minnesota frontier. By then he had already established himself as an artist, having spent at least ten years depicting scenery and towns in upstate New Yor\ in the vicinity of Albany and Troy} Perhaps at first Whitefield did not really intend to spend more than a few months in Minnesota, for in November, 18^6, an editor spo\e of receiving a call from Mr. Whitefield of Netv Yor\, "who has been spending some wee\s in di^erent parts of our Territory, taking views of our interior towns, beautiful la\es, meandering rivers, matchless water-falls, and charming landscapes, for exhibition in the East!' In addition to displaying Minnesota sketches, White- field planned to lecture in New England and the Middle States.
