Noble Midwest Archeological Center Technical Report No.8 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Archeological Center Lincoln, Nebraska 1993 Ie ------ -- -- - -- --_.- - ----------------------------- --- ----- ABSTRACT During June and July of 1988, archeologists from the Midwest Archeological Center performed limited testing at four historic lighthouse complexes within Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. The lighthouses, which still protect shipping at the western end of Lake Superior, were scheduled for exterior restoration work. Specifically, immediate plans called for the installation of drainage systems about certain structures on Sand Island, Michigan Island, Outer Island, and Devils Island to mitigate continuing ground water damage to their foundations. Archeological investigations sought to assess the potential impacts to cultural resources in those areas of the light stations that would be disturbed by proposed developments. Shovel probes and controlled test excavations were used to examine the proposed drain alignments, as well as construction staging areas. No significant cultural resources were discovered during the five-week project that would warrant modification of the drainage systems or further archeological excavation prior to construction of these improvements.

  • Wis. Agency Abbreviations
    GUIDE TO WISCONSIN STATE AGENCIES AND THEIR CALL NUMBERS Wisconsin Historical Society Library 816 State Street, Madison, Wisconsin 53706 Rev. to Oct. 2017 The Wisconsin State publications collection is arranged by agencies. A system of classification based on the federal Superintendent of Documents scheme was devised so that all of an agency's publications would be shelved together. This guide was produced to help you find an agency's publications. It also provides a history of agency changes in Wisconsin State government. This guide traces Wisconsin state agencies from the beginning of statehood to the present. The guide is divided into four sections. Part I is arranged alphabetically by the keyword of the agency (second column) and part II is alphabetical by call number (first column). The complete call number is not given, only the beginning alphabetical portion of the call number. Part III is a listing of subagencies with different call numbers than their parent agency. If you know the name of an agency look in Part I to find the call number In most cases everything from an agency is shelved under the call number of the major agency. There are exceptions to this. When an agency started out independently, but later became part of another agency it will still be found under its original call number. This is where Part III will prove useful. This alphabetical listing of major agencies, both past and present, with subagencies which have a different keyword classification is a reflection of an agency's history. One must remember that divisions of subagencies will have the same call number as the subagency.

  • Behavior of the James Lobe, South Dakota During Termination I
    Behavior of the James Lobe, South Dakota during Termination I A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in the Department of Geology of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences by Stephanie L. Heath MSc., University of Maine BSc., University of Maine July 18, 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Thomas V. Lowell Dr. Aaron Diefendorf Dr. Aaron Putnam Dr. Dylan Ward i ABSTRACT The Laurentide Ice Sheet was the largest ice sheet of the last glacial period that terminated in an extensive terrestrial margin. This dissertation aims to assess the possible linkages between the behavior of the southern Laurentide margin and sea surface temperature in the adjacent North Atlantic Ocean. Toward this end, a new chronology for the westernmost lobe of the Southern Laurentide is developed and compared to the existing paradigm of southern Laurentide behavior during the last glacial period. Heath et al., (2018) address the question of whether the terrestrial lobes of the southern Laurentide Ice Sheet margin advanced during periods of decreased sea surface temperature in the North Atlantic. This study establishes the pattern of asynchronous behavior between eastern and western sectors of the southern Laurentide margin and identifies a chronologic gap in the western sector. This is the first comprehensive review of the southern Laurentide margin since Denton and Hughes (1981) and Mickelson and Colgan (2003). The results of Heath et al., (2018) also revealed the lack of chronologic data from the Lobe, South Dakota, the westernmost lobe of the southern Laurentide margin.
