Samuel Barrett and Ethan Hawkes excavated the Kratz Creek Mound group in the summer of Samuel Barrett and Ethan Hawkes excavated the Kratz Creek Mound group in the summer of 1917. Later on in the summer of 1925, Will McKern excavated the Neale and McClaughry mound groups. All three of these mound groups were located along the shores of Buffalo Lake in central Wisconsin. The purpose of this project is to analyze the mound groups, reveal that Neale and Kratz Creek are indications of a larger site, whereas there is no association with the McClaughry mound group. I will also be incorporating the Native American belief and ritual into interpreting these sites.
