Oneota cultivated fields near Lake Winnebago. Indian Garden Bed
This photograph, taken about 1912 by Charles E. Brown, shows
cultivated fields untouched by white settlers. Now known as the
Eulrich Site, a mile from the shore of Lake Winnebago (in
Vinland Township, Winnebago County), it was investigated by
archaeologists in the mid-1960's and attributed to the Oneota
Culture. This culture flourished ca. 1,150 to 1600 A.D. from
eastern Wisconsin to the Missouri River, and is thought to be
the immediate predecessor to modern tribes. These fields were
presumably cultivated by the ancestors of the Ho-Chunk, who had
long occupied the vicinity when Europeans arrived in the 17th
century. Early Native Peoples| Mississippian Culture and Aztalan
