The Silver Creek sites, a complex of five relatively small prehistoric village and camping localities in Monroe County, Wisconsin. The sites were almost exclusively occupied from late Early Woodland to early Late Woodland times. These small camp and village sites are an integral part of the cultural settlement patterns. These locations served as primary or secondary habitation areas which were either used intermittently as hunting or camping stations or for year-round village activity. This report presents data from the 1962 excavations and attempts to establish the degree of influence and contact between components and the individual Silver Creek site localities with a view to establishing a local cultural sequence for west-central Wisconsin. The detailed description and analysis of cord impressions observed on potsherds is considered to be a major contribution of this report.
