This volume presents a comprehensive report on a 14th-century Oneota village site in northwest Iowa. The Dixon site (13WD8) is located along the Little Sioux River in Woodbury County. In 1994, emergency flood-damage mitigation was undertaken at the site that included excavation of exposed pit features and eventual stabilization of the western bank and determination that the site was eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. This volume is the resultof this research project. Highlights include documentation of several domestic dwellings plus detailed floral and faunal analyses, ceramic attribute studies, lithic analyses, site geomorphology, analysis of human remains recovered from the site, and an overview of Oneota in northwest Iowa. The investigations indicate that the site inhabitants engaged in bison hunting and maintained close ties with groups west of the Missouri River on the central Great Plains.
