Cherokee Sewer Site
Nearest city: Cherokee, Iowa Governing body: Local NRHP Reference#: 74000777 [1] Added to NRHP: December 24, 1974 Main article: Iowa archaeologyThe Cherokee Sewer Site is a multi-component Prehistoric Indian Archaic bison processing site excavated in 1973 and 1976 near the sewage treatment plant of Cherokee, Iowa; it is not associated with the Cherokee tribe. It is important because it shows a transition in bison hunting strategy during the Archaic period in the Americas. Data from the Cherokee excavations produced some of the earliest models for climate change in the Midwest.[2][3] It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
