Cherokee Sewer Site

The 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, United States; 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. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
