AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This paper focuses on the Winnebago, during the late prehistoric/early historic period, and one aspect of their culture, subsistence. Present understanding of Winnebago subsistence from southeastern Wisconsin data is summarized. A discussion of the history of, and problems with, Winnebago origin research is presented. Finally, the Astor Site, Green Bay, Wisconsin, is suggested as a potential link between the prehistoric/historic Winnebago and limited subsistence information from the site is examined in that light. Expectations of the archaeological record based on this information are suggested (p. 272).
