Abstract:

The author conducted a preliminary archaeological survey of a proposed recreation area on the shores of Lake Rebecca in Hastings, Minnesota. On the basis of the physiography of the area and the few test units excavated, it would not appear likely that this area has a great deal of archaeological potential, although it could have been used periodically for such activities as hunting or fishing. Several foundations were discovered in the project area. No historical references to the age or significance of these structures could be found. It would not appear likely that these foundations represent either early or significant structures in the Hastings area.
