Report on Archeological Investigations within the Grand Portage Depot (21CK6), Grand Portage National Monument, Minnesota: The Kitchen Drainage Project
During late September, 1989, and again in mid-October, personnel from the Midwest Archeological Center conducted archeological investigations at Grand Portage National Monument. Those efforts were precipitated by the planned installation of a new drainage system within the reconstructed fur trade Depot. That drain would function to remove ground water from two replicated structures inside the Depot, namely, the Kitchen and the Great Hall. Later, during the week of October 16, the author monitored actual installation of the drainage line. All excavation related to that development was observed in order to guard against any possible damage to cultural resources in areas not examined prior to construction. No intact deposits were encountered in the course of those activities.
