INTRODUCTION <br />I <br />I <br />Bear Creek Archeology, Inc. (BCA) conducted the fieldwork for a Phase I cultural <br />resources sui^ ey between November 19 and 23, 1996 for the proposed construction ot the <br />Spring Hill Golf Club. The survey was sponsored by Hunter-Keith Industries, with <br />Schoell & Madson, Inc. acting as inten. iediary. The construction would consist primarily <br />of landscaping for the golf course, which includes the removal of the existing buildings <br />within the project area (Figure 1). The purpose of the sun-ey was to identify the cultural <br />resources within the area to be effected by the development of the golf course, including <br />archeological and architectural resources. <br />W <br />The proposed Spring Hill Golf Club is to be located in Hennepin County, Minnesota. <br />Most of the project area is within the Orono Corporate boundary; the remaining northern <br />portion is within the Medina Corporate boundary. The legal location for the project is the <br />SWVi, SWV4; the S'/j, NWV4, SWA; the SVi, NE14, SWV4; and the N'/2, SE>.4, SWV4 of <br />Section 25; the SE14, SEI4; the S’/2, SE14; the W*/2, SWl-i, SEU; the NWVS, SWV4, <br />SE14; the S'/i, NE'/i, SE‘/4; the NIV'^, SE‘/4; and the SW14, NEV4 of Section 26; the NE14, <br />NEV4, NEI4, NEV4 of Section 35; and the N‘/2, N\\'V4, NW!4 of Section 36, T118N, <br />R23W. This location is on the Excelsior, Minnesota (1958/1993) and Hamel, Minnesota <br />(1981/1993) USGS 7.5 ’ minute topographic maps (Figure 1). <br />This report details the Phase I cultural resources survey for the proposed Spring Hill Golf <br />Club, including descriptions of the environments and landforms within the project area. <br />The methods used during the Phase I sur\'ey and the rat'cnale for implementing these <br />techniques are also discussed. Finally, the sites and architectural properties that were <br />recorded are described, and recommendations are given. <br />I
