Where: Iowa · approx. 40.81, -91.11 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Mississippi River port on a limestone bluff; historic steamboat landing and rail bridgehead
What turns up: Brewery blob-top beers, Burlington bottling and soda works Hutchinsons, embossed druggist and bitters bottles, stoneware jugs and crocks from area potteries
Access: Gray area.
The Mississippi is navigable, so the riverbed below the ordinary high-water mark is state public-trust land where artifact removal is restricted. Bluff-top and levee townsite land is generally private and needs the landowner's permission. Iowa law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
