Where: Nebraska · approx. 41.43, -96.5 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Platte River, along the north bank of the Platte valley
What turns up: 1870s to 1890s privy pits and yard scatters from a fast-growing Union Pacific division town; expect local soda and beer bottles, druggist bottles, and stoneware behind old Main Street business blocks.
Access: Gray area.
Nebraska treats navigable riverbeds below the ordinary high-water mark as state public trust with restricted artifact removal; the townsite and Platte-valley farm banks are private and need the landowner's permission. Archaeological sites and unmarked burials are protected by state law.
