Description: This report is a result of a program created under the Natural Resources Act of 1963. Located in the southwestern part of the state on the upper Minnesota River, Fort Renville is of interest because it relates to the early period of the American Fur Company in Minnesota. The artifacts recovered provide concrete information on the types of trade goods used in teh area at that time. The site, the archaeological excavation, and the structures which composed the fort, with an analysis of the artifacts found there are included.
