TheRenner Village Archeological Site (23PL1[clarification needed]) is a prehistoricarchaeological site located in the municipality ofRiverside,Platte County, Missouri. It was a village site inhabited from approximately 1 CE to 500 CE by peoples of theKansas City Hopewell culture and through theWoodland period to 1200 CE by peoples of theMiddle Mississippian culture.[2] It was added to theNational Historic Register on April 16, 1969.[1]
Archaeologists have found artifacts relating to theHopewell andMiddle Mississippian at the site, which is one of several Kansas City Hopewell sites located near the junction ofLine Creek and theMissouri River.[3]
The site was first excavated by Waldo Wedel of the US National Museum in 1937. He discovered decorated pottery styles typical ofHopewell pottery. It was excavated for a second time in 1954 by the Kansas City Archaeological Society and a third time by Gary Brenner from 1980 to 1993.[3]
During the summer of 2009 the site was the subject of local controversy over the building of a new playground at the location. The city council of Riverside listened to testimony from archaeologists and local residents and decided to pay for rescue excavations at the site. Cultural Resource Services Group at SCI Engineering was contracted to do the excavation work in the summer of 2009 and the area was opened to the public in the spring of 2010 as Renner-Brenner Park, named for two families who had owned the site.[2]
