toward Middle-Mississippian migration up north, had ultimately been rare. When Iva was discovered in the northern part of what was the
Driftless Area, it contained a combination of both Middle Mississippian and Late Woodland vessel shards. The vessels' proximity to one-another, as well as the site's inclusion of various ecofacts reminiscent of a ceremonial feast had influenced the belief that the two effigy mound societies had interacted. The Middle Mississippian vessels are believed, through petrographic analysis, to be brought from the American Bottom to Salt Lake Coulee through a series of exchange networks. It is not known whether the Late Woodland inspired artifacts had been there prior to the Middle Mississippians' arrival or if the site served as a point of cooperation. Nonetheless, it is accepted that the interaction resulted in the creation of hybrid vessels. Another theory of site's purpose had it be the grounds for a peaceful feast between the Mississippians and the Late Woodland society, which would ultimately be unsuccessful as evident by the lack of additional prominent Mississippian sites in the region.

Woodland presence. In 2002, a new excavation was sparked in light of the construction of a new residential housing development that would interfere with the site itself. Among the thirty exposed, bulldozed features were largely traditional Oneota storage pits in the northern end, as well as features reminiscent of Late Woodland and Middle Mississippian activity.

The excavation ground itself contained mostly Angelo punctated body sherds and rims, as well as pieces of shell-tempered Middle
Mississippian vessels, including two Ramey Incised jars. The site also contained another Madison Cord-Impressed sherd, which was decorated with horizontal cord impressions.

The period of 1050-1200 A.D. marked a transitional period leading to the end of the late
Woodland effigy mound culture in Wisconsin's Driftless area. In reference to this point, interaction between the southernmost Middle-Mississippian tribes and northern Late Woodland groups, as well as evidence

Prior to the 21st century, the only recorded observation of the Iva site was its initial record in 1979, which was a surface collection of a field during a survey of Sand Lake Coulee which found no sign of
Mississippian presence. Continued investigation of adjacent sites did, however, allude to a
