professional archaeo~o~st should be hired by the city and the state guidelines for this

th~'ee drainage box locatrons to be harm excavated usrng standard archaeological
techniques prior to the n~o~em.ent of playground equipment onto the site, Then the
ecavatian of the lndi~iduat post hales during constructl~n should be monitored by the
atRchaeologist and the soils fi~or~ each labeled and kept separate for later processing.
after the ground disturban~c is can~leted, the professional archaeologist could be
responsible for washing and labeling the artifacts and for processing all the soils
collected and compiling maps and photographs of the site, vertical profiles, and of any
potential features hearths, trash died storage pits, ar prehistoric postolds, etc~~
encountered, ~ course, a professional report should be written for the city, again
following the guidelines from. the state of Missouri for such research.
i hope these suggestions will be ofid to you. As stated, ~ would be mast happy to
answer and questions or to discuss the issues further, I can be reached by e-n~aii;

dear. City council Mernbers~
The Indian Council of Many Nations, ~ncr has bean angered and upset that you would disturb the
grounds located at the Renner i#e in Riverside, M~, These grounds were placed on the l~atlonal
Registry in 199 to protect #hem~ fiver Ninety percent of these sacred grounds have already been
destroyed forever, The Native American Con~r~unity ofthe Kansas CityArea was led to believe
that here would be NO ~URTI~~R D1~'UR~AN~ of these sacred groundsr
The decision to move playground equipment from a location already destroyed at the Renner bite
onto the center of the srriall remaining undisturbed sacral ground is unconcianahie on your ~artr
Tie impact is the same as if you pieced the equipment In the middle ofAriington National
Cemetery or in frontofThe ~vashing#on Memorial ar Capital Bullding in v~ahington ~C~
In 19$~ the City of Riverside purchased the s~nali remainderof the Renner bite that was not
destroyed, The City's agenda was to make it a city park to protect this National ~'reaure That was
on the National Registry and in the middle of Riverside, M~~ however this has not been the result.
City e~par~slon and modernisation slang with highway impravernents have further destroyed more
of the Renner bite. After the 199 load further destruction of this Renner bite was done by placing
recreation equlpment~on the low ground for Park improvements New only a very small piece ~f the
Renner i#e rer~ainr Phis being the high plateau by the rand. New you propose to install the
playground equipment in the middle of this very lacationr Please #al~e into consideration that doing
this will D~TRDYthe remaining RUNNER SITE {3P1~~ FOREII~RI .
The lndlan Council of Many Nations, Inc, on behalf of it's afllcers, directors, members, and The
Native American Cormm~ity asl~ that you please reconsider your decision to destroy this site that
is sacred to The native American community,
ir~cerely,

~ubject~ Renner~~renner Park
Dear Mayor Rose:
Z have been alerted to new impacts to remnants of the Renner site ~~~Pt.1~ and, as Secretary of the Missouri
ArchaeolagicaC Society ~MA~, I air compelled to speak out on this disconcerting matter since the MA President,
Lyle Sparkman, has responded as well, ~ will not belabor some of the points he made about the importance of this
site
when this park was obtained, more than one-half of the Renner site was already gone! not to mention the fact that all
burial mounds in the area had succumbed to loafing and ultimately residential development. I don't know a detailed
history of the park, but I know the park has had a pavilion and some restraams far some time now. They apparently
were put in a location that had been excavated beforehand far archaeological deposits, sa nothing was disturbed as a
result of the city's actions in this case. But, then the construction of the new pity Hall impacted a part of the site. ~fas
there anything done to mitigate the impacts of that construction before another piece of the site disappeared In the
meantime, plans have been in place to widen the road through the site Now, a playground area is going to be
developed and three drainage bones are going to be excavated where na previous archaeological work apparently has
been undertaken. If my information is correct, the stripping of sail from the surface will likely expose and disturb
upper portions of intact storage, conking, and~or refuse pits. This is due to the fact that there has been a good deal of
erosion at the site and little of the former plow~one still remains.
This reminds me of the tragic fate for substantial portions of the well~knawn peister site ~~~PL~} in Line creek Park,
which resulted from a relative lack of institutional mernary andJar educated concern far what was really represented
and what should have been preserved protected in that park,
I'm sure you've read the rnarker in the park and you know or at least have heard from others that Renner is the type
site far so-called l~ansas pity Hopewell However did you know that the site was also occupied bath before and after
that extremely interesting period of time? l~nfartunately, nearly all large~scale excavations were undertaken at Kansas
pity ~apewell sites including Renner} long agaR since then, much new technology has been developed and many new
techniques of data recovery and analysis have became available. As I recall, nary Brenner undertook some
excavations at the site in locations threatened by park and road development, bt~t these also were undertaken on a
less than idea[ salvage basisi Na doubt, the future will witness many new innovations that will allow future
archaealagists to better reconstruct the past. Many of the Kansas pity i-lope~reil sites have been destroyed and I only
hope that there will be sarithing left in the ground at Renner to actually study in ~0 or ~.Dg years,
having raised a family and now being a grandparent, I certainly recognise the need far recreational facElities far
children as well as adults. But, why can't the playground equipment be located somewhere ath~r than ors intact
portions of the Renner situ
why can`t the remaining parts of the Renner site dust be left alane~ when will the destruction of remaining portions
stop? dust as at Line creek Park, the institutional memory will again be gone ar someone of power won`t care about
anything but their awn agenda and something else, perhaps another recreational facility, will result in further
destruction,
I don't know the tactic planned by Barks personnel or utirhomever, but having people who know little to nothing about
archaeology excavate hales for playground equipment ar strip and then pile the dirt somewhere far sifting is N~~ how
archaeology should be lane, The approach of piling dirt at Line creek Park was terribly distressing and provided little
other than some r~rore unpraver~ienced artifacts to curate,
People think that archaeology is all about finding artifacts. That is precisely why naive people think that keeping dirt in
a pile for people to sift through is a good things It is absolutely oat and artifacts in and of themselves are
meaningless! Archaenla~y is about context ar pravenience~pravenance~ without knowledge of context, including that
far associated materials ~~e~g~, food remains; foal-manufacturing byproducts, etc}and the physical and chemical
environments of that context, artifacts are pretty worthless to science.
Zf this work has already occurred, I surely hope that each of the hales has been designated by specific numbers or
letters and the earth rernoved from each leapt in separate piles keyed to those numberr If a hearkh, pit, house floor,
ar same other prehistoric feature is encountered inane ar mare of the hales, haw wil[ we knaw where significant
features are located if the dirt from each is not kept in separately labeled plies? wii[ they be churning everything up
with a power auger dawn into undisturbed subsoil ar~d in situ archaeological deposits? Same may think this is pretty
trivial stuff, but it is not to anyone trained in haw to da good archaeology and it is especral~y riot trivial when we are
talking about an already much#campramised prehistoric National Register site in an urban environment,
If people are insistent on pursuing this playground equipment and drainage box agenda, park personnel will not knaw
what they may ar may not encounter and therefore destroy without any record, Furthermore, who will be there to
assure that nothing of significance, if encountered, much less recognized, will be taken by one of the park workers ar
the contractor? I know a [at of contractors and many of them are artifact collectors and looters. we recently tried to
track down a sheriff's deputy in one county to the south of you far looting archaealagicai sites an federal praperty~
That is a felony, punishable by potential fines and even irnprisanment. we are a[so trying to find out Pram tf~e Missouri
Department of Conservation why people wanking for them are plowing up intact archaeological deposits an at least
two sites an federally leased property along the Pomme de Terre River.
Please leave this site alone. However, if the digging of hales and the stripping of soil at this remnant of a National
Register site will occur, then hire a prvfessi~na~ arc~a~nf~g~st~ HeJshe should ~ ~~} excavate the drainage boxes
and the holes far the playground equipment, and ~~~ monitor the stripping. If features will be impacted by such
stripping, a contingency plan should be in place with the contractor to allow stoppage of the stripping and excavation
of any intact deposits threatened by further stripping. The city also should be obligated to pay far the analysis and
curatian of materials, as well as the preparation of a report. You cannot expect this to be a free volunteer efFort~
Although I knaw that Mr. Brenner did his best and I admire him for his efforts, this site has sufFered in the recent past
tram the absence of a goad p~ofessianal hand. I'm sorry, but this is the least you can da for the resource. Surely, you
could afford to spend a bit of your Parks budget of $~, r~illian to da what is right.
Z would also hope that someone there cares eno~,gh about trying to preserve this small, but important piece of the
past far future generations. It is a nonrenewable resource once destroyed, it will be gone forever, And that is where
99°l~ of the prehistaric past has gone already in the Kansas City r~etra area.
If much mare occurs at this site, particularly in the absence of professional documentation, it will lose its National
Register status; You can`t have something an the National Register that doesn't really exist anymore, or a site at
which its integrity has been substantially debasedi

L am v~rriting on behalf of the Kansas pity Archaeological aciety ~KCA} to
convey our concerns about rnaving the playground equipment in Renner-Brenner
Park. err~bers of KA have been invoived in the archaeolagica~ cons~rvatian
of the park far over years. Ie beCieve that this is an iportant archaeological
site that should be preserved pith n~inirna~ disturbance.
The Renner~~renner site contains evidence of the indigenous Ar~ericans vuho
lived in this area forthe past severaC thousand years. INhiLe a Limited amount of
archaeological ~rork has been carried out in the past, much can still be iearr~ed
from the site, once the ground is disturbed, information is Last blot only is it
important to find artifacts from the past, the context in ~rhich they are found is
equally important, irr~ply saving sail fram holes that are dug far the playground
equipment 'rs not adequate since itvuiLl be viev~ed in isolation, rather than in the
Larger context.
The park has been placed on the National Register of Historical Places because
of its importance in the prehistoric past of this area. The Kansas pity Hope~reli
culture eras identified due in Large part to the findings in the park, This is an
important archaeological era that needs to be further studied,
The members of KA urge you and the pity ounciL and commissions to
reconsider the i~npactthat moving the playground equipmentv~riLl have on this
important archaeological site. Thank you far your attention to this unique and
irreplaceable park.
Sincerely,
