Oneota: an archaeological culture in upper central U.S., ca. AD 900- ca. AD
1700.  Archaeologically Oneota refers to a number of post- woodland cultures
in the Prairie Peninsula which date from ca. A.D. 1000 to Historic times.
Shelltempered pottery typifies Oneota sites and serves as the diagnostic
artifact for the Oneota tradition" (Tiffany 1982:1, in Gibbon). The pottery
is often decorated with parallel wavy or zig-zag lines. On the prairie
lands, bison and corn play a crucial role in subsitance. In the forests,
wild rice, deer, corn and squash are also important. Geographically, Oneota
extended over much of Iowa, into Missouri, Minnesota, much of Wisconsin (up
to the Door Peninsula), western and perhaps north-eastern Illinois and
perhaps Michigan.

Hope this helps
