We could soon figure out if Davenport was the site of an historic battle.

City Council members could decide Tuesday night whether or not to approve a contract for an archeological survey on Credit Island.

The contract is for about $46,000 and would go to Commonwealth Cultural Resources Group Inc.

If approved, the group will try and figure out if a battle was fought there during the War of 1812.
