Recollections of a Missouri Valley Salvage Archaeologist
found ourselves in a fierce blizzard before we got there. We were forced to spend the night in the only hotel in that town, along with many others who were caught by the blizzard. The hotel rooms were all full, and some people had to sleep in the lobby. Our infant son had to sleep in a dresser drawer. We spent eight weeks that summer partially excavating the Swanson site. We had a total of $6,000, half from the South Dakota Archaeological Commiss…

A Report on the Investigations of the No Heart Creek Site, 39AR2, Dewey County, South Dakota, 1960
The report describes in detail the final results of a field project at the No Heart Creek site, 39AR2, Dewey County, South Dakota, co-sponsored in 1960 by the University of South Dakota and the National Park Service. The site consists of a double settlement pattern, a fortified village surrounded by scattered earth lodges, probably occupied during the period A.D. 1550-1575. On the basis of content the cultural complex is assigned to the Le Compte…
Seasonal Economic and Settlement Patterns of the Arikara
That the Arikara were characterized by seasonal economic activities accompanied by varying settlement patterns during the Late Prehistoric and EarlyContact Periods is amply documented in the archaeological records and journals of the first explorers of the Missouri Valley. In spite of the abundant data, however, several aspects of the seasonal changes of economic and settlement patterns still remain subjects of speculation. Since there seems to h…

Social Drinking Patterns of the Yankton Sioux
Several comparative studies made recently by anthropologists and sociologists have indicated a causal relationship between the sociocultural organizations of a particular society and its drinking patterns.1 In fact, Field has emphasized that sociocultural factors may be more important in the incidence, degree, and patterns of alcohol drinking than strictly psychological traits, such as levels of anxiety, tension, and the tendency toward selfdestr…

Recent Radiocarbon Dates for Central and Southern Brazil
Radiocarbon dates from caves and shellmounds in central and southern Brazil indicate occupation extending over a 10,000-year period, during which major climatic changes occurred. Correlation of these dates with geologic context of the sites indicates a close agreement with the theoretical climatic fluctuation and changes of sea level proposed by Fairbridge

A Yuwipi Ceremony at Pine Ridge
The final phase of the Dakota Yuwipi cult, a rite for curing the sick and foretelling the future, is described. It was held at Pine Ridge, South Dakota for the purpose of forecasting the chances of a candidate’s being elected chairman of the tribal council.The candidate prepared for the ceremony by fasting, sweat baths, and prayer. The rite found 13 Indians and 3 non-Indian guests seated on 3 sides of a cleared room which had all openings blanket…

The Randall Component
In a review of the Scalp Creek report (Hurt 1952) Donald J. Lehmer questions the evidence which would warrant the denning of a Randall component at the Scalp Creek site (39GR1), Gregory County, South Dakota (Lehmer 1954). In addition, Lehmer makes this statement, 'However, when a subsequent report by Hurt tentatively derives the St. Helena focus of the Upper Republican aspect from a component established on the basis of 39 potsherds, it becomes a…
A Comparative Study of the Preceramic Occupations of North America
In view of the present turmoil in North American archaeology caused by the continuing release of radiocarbon dates, it is most difficult to maintain an understanding of the preceramic occupations. What seems like a good guess today is tomorrow relegated to the realm of unwarranted speculation. The continual excavation of preceramic sites in North America and the constant revision in geological and climatological theories also force us to be cauti…

Archaeology of the San Augustin Plains, a Preliminary Report
The San Augustin Plains of south central New Mexico contain several pluvial lake basins, on the terraces of which are numerous blowout sites with remains of Early Man. The major portion of the Plains lies to the south of U.S. Highway 60, between Magdalena and Datil, New Mexico. This is the area of the basin of extinct Lake San Augustin. The small portion of the Plains to the north of the highway contains the basins of White Lake and North Lake. T…

Eighteenth Century Navaho Hogans from Canyon de Chelly National Monument
Archaeological reconnaissance during the summer of 1941 at Canyon de Chelly National Monument disclosed the location of two groups of Navaho hogans built in 1758, 1766, and 1770. The significance of these dwellings lies in the fact that they definitely establish Navaho occupation of the area west of the Chuska Mountains in the middle of the eighteenth century. In addition to the early dates and the architectural details, the sites produced a larg…

Folsom and Yuma Points from the Estancia Valley, New Mexico
A promising field for sites of ancient man lies in the region of the Estancia Valley, central New Mexico. This area was covered by the vast, extinct Pleistocene Lake Estancia, estimated by Antevs to have been at its height 15,000 years ago. The lake covered approximately 450 square miles and had a maximum depth of about 150 feet. Today, evidence of the lake remains in the form of beach terraces and gravels. Some 160 miles to the east are the Clov…

Development of Architecture, Canyon de Chelly
During the summer of 1941 the writer made a survey of the sites in Canyon de Chelly National Monument, Arizona, which represent the later phases of Modified Basket Maker and the early phases of the Developmental Pueblo period. The object of this survey was to trace the development of architecture from the early slab-lined pit houses to the above-ground dwellings constructed of linearly-laid stone masonry. Since the writer lacked the facilities fo…
