Dendrochronology In Plains Prehistory
Chronologies and climatological interpretations based upon annual growth rings of trees have been available to prehistorians within the Plains for more than half a century. Until the advent of radiocarbon dating, tree rings provided the only “absolute” chronology for most archeological complexes and subsequently, continued as an important adjunct to radiometric methods. Nonetheless, the validity of tree ring dates in the Plains must be questioned…

Archeological Investigations At The McKensey Village (39Ar201) Oahe Reservoir, Central South Dakota
The McKensey Site, on the north or right bank of the Missouri River just upstream from the mouth of No Heart Creek, was composed of seventeen house depressions that appeared to be arranged in regular rows or “blocks”. Most of one house was excavated by a Smithsonian Institution field party during the summer of 1960. The structure was of the longrectangular type but it was atypical in that it was quite long in relation to its width and in the pres…
The Middle Missouri Tradition Reappraised
The geographic distribution of the Horizons within the Middle Missouri Tradition are now well established but temporal and cultural relationships are not entirely clear
Abstracts of Papers Presented at the Twenty-Third Plains Conference, 1965
Horizon and Tradition in the Northern Plains
Organization of the great mass of data accumulated during the salvage archaeology program in the Missouri River Basin poses a number of problems. One of the most fundamental is the choice of a satisfactory taxonomic system. The version of the Midwestern taxonomic system which has been used so far in the area has a number of shortcomings. In order to avoid some of them, data from the Missouri Valley in the Dakotas are organized here in terms of th…

A Description of Certain Engraved ar Tif Acts From the utz Oneota Site
Engraved objects of various types have been found at the Utz Oneota Site in Saline County, Missouri. A number of these artifacts are described and illustrated in this article, with comparative data from other localities. They indicate a line of cultural contact and/ or trade running northwest and southeast, along the Missouri-Mississippi River System

The Black Partizan Site (39Lm218), Big Bend Reservoir
The Black partizan Site, a large fortified village situated in the constricted neck of the Big Bend of the Missouri River, Lymar County, South Dakota, was excavated by field parties of the Missouri Basin Project, Smithsonian Institution, during the field seasons of 1957 and 1958.In total, 15 structures or areas designated as features were investigated. These included 3 midden areas, concentrations of cache pits, sectional cuts through the defensi…
The Problem of Northwest Coastal-Interior Relationships as Seen from Seattle
For the past several years Charles Borden of the University of British Columbia has been carrying out a most promising attack on the problems of Northwest prehistory, primarily in the Fraser Delta area. Strongly influenced by the latter-day rigorous school of German archaeologists, his field work is thorough and impeccable. His short reports, published in Anthropology in British Columbia from 1950 through 1953-54 have been more than of a prelimin…
Two Cist Burials from San Juan Island, Washington
The current status of archaeological investigation in the northern Puget Sound region is one of demarcation and elucidation of problems. Lately, the approach has been toward the accumulation of descriptive information on sites and artifacts. The San Juan Island group, at the southern extremity of Georgia Strait, is increasingly important in this process. The extensive cist or cairn burial development at Armadale Valley is merely one of a number o…
Carved Atlatl from Northwest Coast
On June 7, 1952, the writers were shown the artifact, seen in Figure 70, by Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Johnson of La Conner, Washington. According to the informants, the artifact was dredged from the mouth of the Northwest distributary of the Skagit River near its confluence with the Straits of Georgia (about forty-five miles north of Seattle).The artifact is about forty centimeters long and approximately eleven centimeters in maximal height. It is carve…
