Prehistoric Horticulture in the Northeastern Plains
Recognition of the presence of prehistoric horticulture in the northeastern Plains is a relatively recent event. Several factors have contributed to the lack of awareness and to the lack of acceptance of native horticulture in this Plains subarea including assumptions about climate and cultural adaptations, and the lack of appropriate recovery and experimental techniques. Archaeological field investigations in the northeastern Plains conducted si…
The Shea Site
Archaeological excavations at the Shea site (32CS1O1) reveal a village lifeway on the Northeastern Plains during the late prehistoric period and clarify Late Woodland-Plains Village interrelationships. This small site, enclosed by a ditch and earth embankment, has no surface evidence of lodge depressions. Excavations uncovered fire hearths, storage pits, and scattered postmolds but no clear evidence of dwellings. Analysis of botanical remains ind…
Artifact Distribution at Tipi Ring Sites
A major focus of the excavations and analysis of the Sprenger Tipi Fling site, 32SH201, located in central North Dakota, has been the examination of the horizontal distribution of lithic artifacts and debitage. An earlier report of investigations indicated that more artifacts and debitage were recovered from ring exteriors than from ring interiors. Recent re-analysis of the excavated materials concludes that, while the quantity of artifacts and d…
The Pelland and Moe Site Blades
Analysis of artifacts recovered from the Moe site located in northwestern North Dakota reveals the presence of 15 blades and three blade-like flakes, the majority of which are made of Knife River Flint and have been modified by retouch flaking. A comparison of the Moe specimens to those from the Pelland site in northern Minnesota, the only other site from the study area which contains blades of Paleo-Indian age, indicates that the Moe specimens a…
An Analysis of Waste Flakes from Sites in the Upper Knife-Heart Region, North Dakota
An analysis of lithic debitage from seven archaeological sites was undertaken with the assumption that itcould provide insights into the technological and behavioral background of the craftsman. The analysis describes lithic debitage in terms of six categories. The sites are grouped into two phases: the Heart River phase (about A.D. 1675-1780) and the Knife River phase (about A.D. 1780-1845). The use of Chi-Square and Difference of Means statisti…
