Interpretations of ceramic evidence from the Initial Middle Missouri (IMM) complex of the Northern Plains have suggested a technologically simple and homogenous ceramic production industry. Previously unused techniques for identifying and evaluating macroscopic ceramic production evidence allow for new interpretations of ceramic materials. Our study employs a chaîne opératoire approach to ceramics from three IMM sites in South Dakota: Mitchell (39DV2), Dodd (39ST30), and Breeden (39ST16). Macroscopic production traces identified on the ceramics from these sites include paddle-and-anvil impressions, coil seams, surface smoothing marks and plastic additions. Eleven distinct chaînes opératoires are identified. These new data allow for a broadened interpretation of social and cultural complexity at IMM sites, and provide the basis for further studies investigating technological innovation, cultural interaction, and social complexity on the Plains
