Ceramic Analysis at Chief Looking's Village (32BL3) in Bismarck, ND

Summary
Chief Looking’s Village (32BL3), also known as Ward Earth Lodge Village, is located near downtown Bismarck, ND. This site, occupied for a relatively short period in the mid-1500s, displays two distinctly different house types, one "local" and one "foreign" in design. Potential storage pits within two house outlines at Chief Looking’s Village, identified through remote sensing, were excavated by the Paleo Cultural Research Group during the 2015 summer field season, and the artifacts analyzed throughout the school year. My thesis project centers on the ceramic artifacts of this site, analyzing construction and decoration of ceramic artifacts to identify the "local" vs. "foreign" distinctions as well as contrast the assemblages recovered within each distinctive house type.
