The La Roche sites are located near the southern boundary of Stanley County, South Dakota, where the Missouri River, flowing to the east, makes a 90-degree turn to the south (Fig. 1). At this point, the high bluffs on the right bank of the river swing back and reveal a small, fertile floodplain known as the La Roche Bottoms. Prior to inundation in 1964, this bottom land and adjacent terrace contained the La Roche sites. Among these was 39ST9, one of the largest aboriginal occupations in the...
