National Park Service archaeological excavations at Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site from 1968 through 1972. Although a preliminary report describing the extent and nature of the excavations was produced shortly after the close of each season's fieldwork, until recently the extensive collection of artifacts and other materials recovered during that work has remained largely unanalyzed and unreported for want of sufficient funding. A systematic effort to analyze and report all...

Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site (32WI17), Material Culture Reports, Part IX: Personal, Domestic, and Architectural Artifacts (1993)

After becoming a National Historic Site in 1966, the U.S. National Park Service sponsored four excavations there. Among the thousands of objects recovered were several hundred buttons.

The Fortified Villages of the Dakotas (1962)
From the time of first contact by European and American travelers, the fortified villages of the sedentary, horticultural Indians who lived along the Missouri River in what today are the States of North and South Dakota have been a matter for speculation and comment— and with good reason. Many of the defensive features have close counterparts in the fortified villages and castles of the mote and bailey type of western Europe. This is not to imply that there was any direct relationship but the...

From Fire to Flood: Historic Human Destruction of Sonoran Desert Riverine Oases (1981)
This book has been written intentionally to attempt to correct the disnoetic behavior of scientists who previously analyzed historic erosion and related changes in the Sonoran Desert environment. For scientists, no less than historians, have been quite unduly disnoetic; that is, all too many have proved to be incapable of knowing what they see (Morgan 1966:31). The chapters which follow this introduction deal with such variables as those already briefly mentioned, plus a number of others. Each...
