In the winter months it is warm in the daytime, cold at night, with an occasional snow flurry, and very little rain. The summer...

The 1957 summer field season began the twelfth year of continuous operation of the Missouri Basin Project and of the Inter-Agency Archeological and Paleontological Salvage Program. The first eleven years have been outstandingly productive despite several setbacks. The twelfth year began with an even more encouraging prospect than many of the previous years. The areas within the Missouri Basin that have been or soon will be lost forever to scientific archeological investigation due to dam...

The primary purpose of these informal reports is to outline the current work in the Missouri Basin and discuss some of the general problems involved. Response to such reports in the past has been encouraging and helpful, even aiding in the settling of some future policies. We hope we will, with this report, continue to receive response and constructive criticisms that will assist in getting the most out of the Salvage Program. This is one of the most crucial periods in the entire Inter-Agency...

This is a brief summary of field work and a preliminary statement of results for the seventeenth consecutive summer field season of the Missouri Basin Project. In the past this progress report has elicited many constructive comments. We hope that it will continue to do so - but there is also an additional purpose. As the result of a number of circumstances, excavation has far out-shipped the publication of results. Of course, such a lag is often inevitable, however as a stop-gap, this summary is...

Evidence of extensive oyster shell was observed along the south bank cliff. Prehistoric materials included three firecracked rocks and four quartz flakes. Historic artifacts included one tin-glazed earthenware fragment, one rosehead wrought nail, and one 12-gauge shotgun shell base. Testing of the northeast boundary was limited by disturbance caused by earthmoving activities. The site is separated from 18CH480 by an area of disturbance (a borrow pit) to the southwest of the site.

This shell midden consists of approximately 8 acres. Four stps placed within this area recorded depths between 20 and 30cmbs. A rhyolite flake was found in one of the stps within the midden area. A small quantity of oyster shell was recovered in three stps along the cliff. Prehistoric material distribution (including one non-diagnostic ceramic sherd) was thinly scattered throughout most sections of the test area, which extended some 400m further southwest from the oyster shell...

This site was first recorded by Wilke & Thompson in 1977 as a thin scattering of oyster shells confined to plowzone, and a shell-filled pit found eroding out of a bank. MAAR Associates conducted a Phase I in 1993, noting three distinct shell deposits in this area, and recommending increasing the recorded size of the site from 100 square feet to an area measuring roughly 615x60m. They found a scatter of 7 quartz and quartzite flakes, 1 hammerstone, and 3 fire-cracked rocks. In February, 1999,...
