This is the eleventh in a series of annual reports summarizing current field activities within the Missouri River Basin under the auspices of the Inter-Agency Archeological Salvage Program. Twelve field parties, representing one federal and four state agencies, participated in the Missouri Basin program during the summer of 1966. Seven parties were fielded by the River Basin Surveys of the Smithsonian Institution, four of which operated along the mainstem in the Upper Oahe and Big Bend...

This is the twelfth in a series of annual reports summarizing current field and research activities within the Missouri River Basin under the auspices of the Inter-Agency Archeological Salvage Program. Smithsonian Institution River Basin Surveys research continued apace in 1967 although field operations were somewhat curtailed for fiscal reasons. Three River Basin Surveys field parties operated within the Missouri Basin during the season and one made a brief reconnaissance of the Garrison...

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...

This is the eighth in a series of reports presented to provide a resume of current archeological work within the Missouri River Basin. During the summer of 1963 there were twenty-one field parties, representing one Federal and six State agencies, working in the Missouri Basin under the aegis of the Inter-Agency Archeological Salvage Program. A further breakdown shows that the Missouri Basin Project of the Smithsonian Institution, had twelve field parties working in reservoirs and proposed canal...

This is the ninth in a series of reports presented to provide a summary of current field activities within the Missouri River Basin. Twenty-three field parties, representing one federal and seven state agencies, participated in the Inter-Agency Archaeological Salvage Program within the Missouri Basin during the summer of 1964. Fourteen parties were fielded by the Missouri Basin Project of the Smithsonian Institution. Eleven of these worked within the Oahe, Big Bend, and Fort Randall reservoirs...

This site consists of a light scatter of prehistoric and historic materials. Prehistoric artifacts included four ceramic fragments (three of which were badly burned), one quartzite flake, five fire-cracked rock, one quartz shatter, one quartzite shatter, and three oyster shells. Historic artifacts included one forged nail, five brick fragments, and one staple. Oyster shell was also observed along the bank to the southwest of the mapped site boundary.

Oyster shell was observed along the edge of the cliff to the south. Prehistoric materials found at the site included two fire-cracked rocks, one quartz flake, one quartz shatter, one quartzite shatter and one sample oyster shell. A whitebodied earthenware sherd was also found within the site boundaries.

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.

Originally mapped by Judge Graham and later documented by Wilke and Thompson, this is the small remnant of what may have been a larger shell midden. The top has been plowed and the western edge eroded. No artifacts or vertebrate faunal remains other than bits of charcoal and fire-cracked rock were noted by Geo-Recon in 1980. Radiocarbon dates obtained for the basal and immediate sub-plowline portions of this site indicate a Terminal Archaic or Early Woodland date. This site was noted to...

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,...

Originally mapped by Judge Graham and later documented by Wilke and Thompson, this oyster shell midden is being actively eroded by waves on Nanjemoy Creek. The midden surface has also been highly disturbed by disking and blading. Numerous piles of surplus or discarded test equipment are being stored on the midden. Radiocarbon dated at 2220 +/- 50 BP, this site is attributed to the Middle Woodland period. Supporting this cultural association is the presence of Mockley ceramics (three sherds). The...

Wilke and Thompson reported lithics at this site. Geo-Recon found a small prehistoric lithic scatter here in 1980, consisting of quartz and quartzite flakes and chunks, and occasional biface fragments. They speculated that this site might be considered continuous with 18CH158, 159, and 161. MAAR found artifacts in 10 stps. These included 1 amber glass, 1 brick fragment, 5 quartz and quartzite debitage, 1 chert possible spoke shave, and 1 fire-cracked rock.
