How Archeological Investigations Have Affected Our Historical Knowledge (1954)
Archeological investigations have been in progress in the Missouri Basin for over half a century. These investigations have consisted of the locating, excavating and interpreting of the fragmentary evidence of human occupation in the Great Plains during the past 10,000 years. Such evidence includes the remains of prehistoric Indian villages, camps, burial grounds, quarries, pictographs and hunting spots. It also includes remnants of historic White military and trading posts. Relics of this long...

A Sample Survey: Cultural Resources On Potential Agricultural Development Lands On the Gila River Indian Reservation (1984)
In 1982, Northland Research, Inc. performed a small fraction sample survey of potential agricultural development lands on the Gila River Indian Reservation. The sample was selected probabilistically. Results suggest that, within the probability limits of the sampling design, as much as 59,687 ± 21,272 acres of land within the 296,320 acre target area could contain significant archaeological remains requiring attention in any future development plan. In addition, it was possible to calculate...
