From Big Game Hunter to Forager on the Northwestern Plains Smithsonian Institution / River Basin Survey (1967)
In earlier issues of Progress the gains in knowledge of the village dwellers of the Missouri River have been discussed and described. For this report attention will be directed to the earlier, technologically less sophisticated, hunter and gatherers who inhabited the Plains from about 2,000-7,000 years ago. This document contains a brief overview of those who inhabited the Plains and calls for a full investigation of the mountain refuge hypothesis.
POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS AT THE RAY LONG SITE (39FA65), SOUTH DAKOTA: A FEASIBILITY STUDY (1985)
Pollen and phytolith samples were removed from three components at the Ray Long Site (39FA63) in southwestern South Dakota. This site is located within an ephemeral stream sediment sequence deposited by a tributary to the Cheyenne River in Fall River County. Analysis of the pollen and phytolith remains was directed towards determining whether continued sampling would provide data concerning the paleoenvironment. Buried Paleolndian components represent an Angostura occupation (11,000 BP)...
