DOCUMENT Full-Text Kathryn Puseman.

Charcoal from the fill of a basin-shaped hearth at the Elbee Village site (32ME408) was submitted for identification. This hearth was exposed in an erosional cutbank of the Knife River and contained an abundance of charcoal. The Elbee site is an extensive earthlodge village in west-central North Dakota dating to the A.D. 1500s. The hearth was found away from and stratigraphically below the level of the village and might reflect an earlier occupation of the area.
