River Basin Surveys Papers, No. 26: Small Sites On and About Fort Berhold Indian Reservation, Garrison Reservoir, North Dakota

Author(s): G. Metcalf

Year: 1963

Summary

The Inter-Agency Salvage Program was set up in 1945 as a means by which the salvage of information from archeological sites threatened with destruction by the initiation of federal reservoir construction could be most effectively conducted. It was based on a memorandum of understanding between the Smithsonian Institution and the National Park Service and on agreements between the National Park Service, the Bureau of Reclamation, and the Corps of Engineers. With funds made available by the Bureau of Reclamation, through the National Park Service, the River Basin Surveys was organized by the Smithsonian Institution, to locate, record, and evaluate sites endangered by the water-control projects and to excavate at such key sites as available time and funds would allow. This organization was divided into groups on the basis of affected watersheds, and of these the Missouri Basin Project was one.
