Summary

In July of 1958 a field party of the Missouri Basin Project, Smithsonian Institution, spent 14 days conducting archeological excavations at the Good Soldier site (39LM238), a prehistoric Indian camp site in the Big Bend Reservoir area, South Dakota. The site was first recorded and tested in 1956 by a survey team of the Missouri Basin Project under the direction of Harold A. Huscher (Huscher and McNutt, 1958). The 1958 investigations were supervised by the writer; James J. Stanek acted as field assistant. Excavations at this prehistoric site were made possible through Federal funds provided for the Inter-Agency Archeological Salvage Program of the Smithsonian Institution, the National Park Service and cooperating Federal, State, and local institutions.
