Publications in Salvage Archeology, 3: The Hitchell Site

Author(s): Richard B. Johnston

Editor(s): Warren W. Caldwell

Year: 1967

Summary

The Hitchell Site is one of a group of major village and burial areas excavated by the Smithsonian Institution and cooperating agencies within the Fort Randall Reservoir on the mainstem of the Missouri River in south-central South Dakota. Field investigations of one sort or another were completed at a substantial number of sites but, unfortunately, only a few were extensively excavated. Funds for salvage archeology were sharply limited and personnel were thinly spread so that, inevitably, construction far outpaced archeology.
