Author(s): Oscar L. Mallory

Year: 1967

Summary

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.
