MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF HEARTH FILL FROM 39DW347, SOUTH DAKOTA

Summary

Approximately 50 pounds of fill from the north half of Feature 78, a large cache pit at site

39DW347 in north-central south Dakota, was floated to recover charred macrofloral remains. This

site contains material from both a historic (early to mid-twentieth century) occupation and a Plains

Village period (ca. A.D. 900 to 1865) affiliation. The prehistoric component consists of a midden

overlying several features, including a house structure. Macrofloral analysis of the hearth fill will

be used to provide prehistoric subsistence information, as well as to provide an estimate of the cost

required to examine half of the fill from all features at the site.
