Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Chad Yost

Year: 2010

Summary

Fill from a hearth exposed in a cutbank at the Government Creek site (32BI135) in western North Dakota was floated to recover macrofloral remains. Eight charcoal fragments picked from the hearth fill during excavation also were submitted for identification. This site represents a small, short-term, single component occupation on the north side of Government Creek possibly used as a bone grease processing location. Macrofloral analysis provides information concerning plant resources utilized by the occupants of this site.
