Testing and Evaluation of Archeological Sites 32ML404 and 32ML406 in McLean County, North Dakota.
Abstract
Archeological investigations were performed in areas planned for river bank stabilization under the auspices of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The goal of the investigations was to determine the content, extent, and significance of the sites and to provide recommendations for necessary mitigative actions. Proton magnetometer survey, soil coring, and hand excavation yielded little new information about either site that was not available from observations in the riverbank exposure at each location. Even so, it is thought likely that each site represents some aspect of Plains Village Tradition flood plain horticultural practices or winter village related activity, and as such, each site is likely to contain new and significant data on the regional prehistory. Based on this likelihood, both sites are judged to qualify for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, and recommendations for protection during and after stabilization construction are offered for each location.
