Cultural Resources Reconnaissance in Dewey County, South Dakota from Below the Moreau River to the Forest City Recreation Area. Volume 1: Main Report
Abstract
An intensive cultural resources reconnaissance (Class II Inventory) survey was conducted by the Archeology Laboratory, Augustana College, along the west bank of Lake Oahe in Dewey County, South Dakota, within the Grand/Moreau Archeological Region, from below the mouth of the Moreau River to the Forest City Recreation Area. Twenty-eight prehistoric sites were recorded during the survey, four of which are outside the project boundaries. The sites consist of four earthlodge villages, six artifact scatters, seven cairns, three cairns with artifact scatters, a cairn and depression locality, a cairn with evidence of gravel prospecting pits, a depression, a stone circle and cairn locality, and four isolated projectile point funds. Twenty-nine isolated finds, ranging from single flakes to recent Euro-American materials, were also recorded. The village sites, all of which are being adversely impacted represent the most significant resources observed during the survey. Three sites are potentially eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.
