Test Excavations at Sites 39BR11 and 39LM57 Brule and Lyman Counties, South Dakota

Abstract

Two sites, 39BR11 and 39LM57 were tested. This testing program produced the following results. Site 39BR11, or those portions tested proved to be sterile. On the other hand, site 39LM57 proved to be highly productive of cultural material. Evidence for prehistoric and historic occupations are present in the artifact inventory recovered during the course of this project. Documentary evidence exists that tends to identify this site with both Fort Lookout and Fort Kiowa. Based on our testing program and the literature search summarized in this document, Huerfano Consultants, Inc, recommends that site 39LM57 be nominated for placement on the National Register of Historic Places. At this time no management recommendations are made for further work at site 39BR11.
