Description
The archaeological field work that produced the buttons discussed in this report took place during two distinct episodes, separated by a 26-year interval. The first excavations were carried out in 1980–81 by Steven Ruple of the State Historic Preservation Office, assisted by the Middle Missouri Chapter of the South Dakota Archaeological Society. The more recent endeavor, between 1997 and 2001, was conducted under the direction of the South Dakota State Historical Society with the assistance of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
