Description
The purpose of this study is to present a detailed descriptive statement of the archeology of one of the early village sites in the northern part of the Middle Missouri area. The Middle Missouri area consists of the Missouri River Valley and the lower reaches of its tributaries between Bismarck, N. Dak., and southeastern South Dakota (see Lehmer, 1954, p. 140). The Paul Brave site is significant because it was occupied at the time when the first village or town dwellers were establishing themselves in the northern part of this area. The derivation of these early village people and the subsequent settlement patterns of the Northern Plains are topics of interest to the anthropologists and historians of the region
