overlooking the Missouri River. In June
and July of 1970, Dr. Patricia J. O’Brien
of Kansas State University conducted
excavations of three of the mounds
(Mounds 1, 2, and 3) with staff and
students at the Great Plains
Archaeological Field School. The
resulting assemblage removed from the
mounds were processed and cataloged
by field school students during the field
school then were taken to Kansas State
University for analysis, reporting, and
curation, where it has since remained.
The human remains consist of two
human teeth removed from separate
mound excavations. One of the teeth is
a maxillary first premolar from Mound
2, identified as from a 9-to-12 year-old
subadult of indeterminate sex. The
second tooth is fragmented pieces of
crown, so no aging was possible. The
360 associated funerary objects are one
lot debitage (approximately 4,859
pieces), 147 worked chert, 49 hematite,
six limonite, 78 stone tools (16 points,
three abraders, five gravers, three
choppers, six hammerstones, eight
biface, three spokenshaves, three hoe
fragments, three scrapers, one polished
quartzite slab, and 27 miscellaneous
stone tools), 62 ceramic sherds, 13
miscellaneous animal bones, two rocks,
one charcoal sample, and one soil core/
sample.
