from Hughes County, SD. The human
skeletal remains include one adult that
was removed from the Bleached Bone
site (39HU48). In 1931, Alfred Bowers
removed eleven burials from a
previously looted mound at 39HU48
during investigations sponsored by the
Logan Museum. Additional
investigations were conducted by the
Missouri River Basin Project (MRBP) in
1962, during which field crew 10,
directed by William Bass, removed an
additional 13 burials. The site included
stone circles, mounds, and other
configurations. Woodland Period (500
B.C.-A.D. 1000) pottery was reportedly
found during the 1962 season. In
addition, the presence of a metallic
projectile point suggested possible
occupation during the Historic Period.
No known individuals were identified.
The 52 associated funerary objects are
faunal remains.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual was removed
from Lyman County, SD. The human
skeletal remains include one adult
individual that was removed from the
Langdeau site, 39LM209. This
individual was likely removed from the
site during excavations in the 1960s.
The site is an earthlodge village that has
been dated to the Initial Middle
Missouri period (A.D. 1000–1100). No
known individuals were identified. The
four associated funerary objects are
faunal remains.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual was removed
from the Second Hand site (39PO207)
Potter County, SD. The circumstances of
the removal of this individual are not
well-known. This individual may have
been one of eight burials that were
reported as being exposed by local
residents, reburied, and then
subsequently collected by William Bass
in 1962. The site was likely identified
during surveys by W.R. Farrell and Jake
Hoffman in 1952. The chronology of the
site is unknown. No known individuals
were identified. There are no associated
funerary objects.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual was removed
from Stanley County, SD. The human
skeletal remains that include one adult
were removed from the Buffalo Pasture
Cemetery site (39ST216). This
individual was likely remobed in 1955
when burials of several individuals
were uncovered during fill dirt removal.
William Bass examined these burials in
1957. The site was a medium-sized
fortified village believed to be dated to
the 18th century. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.

Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual was removed
from an unknown site in Stanley
County, SD. The human skeletal
remains include on adult female. This
individual was removed from a borrow
pit north of Oahe Dam at an unknown
archaeological site as part of the
Missouri River Basin Project and loaned
to Bass at the University of Kansas by
the State Historical Society of North
Dakota. This individual was likely
transferred to UTK by Bass in the late
1960s or early 1970s when he began
working for UTK. No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual was removed
from Walworth County, SD. The
individual is a child that was removed
from the Larson site (39WW2) on an
unknown date. Sometime prior to 1971,
these human remains were transferred
to William Bass at the University of
Kansas. In 1971, Bass took these human
remains to UTK. Archeological evidence
places the Larson site in the PostContact Coalescent period (A.D. 1675–
1780). Many excavations have taken
place at this fortified village site, since
the late 1890’s, under the direction of L.
De Lestry, W.H. Adams and W.H.
Casler, W.H. Over, Alfred W. Bowers,
J.J. Hoffman and William Bass. No
known individuals were identified.
There are no associated funerary objects.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from Walworth County, SD.
The individuals include an adult male
and an adolescent that were removed
from the No Road site (39WW48). These
individuals were removed from the site
in 1983 and were sent to William Bass
at UTK. Little is known about the site,
but from observed lithic materials, the
site is likely to represent a Pre-Plains
village occupation. No known
individuals were identified. There are
no associated funerary objects.
