AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Jeffries and Lynch give a summary of the findings from Area A of the Black Hills site. Discussed are the the environmental setting, site formation, artifacts, features, subsistence, and burials. The evidence suggest the site was intensively used during the Middle Archaic, but that when the artifacts are considered, there was little change in the 'patterns of cultural activity' (page 321).
