Abstract
This document is the Cultural Resources Management report on the survey, field collections, and excavations at the Duncan site. It describes the analysis of the artifacts and the pithouses. This early pithouse village was a short duration seasonal village occupied during the summer and early fall probably long enough to grow corn. It was only reoccupied for 2-3 summers. Most of the activities occurred in an open area that functioned as a communal plaza. The tools were mostly multi-purpose tools. The settlement probably consisted of a nomadic band of 12-28 persons and each household was autonomously engaging in similar domestic, maintenance, and subsistence activities.
