Finds Old Sites.

Old village sites of the Arikara In
dams u century ago, mentioned in the
accounts OF Lewis and Clark. we're ex-
cavated for the first time this ummer
by w. r. Over, assistant curaLo Of the
museum at the University OF South
Dakota.
The clue to the location of the VIII
lage came from a passage in the ac-
count OF Lewis and Clark which says
that a large camp OF Indians was seen
at the Big Bend where the Missouri
flows west and a river comes in from
the north. The camp was found. just
as described. at the mouth Of the
Grand river about rs miles north of
Pierre.
More and older village sites we're
found farther south between Chapelle
creek and Oaho.
The Grand river village vas the last
habitation of the Arikaras in South
Dakota. It has 70 lodge sites On one
side of the Grand river and II on the
other. About IS miles south OF Pierre
is the oldest village site yet found in
the state. In this camp the lodge sites
are more scattered than those built
later and the relics or tools excavatad
show the Indians had experienced no
contact with civilization. Everything
was made OF bone. flint or clay.
