Arzberger Site

Arzberger Site, also known as 39HU6 is an archaeological site in Hughes County, South Dakota, near Pierre, South Dakota. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964.

At the time of the designation in 1964, it was stated:

The northernmost outpost of the Central Plains Tradition (c. 1500 AD), this is the site of an extraordinarily large fortified village atop a low mesa overlooking the Missouri River. The site covers some 70n(sic) acres with 24 bastions. Forty-four circular house rings have been noted. The village likely represents the Arikara Indians at the time they were differentiating from the Pawnee.

Famous quotes containing the word site:

    The site of the true bottomless financial pit is the toy store. It’s amazing how much a few pieces of plastic and paper will sell for if the purchasers are parents or grandparent, especially when the manufacturers claim their product improves a child’s intellectual or physical development.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
