The purpose of this investigation is to meet obligations to Federal historic preservation legislation and associated implementing regulations. Cultural resources are defined as any site, building, district, structure, object, data, or material significant in history, architecture, archeology, or culture. The cultural resources investigation shall consist of (a) an exhaustive search and comprehensive review of existing literature and records for the entire reconnaissance area and adjacent project land and the sites identified for testing; (b) a thorough field examination of the project lands; (c) formal archeological excavation of the sites identified for testing; (d) data analysis; and (e) preparation of a comprehensive investigation report. There are eight sites involved in this study. All are located adjacent to Lake Francis Case in Lyman County, South Dakota. This report contains supporting documentation in the form of notes, photo records, maps and other information for a cultural resources investigation of two archaeological sites and a 30 acre survey conducted for the River Ranch Resort Developers.

The evaluation of four sites along the west bank of Lake Francis Case for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places was conducted in 1986. Earlier work at these sites was assessed and on-site testing was implemented. Site 39GR32, a prehistoric/protohistoric cemetery, was found to have been completely eroded by wave action. Site 39GR53, a multi-component, prehistoric/historic site was determined to be inundated. Site 39LN33, an Initial Middle Missouri village site, contained significant remains, including multiple earthlodge depressions. The site is undergoing active, severe lake bank erosion. Site 39LM39, a multi-component, prehistoric (Extended Coalescent) and nineteenth century historic site was determined to have significant extant deposits of both cultural components, although the prehistoric component is suffering extensive cutbank erosion. National Register of Historic Places nomination forms were completed for the Lyman County sites. Both sites have the potential to contribute to research questions concerning cultural developments, interactions and processes within the Middle Missouri Area and Big Bend Archeological Region of South Dakota.

During this month of July 1988 evaluative archeological investigations were conducted at four sites, 39LM26, 39LM27, 39LM31 and 39LM204, located along the right (west) bank of Lake Francis Case. The purpose of these investigations was to gather sufficient information in order to determine the eligibility of these sites for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. This information was gathered using a series of standard investigative procedures conducted at each site as well as several site specific data collection techniques. This report present summaries of the natural and cultural setting of the study area. Methods used are discussed. The investigations carried out and the findings for each of the four sites are described. Detailed information not appropriate for presentation in the body of this report is incorporated as appendices.
