Excerpt from The Archeology of Beaver Creek Shelter (39cu779), Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota: A Preliminary Statement When Dr. James Martin discovered archeological materials in his paleontological excavations in Wind Cave National Park, he contacted South Dakota State Archeologist Robert Alex. Little did he know that their subsequent, joint test excavations would reveal at least years of continuous human occupation and reflect a major part of the Holocene environmental record. The archeological materials, stratification, and radiocarbon dates indicate that the site has the potential of providing significant information on the transition from the Early to Middle Archaic periods, particularly in the environmental arena. This is a record presently unknown from elsewhere in the Black Hills. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Beaver Creek Shelter (39CU779) is a north-facing rock shelter in Wind Cave National Park. Excavations were conducted by the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in 1985 and, again by that institution and the South Dakota Archaeological Research Center in 1985 and 1987. This work penetrated 4.77 m of vertical rock shelter sediments. The excavations defined 22 stratigraphic horizons, many of which contain archeological materials, and produced a sequence of 12 radiocarbon dates covering most of the Holocene. The archeological specimens, the stratifications, and the radiocarbon dates indicate the shelter has the potential of providing information on the transition from the Early to the Middle Archaic Periods, and of elucidating the interrelationship between climatic trends and human prehistory throughout the Holocene.
