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.
