bird and misc artifacts

[larson1951]

this is the rest of the pictures i took when i drove up to mandan (library)

[coteau]

I like looking at those displays whenever I go to that library. I'm glad that they found a place to display those artifacts. At least now they can be viewed by the public rather than getting boxed away in a museum basement. And to think that all those artifacts were under 1st Street all these years! The Scattered Village site is a good example of a protohistoric Mandan site.

Here is the complete online site report. There are some raised effigy faces on pottery similar to yours, as well as Le Beau Ware and Knife River ware pottery. You probably have seen this already but here it is again.
