Nice finds larson1951!

 

[larson1951]

we checked out a part of eroded bank that had fallen away over the winter with so much snow
the mandans were mostly farmers.....corn, squash, beans, and tobacco
those are roasted corn that the mandans roasted and used for food
they also made the corn into flour
the corn cobs apparently were very small
we found a bunch of it along with mussel shells

Those are corn cobs in there, a very primitive form of it.
