Cultural Resource Inventory of Portions of the New Rockford Irrigation Areas and the Sykeston Canal Route, Garrison Diversion Unit, Central North Dakota

摘要

Thirty-three sites were found. Site distribution showed a strong relationship to surface relief but no clear relationship to surface water. Site types in the Sykeston Canal area include tipi rings, cairns, and bison kills, and site density is very high along the bluffs of the Coteau Escarpment. Site types in the New Rockford Irrigation area include mounds and cultural material scatters, and site density is relatively high along the bluffs overlooking the Sheyenne River.
