Excerpt from Inter-Agency Archeological Salvage Program: River Basin Surveys Papers; No; 39 an Interpretation of Mandan Culture Histroy SO closely and efficiently that this task was completed shortly after the close of the field season. His assistance in many other respects has been invaluable, not only during the time the site was being excavated but in innumerable instances since then. I am also grateful to Dr. James H. Howard, University of South Dakota, for his advice during a visit to the site, and for the loan of his site maps, redrawn in this study. The able and hard-working crew included Neil Kirschner as assist ant archeologist. There were six field assistants: John Berg, Walter H. Birkby, Lawrence W. Hanson, Jon Muller, Gordon F. Robinson, and Stephen W. Robinson. During the last few weeks of work at the site, when a multitude of problems and adverse weather arose, it was the sustained interest and labor of these men which brought the season to a successful close. Mr. Robert P. White, caretaker, Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park, was in large part responsible for the amount of work completed in 1960. His help in removing overburden from three of the houses materially shortened the excavation time, and his constant aid made life in camp more enjoyable - one might say endurable. The North Dakota National Guard also assisted in the work at Huff. Capt. James P. Grimstad took the very fine aerial photograph Of the site which was used as the base for the Site map, and Sgt. Peter Wang, Jr., capably handled the National Guard road patrol which was employed late in the season to strip overburden from a number of the houses. Robert P. White also operated the road patrol when other duties prevented Wang from being at the site. Technical assistance was given by a number of specialists. Dr. William M. Bass III and Walter H. Birkby, Museum of Natural History, University of Kansas, studied the human skeletal material. Dr. Hugh C. Cutler, Missouri Botanical Garden and Washington University, analyzed the corn from Huff and other nearby village sites. Mr. Loye Miller, Department of Zoology, University of California at Davis, identified the bird bones. Dr. J. Arnold Shot well, Museum of Natural History, University of Oregon, assisted in the identification of animal bones and the stone from Huff. Dr. F. D. Holland, Jr., North Dakota Geological Survey, supplied data relevant to fossils at the site, and Dr. J. P. E. Morrison, Division of Mollusks, u.s. National Museum, identified the mollusks. Thanks to this multitude of assistance, and to the many courtesies of friends in Huff, Mandan, and Bismarck, it was possible to complete the sampling of this important Village site.
