Archaeology Dig and Survey 2024
Students from the University of South Dakota and Augustana University will be on site at the Bear Butte Creek Historic Preserve from May 13-24, 2024, continuing to “Dig” on Soap Suds Row.
They will also begin a general survey of the entire property. Dr. Tony Kruz from USD and Aaron Mayer from Augustana will lead this year’s efforts.
Dr. Kruz led students the first year laying out the grid for our digs. Aaron Mayer acted as crew chief for this past year’s dig. Both are excited to be involved with our project and we are so fortunate to be involving so many college students.

Further processing, cleaning, and documentation will once again be at the Lamphere Ranch Campground nearby.
All are welcome to stop by and visit either location!
