FOREWORD VII 



Fort Berthold, also in the Garrison basin, where there was an ex- 

 tremely interesting site consisting of the remains of Fort Berthold I, 

 Fort Berthold II, and the Arikara-Hidatsa-Mandan village called 

 Like-a-Fishhook. Part of the work at that location was done under 

 agreements between the National Park Service and the State Historical 

 Society of North Dakota, and some of it was carried on by Mr. Smith 

 as a Kiver Basin Project. Because the results obtained are so ex- 

 tensive and it has seemed advisable to combine both the historic White 

 and historic Indian stories, the overall paper will be of such size 

 as to warrant publication in a separate bulletin. For that reason the 

 Fort Berthold results are not included in the present series. 



Some excavations have been made in other historic sites in the 

 Missouri Basin, but because their locations are on tributary streams 

 and in other reservoir areas, they are not being reported upon in the 

 present publication, which is primarily concerned with the Upper 

 Missouri. At a later date a number of additional papers on historic 

 sites will be issued in a subsequent bulletin.
