| In the late 1960's and 1970's the site was further excavated and developed by the Montana State Archaeological Society and the Milk River Archaeological Society under the auspices of the H. Earl Clack Memorial Museum and Hill County. One of the early excavators was Les Davis, then working on his Doctoral degree, and now Curator of Archaeology and Ethnology at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana. Many excavations from the late 1970's and on were conducted by now archaeologist John Brumley. | ||||||||||||||||||||
