The Mitchell Site is an archaeological site in Davison County, South Dakota, near Mitchell, South Dakota. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964.〔〔Note: A National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination document should be available upon request from the National Park Service for this site, but it appears not to be available on-line from the (NPS Focus search site ).〕 At the time of the designation in 1964, it was stated: The site contains what was once a village made of lodges surrounded by palisades. The site is managed by a nonprofit organization and is open to the public as Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village.〔http://www.mitchellindianvillage.org/archeology/index.php?id=21〕 Visitors can watch archaeologists uncover artifacts in the Thomsen Center Archeodome. The Boehnen Memorial Museum features a reconstructed lodge and many of the artifacts found at the site. The people who once lived on the Mitchell site acquired their food from many different sources. The discovery of food processing tools and carbonized seeds suggest that these people were growing much of their food. Artifacts, such as hoes and squash knives are also good indicators that they were farmers. Various types of carbonized seeds and corn cobs show they were growing corn, beans, squash, sunflowers and tobacco. 〔http://lithiccastinglab.com/gallery-pages/2011februarymitchellsitepage1.htm〕 ==See also== * Mississippian culture * List of Mississippian sites 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mitchell Site」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
