Excavate. Preserve. Educate.

Learn More

We excavate a 1,000 year old Native American Site in Mitchell, South Dakota.

In our state of the art Archeodome and museum, we engage students, academics, and the public with a part of history that is only now starting to be better understood.

We preserve the 4 million+ artifacts uncovered at our site.

Our decades-long archaeological work has uncovered millions of artifacts from every corner of our site, all of which are vigorously documented, stored, and in the process of being catalogued.

We educate our visitors on exceptional achievements of our site’s inhabitants.

From processing bison bone to creating beautiful pottery to long distance trade and travel, we bridge academia and public education for people of all ages and backgrounds.
