Located near the town of Huff, eighteen miles south of Mandan, this site was a prehistoric ancestral home of the Mandan people. It is thought to have been occupied by upwards of 1000 people at its peak. From approximately 1000 C.E. to 1400 C.E., there were small settlements scattered along the Missouri river in this vicinity, while from approximately 1400 C.E. to 1600 C.E. larger, more fortified villages like Huff were more common. By the time Lewis and Clark passed the village site in 1804, it had long since been abandoned. |
