The Myers School Timbered Lodge (32BI401) is a historic site located near Medora, North Dakota. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and has historic significance relating to the year 1850. The precise address of the site is restricted. [2]

Timbered lodges in the general area, i.e. in the southwestern part of the state, have been identified as archeological sites of interest. These are either conical-shaped or earthen lodges constructed by Mandan tribes or by others. A study of the Little Missouri River area in 2008 states that four timbered lodges were located in the South Unit of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, which is just north of Medora. It noted that these may have Eurasian participation, i.e. not be built or used solely by indigenous peoples. [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Fort Juelson</span> United States historic place

Fort Juelson, designated 21OT198 in the state archaeological inventory, is a historic site located east of Underwood, Minnesota, United States. An earthen fort was built at this hilltop in July 1876 after rumors of Indian attacks in Foxhome, French, and Fergus Falls following the Battle of Little Bighorn in Montana. Many settlers left the area. Charles A. Dollner, a local merchant, suggested the rest of the people band together and build the fortification under leadership of two American Civil War veterans, Hans Juelson and Berge O. Lee. The scare proved to be a hoax, and the fort was never used for defensive purposes. Remnants of the sod barricade are still on the site.

Morrison Mounds is a historic site located north of Battle Lake, Minnesota, United States. It consists of 22 Indian burial mounds that were built beginning in 800 B.C. There are 20 conical mounds, one flat-topped mound, and one elongated mound near Otter Tail Lake. This site has the oldest radiocarbon date for any mound group in the state of Minnesota. However, its construction is similar to other mound groups in the area which suggests they are all from the same social group that built them over a period of time. Similarities include a central burial pit, logs over the burial pit, and the possibility of partial cremation on-site. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

The Rosenstock Village site is a historic site located in Frederick County, Maryland, United States, near the city of Frederick. It contains the remains of a Late Woodland Village situated on a bluff overlooking the Monocacy River.

It is similar to the Montgomery Complex, which is a cultural complex made up of Late Woodland sites located on the Potomac River. The site was excavated in 1979 and from 1990 to 1992, and estimates suggest that 93% of the site remains undisturbed. They uncovered a large oval area surrounded by pits, a large sheet midden area, and what are believed to be two sweatlodges. The excavations have yielded a trove of artifacts and animal remains. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.
