During the week of May 24, 1993, archeologists from the Midwest Archeological Center conducted a survey of a bum plot at Pipestone National Monument. This project was required in order to identify archeological sites and artifacts disclosed by the controlled burning of 20 to 30 acres of Monument property. The survey took place immediately after the bum and prior to harrowing and seeding of native prairie vegetation. Five archeological "sites" or activity loci were defined in the area of the prescribed burn. In addition, a petroglyph site was documented.
