Abstract

The "culture history" of the Missouri trench in North and South Dakota has been phrased in climatological parameters. The life cycle of the Middle Missouri Tradition in particular seems to correlate closely with the Neo-Atlantic eposide, yet the interpretation is speculatory because appropriate climatic data are not available.
