Notes
  • Significance: Hundreds of crib-style timber structures were once found in the Northern Plains. Today only about 50 or 60 structures remain in upright positions. The structures were made as a temporary house by all the northern Plains tribes. They housed Indian war parties and were most common during the historic period when northern Plains Indians increased their expeditions to steal horses. They were likely built between A.D. 1825 and 1875. Pentagon 1 is an archeological feature constructed in a pentagonal-shape and made of deadfall timber laid up crib style. It was approximately 5 feet high with an interior floor area of 350 square feet. Holes in the walls were strengthened by chunks of rocks and limbs of broken pieces of deadfall trees. There was no opening or roof on the structure.
