Abstract
The McKensey Site, on the north or right bank of the Missouri River just upstream from the mouth of No Heart Creek, was composed of seventeen house depressions that appeared to be arranged in regular rows or “blocks”. Most of one house was excavated by a Smithsonian Institution field party during the summer of 1960. The structure was of the longrectangular type but it was atypical in that it was quite long in relation to its width and in the presence of a wide, transverse bench at the rear, The associated artifacts were related to the general Thomas Riggs pattern but the site cannot be placed in either the Thomas Riggs focus or the Huff focus,
