Revisiting the Mounds of Lake Benton with Dr. William Balco & Dr. Richard Edwards - Plains 54

In this episode of the Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, Carlton and Chris speak with Dr. William Balco and Dr. Richard Edwards about their recent Plains Anthropologist article, “Revisiting the Mounds of Lake Benton: An Archival and Geospatial Examination.” Together, they explore the history of the Native American mounds documented around Lake Benton, Minnesota, and how nineteenth-century accounts, early archaeological investigations, and changing interpretations have shaped our understanding of these features. The conversation examines how archival documents, historic photographs, aerial imagery, and modern LiDAR technology can be combined to relocate and reassess archaeological sites that have been altered or obscured by agriculture, erosion, and development. Rick and Bill also discuss the challenges of reconciling conflicting historical records, distinguishing confirmed archaeological features from uncertain locations, and using geospatial research to identify and protect vulnerable sites.

Garry scored 21 points on 6-for-12 shooting and Sayler followed with 20 points on 7-for-20 from the field. Each of them made a pair of 3-pointers, and Garry added six rebounds. A 22-7 run over 5:27 of the first half helped the Jackrabbits get some separation. They never allowed Valparaiso to get closed than nine points once it became a double-digit game, and even led 76-56 with four minutes left in the game. South Dakota State's defense caused problems for the Beacons, who shot just 37.7% (20-for-53) from the field. Valpo also went 6-for-30 (30.0%) from deep and made 23 of 35 free throws. Jon Mekonnen and EJ Ryans followed Garry and Sayler in double figures, scoring 12 and 11 points, respectively. Ryans shot 4-for-5 from the field and also contributed five rebounds and four assists.
