Arzberger Site, also known as 39HU6 is an archaeological site in Hughes County, South Dakota, near Pierre, South Dakota. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964.[2][3]
At the time of the designation in 1964, it was stated:
The northernmost outpost of the Central Plains Tradition (c. 1500 AD), this is the site of an extraordinarily large fortified village atop a low mesa overlooking the Missouri River. The site covers some 70n(sic) acres with 24 bastions. Forty-four circular house rings have been noted. The village likely represents the Arikara Indians at the time they were differentiating from the Pawnee.[2]
