Central Plains Tradition lodges found near Palmer Nebraska
Archaeologists unearthed at least three earth lodges dating to 1300 near Palmer Nebraska about 25 miles north of Grand Island. The structures are linked to the Central Plains Tradition with a possible ancestral tie to the Pawnee. One lodge may be unusually large and round, unlike typical Central Plains lodges. Discovery began during surveys for a federal irrigation project.
