Archeology sites edit

I'm not sure why the list of archeological sites is in this article about paleontology. Archeology is an entirely different discipline, so the list of sites should be moved to another article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bioprofsd (talk • contribs) 02:49, 3 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

This is so late, but I agree. I am working on moving these sites to List of archaeological sites in South Dakota, as well as potentially creating a standalone Archaeology of South Dakota article. – T C Memoire 15:43, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
