Moving Robe Woman (Tȟašína Máni) — The Hunkpapa Lakota Woman Who Rode Into The Battle Of Little Bighorn After Learning Her Brother Had Been Killed
The results provided detailed confirmation and complication of the historical accounts.
The distribution of cartridge cases — which can be matched to specific weapons through ballistic analysis — showed the positions of different groups during the fighting and allowed reconstruction of the battle’s phases.
The evidence confirmed that Custer’s formation had broken down under overwhelming pressure, that soldiers had died in scattered positions across the hillside rather than in the concentrated “last stand” that the mythology described, and that the fighting had been intense and fast.
The archaeological evidence also documented the scale of the Lakota and Cheyenne response.
