The floated light fractions from the fill of carbon stains and unknown structures at sites 41EP1026, 41EP1623, 41EP1633, and 41EP1720 were submitted identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. In addition, a projectile point fragment was examined for protein residues and organic residues, the latter using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). These sites are located on Fort Bliss Military Reservation in El Paso County, Texas, and represent small, open air camps believed to date to the...

During field excavations in February 2016, numerous stratigraphic sediment samples were collected. Three of these were selected for AMS radiocarbon analysis to include dates on both shell and organics in the form of humates (soil organic matter or SOM) or charcoal, if any could be recovered. Sufficient quantities of sediments were collected from each location to allow pollen and/or phytolith analysis, either as part of the first batch of samples examined or for examination at a later date. In...

Several stratigraphic columns were sampled in the cut bank at Rio del Oso to recover pollen and phytoliths that will provide a signal of regional and local vegetation through time. This vegetation is expected to be a reflection of both natural and cultural events. Radiocarbon ages are available for many levels, providing tight dating for the stratigraphic columns. The pollen record was examined to provide evidence of changes in both regional and local vegetation, while the phytolith record was...

A total of 50 botanical specimens from archaeological excavations at Trinidad Lake, Colorado, were identified. Six of these samples consist of corn cob fragments that were measured, while the remaining samples represent a mixture of seeds and charcoal. Macrofloral analysis was undertaken as part of a thesis project with the hope of identifying possible native and cultivated resources utilized by the site occupants and possibly to determine the past method used to recover these samples.

Pollen analysis was undertaken at 48SW1242, 4b, in connection with archaeological mitigation. This site is located at an elevation of 6450 ft in the Shute Creek Drainage Basin at the extreme western edge of Sweetwater County. Three components were recorded at the site. The later two components range in age from 1550 to 2170 B.P. Two stratigraphic columns, which combine to represent the entire period of occupation, were sampled for pollen to assess the paleoenvironment. In addition, samples...

The Harrower site (48SU867) is located along both sides of Dry Piney Creek in the Overthrust Belt of Sublette County, southwestern Wyoming. This multicomponent site exhibits cultural material dating between 13,620 B.P. and 280 B.P. Pollen samples from a stratigraphic column were collected and analyzed at 5 cm intervals and represent the paleoenvironment from approximately 12,000 B.P. to 9000 B.P., and 3300 B.P. to the present. In addition, a single sample from the moss underlying this column...

USACE, Huntington District was tasked with fulfilling a congressional-authorized restoration of the Albert Gallatin Jenkins House Site (46CB41), located in Cabell County, West Virginia. USACE, Huntington District was responsible for determining the location of the outbuildings and if they could accurately be reconstructed. Cultural Resource Analysts, Inc. (CRAI), headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, conducted archaeological testing and data recovery excavations for the presence, integrity, and...

PROJECT US Army Corps of Engineers, Huntington District. US Army Corps of Engineers Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections, St. Louis District.

The West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey was contracted to conduct the archaeological survey. The majority of the field work took place between 1973-1975 around Beech Fork Lake in Cabell, Mason, and Wayne Counties, West Virginia. Site numbers for the project include; 46CB12, 46MS49, 46WA22, 46WA24, 46WA25, 46WA26, 46WA28, 46WA35, 46WA36, 46WA37, 46WA38, 46WA39, 46WA54, 46WA55, 46WA57, 46WA58, 46WM2, 46WM12, and 46WM20. The project's intention was to result in the construction of a...

This collection is referred to as, "White Springs Site (22IT537) 1979-1986.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is five (5) linear inches. The White Springs Site (22IT537) 1979-1986 archival collection was contained within acid-free boxes and in acid-free folders within the larger Shell Bluff collection. These collections are permanently housed at the Cobb Institute of Archaeology, University of Mississippi....

Sediment samples, collected from stratigraphic columns from three sites (23Ck57, 23Ck302, and 23Le174), were examined for pollen and phytoliths to provide information concerning the paleoenvironment along the Avenue of the Saints corridor in northeastern Missouri. The time periods represented by these stratigraphic samples include the Late Pleistocene at the base of 23Ck57, the Middle Holocene (6300-5500 BP) at 23Le174, and approximately 3510-2550 BP at 23Ck302. The samples 23Ck57 and 23Le174...

Twenty-eight artifacts from Site 41CS151 in northeastern Texas were analyzed for possible blood residues. Immunological studies have shown that protein residues from a tool's surface can be identified using modified forensic procedures. In addition, a soil sample from a culturally darkened area (an apparent anthrosol) and a control sample from the modern A horizon of a column were examined for the presence of phytoliths. A groundstone fragment was washed to recover pollen from the grinding...

Two bulk soil samples from the Dumay section of the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden Fault zone in Haiti were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon age determination. These samples were recovered from a buried A horizon in a natural exposure of the fault. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated.
