Three charcoal samples from the Fish Weir site, 49-GUL-380, were submitted for identification. This site is situated near the Gulkana River in southcentral Alaska and is known ethnographically as the location of the northernmost fishing wier of the Gulkana-Gakona band of the Ahtna (John Jangala, personal communication, September 21, 2010). Samples were recovered from a shallow depression believed to be the floor of a summer dwelling and from levels in Unit 1, including a fire-cracked rock (FCR)...

Pit fill samples from sites on Tinian Island in the Northern Marianas Islands were examined for macrofloral remains. Charred remains from the fill samples were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. Charcoal/botanic samples also were submitted for identification and radiocarbon dating. The sites were excavated as part of the Reconstruction of Route 202 with Drainage Improvements Project and date mostly to the Latte Period (A.D. 1000-1600) (Pietrusewsky et al. 2011). Macrofloral analysis is used...

Charcoal fragments from a possible burned tree feature on Santa Rosa Island, California, were submitted for identification. This charcoal yielded a radiocarbon date of 12,200 cal BP and is noted to contain the remains of extinct deer mice believed to represent an ancient owl roost. Charcoal was identified to determine the species of the tree.

Samples from two sites in Middle Park, Colorado, were submitted for identification. Sediment from Site 5GA1955 was recovered from a charcoal layer in a hearth. Charcoal from this sample was submitted to Beta Analytic, Inc., for radiocarbon dating. Charcoal from Site 5GA1217 occurred as scattered grains across the site surface and probably derives from a natural burn. Identification to the genus level for this charcoal is noted to have paleoclimatic significance.

Four sites in Lake County, Oregon yielded charcoal for AMS radiocarbon dating. Ten samples were submitted for analysis to identify the most appropriate material for AMS radiocarbon dating. In addition, four groundstone wash samples, submitted from two of the four sites, were analyzed for phytolith evidence of food processing. All four sites are associated with prehistoric occupations; however, historic artifacts recovered at two of these sites indicate an early 20th Century component.

Six samples containing charcoal and other charred material were examined from sites in the Talufofo Kingfisher Golf Links Project on east Siapan in the Mariana Islands. The sites are believed to represent prehistoric occupations dating to the Transitional (AD 1 to 800) and Latte Periods (AD 800 to 1650), based on ceramic typology. The project area was used for pottery manufacture. Charred material was identified prior to submission for radiocarbon dating. The native forests were cleared for...

Single soil and charcoal samples were recovered from a paleoseismic trench located on the north slope of the Uinta Mountains in Summit County, Utah. The bulk soil sample was floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon age determination and the charcoal was identified. Three AMS radiocarbon dates were obtained.

Two Avonlea projectile points from Wortham Shelter that still had existing hafting material were submitted for protein residue analysis and AMS radiocarbon dating. Both of these projectile points and their hafting had been coated with shellac or a similar substance, which necessitated cleaning the artifacts prior to analysis. Protein residue analysis was undertaken to identify the proteins in the hafting material, and, thus, the animal that the sinew was taken from.

The Ash Springs site (26LN2978) is a prehistoric village complex from the Formative Period located in the northeastern portion of Pahranagat Valley, Lincoln County, Nevada. A sediment sample from House Pit 2 (HP2) was floated and underwent preliminary sorting and identification by Dr. Jeanne Schaaf (2006). Light fractions and seventeen sets of carbonized seeds from the preliminary investigation were submitted to PaleoResearch Institute for identification. In addition, two AMS radiocarbon dates...

Two wood samples and one charcoal sample were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. These samples were taken from a sandy alluvial deposit at the San Luis Reservoir, Gustine, California. The wood and charcoal fragments have an estimated age of 3,000 to 20,000 BP.

The papers in this volume were originally prepared for presentation at a symposium titled “In the Footprints of Squier and Davis: Hopewell Archaeology in Ross County, Ohio” at the 68th Annual Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology in Milwaukee, WI (April 11, 2003). Curiosity about the nature and contents of the mounds around Chillicothe, Ohio led Squier and Davis to conduct the first major archeological field study in North America. Field research is still the foundation of all...

In September, 1979, National Park Service archaeologists conducting an archaeolgoical survey of Cape Cod National Seashore were called to a site on Indian Neck, a peninsula in Wellfleet Harbor on outer Cape Cod. A backhoe operator digging a hole for a cottage's septic tank had unearthed human bones. Based on the condition of the exposed bones, the archaeologists determined that the burial was prehistoric. The cottage owners allowed the NPS archaeological team to excavate the remaining...

In September, 1979, National Park Service (NPS) archeologists working at Cod National Seashore were called to the scene of a discovery of a skeleton on Indian Neck near the shore of Wellfleet Harbor in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. The archeologists quickly determined that the skeletons probably were prehistoric. In order to salvage the remains before they were destroyed, it was agreed that the archeologists would excavate the remaining in situ materials. Two days of careful fieldwork revealed an...

Late in the summer of 1979, human bones were unexpectedly uncovered during the construction of a septic system for summer cottages on Indian Neck, Wellfleet, Massachusetts. National Park Service archeologists, who were conducting a survey of the Cape Cod National Seashore, were contacted and the skeletal remains were identified as Native American . Construction had been halted when the bones were first noticed and it was determined that completion of the septic system would destroy the remaining...

The Inman Buffalo site, 48SW3604, was exposed during trenching operations for a 12" Cities Services pipeline (Latady 1984). The site is located on the eastern side of a stabilized barchan dune. It was initially covered by sand, as much as two m thick on the southwestern side of the excavated area. Archeological excavations revealed 18 sq m of burned rock, bison bone fragments, one hearth and lithic artifacts (Figure 1). Approximately eight m2 of the main bone and fire-cracked rock scatter were...

Since their discovery over 150 years ago, Neanderthals have captured the imagination of scientists and the general public. Researchers have been trying to understand their life ways and the processes through which they disappeared. Archaeology and the earth sciences are particularly well placed to address this dilemma because both investigate processes that act over deep time. Within this broad context, Dr. Jonathan Haws (University of Louisville) and Dr. Michael Benedetti (University of North...
