A total of 21 soil samples from a preliminary fault study on the coastline of northern Mozambique, Africa, were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon dating in hopes that the dates will provide some constraint on the overall age of near surface sediments. The project area is predominantly sand with varying degrees of silt and clay. Botanic components, detrital charcoal, and shell were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A total of 14...

Two soil samples and three charcoal samples from a sequence of late Holocene terraces along Tsaile Creek in northeastern Arizona were examined to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated.

A total of five soil samples from along the Pecos River in eastern New Mexico were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. These samples were recovered from a late Holocene terrace adjacent to the Pecos River immediately downstream of Sumner Dam near Santa Rosa, New Mexico. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated.

This report presents the results of a sieve analyses of 43 soil samples collected from archeological and borrow sources on Shemya Island, and interpret the results. The objective was to determine if grain size analysis can discriminate between disturbed and in situ archeological soils, and whether samples of midden soils display distinctive grain size distributions.

Two soil samples from a sag pond in a sackung trough in Kushtaka, Alaska, were analyzed for macrofloral remains to recover organic material suitable for radiocarbon dating. A portion of the fine organic fraction from each sample was separated out and submitted for AMS radiocarbon analysis.

Twelve soil samples from Site 7NC-F-18 in northern Delaware were floated to recover charred macrofloral remains. Five samples were recovered from prehistoric pit features and seven samples came from stratified prehistoric levels. Macrofloral analysis is used to provide information concerning plant resources that may have been utilized by the prehistoric occupants of this site.

PROJECT Duane Simpson.

This project sought to develop a non-invasive means to identify the locations of prehistoric and historic human burials using geophysical and soil chemistry. With field investigations conducted at rockshelters, open air sites, and historic cemeteries, geophysical investigations were very effective in identifying burials and other cultural features at all site types. Chemical analysis of the soil to verify burial locations appears to hold greatest promise in historic burials.

The Maycock’s Point site, 44PG40, is a Middle Woodland occupation site located on the shore of the James River in Virginia. Previous analyses conducted on a sample from the site indicate that the exploitation of mussels was the predominate subsistence activity practiced by occupants of the site, followed by fishing and reptile trapping (Christopher M. Stevenson, personal communication December 7, 2005). In order to determine if fresh water tubers, such as Arrow Arum (Peltandra virginica),...

The Oasis of Mara is a permanent spring located in the Mojave desert in Twentynine Palms, California. This spring has served as important source of water and center for human occupation in the high desert region from prehistoric to post World War II. A geologic trench at the site revealed a layer dated to 9000 years BP that represented either an eolian lense or a liquifaction feature within a stratum containing marsh sediments. Seven pollen samples were analyzed from above, below and within...

Five samples from an overlying peat and underlying silt and mud layers within the most recent surface rupture at the Burro Flats Trench Site northeast of the town of Banning in Southern California were submitted for pollen analysis. The analysis was performed in order to determine whether the rupture can be associated with the 1812 Wrightwood earthquake or the Coachella Valley earthquake, circa 1700.

Two pollen samples were collected from inside a mine entrance in Montrose County, Colorado. Pollen analysis was undertaken in an effort to establish a pollen signature that was appropriate for the various radiocarbon-dated intervals that were sampled and to explore differences in the pollen signatures for the two samples examined. Radiocarbon ages of 595 BP and 7100 BP are reported for samples 14 and 16, respectively.

One pollen and one macrofloral sample were selected for analysis from 48SU1144, while one pollen and three macrofloral samples were examined from 48SU1172. Groundstone was washed for pollen from both sites. Pollen and macrofloral analyses concentrated on identification of remains that would indicate subsistence activities at this site.

Site 41MV145 is located approximately six miles east of the Rio-Grande near the western edge of Maverick County in south Texas. The Archaic site was originally recorded as a light surface scatter of burned rock and lithic debris. Subsequent subsurface reconnaissance was conducted, revealing cultural materials to a maximum depth of 70 cmbs, with the densest artifact concentration in the upper 30 cm. The artifact assemblage included a Clearfork biface and a Nueces biface, as well as lithic...
