PROJECT Bonnie Styles.

Little Freeman Cave (23PU565) is a large cave (25 m x 28 m with a current ceiling height of 6 m) situated in the oak-hickory forest on the south facing bluff overlooking the Big Piney River in the Central Ozark Highland in the Fort Leonard Wood military reservation in Pulaski County, Missouri. Phase II testing at the site in 1996 and more extensive excavations in 1997 by the Illinois State Museum (under the direction of Dr. Steven Ahler), under contract with the United States Army Corps of...

On behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation, SWCA Environmental Consultants conducted data recovery investigations of the Llano Crossing site (41MS78) as part of the Ranch-to-Market Road 1871 bridge replacement project (project) (CSJ: 1753-01-017) in Mason County, Texas. Conducted from February 6 to March 21, 2019, the field investigations revealed a deeply stratified multicomponent prehistoric site that includes sparse but isolable occupations of multiple intervals from Paleoindian...

Three soil samples from two possible hearths and one cobble-filled hearth discovered during recent excavations at prehistoric site 5EP211 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, were floated to recover macrofloral remains. In addition, two fragments of charred wood posts were submitted for identification. Site 5EP211 is a small open camp located along Interstate 25 (I-25) that might be the remnant of a much larger site that has subsequently been destroyed. Radiocarbon dates obtained from charcoal,...

The floated light fractions from five samples at Site CA-SDI-13078 (Rhodes Crossing Project) were analyzed for macrofloral remains. This site is located in San Diego, California, and radiocarbon dates reflect Late Archaic and Late Prehistoric occupations. Samples were recovered from columns in two control units, one of which contained a small hearth. Macrofloral analysis is used to determine plant resources processed at the site, as well as wood burned as fuel.

The fill from three hearth samples at the Pinnacles site (39PN9) in the South Dakota Badlands National Park were processed for both pollen and macrofloral analyses. The floated light fractions from two additional hearth samples and two cultural levels exposed in vertical profiles also were examined for macrofloral remains. Samples were obtained from two different areas of the site that represent two different occupations. Area 932 yielded a corrected date of 379 B.C. and represents a Late...

A single sediment sample was recovered from Unit N971.87/E973.75 during Phase III excavations at the Betzwood Boathouse, located in Valley Forge National Historic Park, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. This sample was examined for macrofloral remains and for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR). Charcoal from the macrofloral sample was AMS radiocarbon dated. Three projectile points from the unit were analyzed for protein residues. Diagnostic artifacts suggest a...

The Marquette Viaduct Replacement Project (20BY28/387) represents a continuation of decades of archaeological work in an industrial area near downtown Bay City, MI along the west bank of the Saginaw River approximately 2 km. from the mouth of the river where it empties into Saginaw Bay of Lake Huron. Occupation of the area begins in the Late Archaic and all subsequent prehistoric cultural periods are represented as well as the historic Fletcher Site, a large 18th century Native American...

The paper summarizes the faunal and floral remains for the Middle and Late Archaic Zones at the Weber I site as these occupations inform subsistence, seasonality, and palaeoecological reconstruction. Figures illustrate maps of spatial distribution of remains. Paper includes description of geographic setting, site description, recovery strategy, and analytic methodology.

The 1953 excavation at Modoc Rock Shelter (11R5) was directed by Howard D. Winters and sponsored by the University of Chicago and the Illinois State Museum. Winters excavated two areas. An L-shaped area in the central portion of the Main Shelter area - was excavated in arbitrary 6-inch levels down to bedrock at a depth of about 19 feet below the post-road fill removal ground surface, or circa 118.72 m AMSL). The other area, which was located at the edge of the West Pillar, was excavated from...

The 1956 field season placed a deep excavation in the West Shelter area, and provided material from zones deeper than in previous years. An area approximately 20 x 30 feet was excavated in a contiguous block to circa 16 feet below the existing ground surface (the area had been subjected to removal of road fill). 117 5 x 5 foot units were excavated in 1-foot increments (levels). Dr. Melvin L. Fowler (Illinois State Museum) directed the excavations. The work was sponsored by the Illinois State...

This project includes data from the 1980 excavation season at Modoc Rock Shelter (11R5). The 1980 archaeological excavation was conducted by Drs. Bonnie Styles and Melvin Fowler under the auspices of the Illinois State Museum and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Funding was provided by a grant from the Department of Interior (Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service) to the Illinois State Museum Society. Initial excavations at Modoc were conducted in 1952, 1953, 1955, and 1956 by Dr....

The 1953 faunal remains from the Central Pit at Modoc Rock Shelter (11R5) were initially identified by Paul W. Parmalee of the Illinois State Museum. In 1980, Karli White and Bonnie Styles (Illinois State Museum) re-examined the 1953 identifications, augmented the identifications, and entered them into a database.

Gastropod remains from the 1956 field season deep excavation in the West Shelter area. Gastropods were recovered via either hand picking or screening through 1/4" (6.4mm) mesh. In 1991, a sample of 1956 strata was chosen by Steven R. Ahler to represent a contiguous cross-section of the 1956 excavations. The gastropod samples from the 1956 excavation were identified and analyzed by James L. Theler (University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse). In 2015, Mona Colburn (Illinois State Museum) entered data...

The 1980 excavations at Modoc Rock Shelter collected an approximately 4 liter sediment sample from each of the major stratigraphic zones exposed in the profiles in the West Shelter for malacological analysis. David Baerreis (University of Wisconsin, Madison) and James Theler (University of Wisconsin, Madison) and identified an analyzed the gastropods recorded in this database.

The database includes gastropods identified and analyzed by James Theler (University of Wisconsin, Madison). The gastropods were recovered in the heavy fraction from flotation samples, usually 15 liters in volume, from Excavation Units C, D, and F from the 1980 excavations in the West Shelter at Modoc Rock Shelter.

This data set contains the vertebrate and freshwater mussel data excavated in 1984 from the East Pillar and processed with 1/4" waterscreening. The East Pillar is located within the Main Shelter area of Modoc; it includes Units G, H, and J (no bones were identified from J). Vertebrate remains were identified by Mona Colburn using the Illinois State Museum Osteological Comparative Collection, and checked by Dr. Bonnie Styles. Freshwater mussels were identified by Bonnie Styles and verified...

Faunal remains reported here were recovered by dry-screening through 1/4 inch mesh and from flotation (heavy fraction) using 1/16 inch mesh. Using the comparative faunal collection at the Illinois State Museum, Paula Thorson identified vertebrate remains from 1/4" screen and flotation and Dr. Bonnie Styles identified freshwater mussels from 1/4" screen only. Dr. Bonnie W. Styles directed the faunal analyses and verified faunal identifications.
