Vertebrate faunal remains excavated at the Riverton Site, Illinois (11CW170) under the direction of Joseph R. Caldwell during July and August 1963. Remains were hand troweled and some features were screened with unspecified mesh size (it is presumed that 1/4" mesh was used). Dr. Paul Parmalee analyzed the faunal remains. Dr. Parmalee only recorded attributes for the following variables: taxon, element, completeness (whole vs fragmentary), the number of identified specimens, and miscellaneous...

The Riverton Site is a Late Archaic shell midden located north east of the town of Palestine, Illinois. The site is situated between the Wabash River to the east and an abandoned channel to the west. Prehistorically the area site may have been an island. Dr. Paul Parmalee analyzed the faunal remains. For vertebrate remains, Dr. Parmalee only recorded attributes for the following variables: taxon, element, completeness (whole vs fragmentary), the number of identified specimens, and...

Sachsen Cave Shelter is located on the Upper Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee. "The site was used repeatedly as a residential base camp for small family groups over a long period of time during the Late Archaic Period (ca. 6-3000 BP) by prehistoric hunter gatherers who lived year round in the uplands of Southern Appalachia. These activities include butchering and cooking of large mammals on site, nut processing and cooking, and hide processing and sewing. These activities appear to have been...

This review of data from and interpretations about the archaeology of the outer Cape Cod area considers variation over time as new discoveries led to fuller explanations of the record in this area. Knowledge about the ancient past of the region is cumulative and colored by changes in the analytical perspective of researchers during the second half of the twentieth century. Archaeological data in this area has been brought to the surface, literally. through both purposeful archaeological...

Excavations at sites along the State Route 88-Wheatfields (SR 88-Wheatfields) section documented a 2,500-year cultural sequence (600 B.C.-A.D. 1950) that revealed use of the area in the Late Archaic, Early Formative, Late Formative, Classic, and Historic periods, the last involving Euroamerican and Apache occupations. The SR 88-Wheatfields project documented a range of human adaptations to the complex landscapes along the middle Pinal Creek in the Globe Highlands, near present-day Miami in Gila...

At the beginning, any sharp edge of a thin flake was considered sufficient for a good cutting edge. When the edge became dulled and chipped from use, the flake was discarded and another picked up either as found in nature or struck off from some suitable material. There was no standard for size or shape; the main requirements were that it be large enough to be held in a hand and sufficiently thin, sharp and strong enough to cut skin, flesh and wood. This type of cutting artifact undoubtedly...

This research concerns decorations on hand-built pottery from Spanish Mount (38CH62), a 4,000-year-old, Late Archaic period Native American shellfish mound located next to a tidal creek on Edisto Island, Charleston County, South Carolina. The people of Spanish Mount produced what archaeologists call Thom’s Creek pottery, a sand-tempered ware embellished with punctated linear and curvilinear designs. Although researchers have been studying Thom’s Creek pottery for decades, they have yet to...

This collection is referred to as "Survey of 7245 Acres at Strom Thurmond Lake 2000.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is five and a half (5.5) linear inches. Although the fieldwork was conducted in 1997, this document collection is attributed to 2000. The document collection consists solely of a final report, which was originally housed in acidic folders in an acidic box with other Strom Thurmond Lake...

Archaeological data show acts which may at first appear to involve merely the acquisition of food are, indeed, interwoven with spiritual beliefs and emotions. Bison kill sites have been investigated to gain information regarding hunting strategies and food appropriation. However, some of the sites have yielded additional information taking us beyond the procurement of food, widening our view to include religion, rituals and ceremonialism. The Cooper site (Bement 1999) offers early evidence of...
