Boon Horizon Eleven Dataset
Summary
Samples used in this dataset include both macro-remains (trowel recovery) and micro-remains (flotation recovery) from Units 250, 208, and 165 within Horizon 11 of the Koster Site. These data are included in the combined Horizon Eleven Macro and Micro files also preserved in tDAR. Sampling for Unit 208 and a portion of 165 was conducted using 6 by 6 foot block excavations divided into four quadrants while Unit 250 and a portion of 165 was excavated in sixteen 45.7 cm (18 in) squares. Debris measuring one inch or larger was plotted two-dimensionally within each 2-inch level. Additionally, three site-long, 45.7 cm wide transects were excavated across Horizon 11, two of which ran through units 208 and 165. Objects larger than .6 cm (.25 in) recovered from the transects were piece-plotted with three dimensional provenience information. The heavy fraction flotation sample was sieved through 4mm, 3mm and 2mm U.S. standard geological sieves, with analysis and identification conducted on specimens 2mm or larger. Analysis and identification of the macro- and micro-remains was performed by Boon using comparative collections at the Illinois State Museum Research and Collections Center and Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Department of Anthropology.

Notes
General Note: The Koster faunal databases loaded in tDAR were identified by several zooarchaeologists. Frederick C. Hill and his assistants identified much of the early material collected in test units dug in 1969 as well as materials from the excavation of Horizons 1-6. Hill's 1975 dissertation (see reference list associated with this project) is a primary source for this material. Sarah W. Neusius identified faunal remains from Horizons 8-10B as well as a small sample of materials from Horizon 11. Her 1982 dissertation as well as a 1986 article (see references) are the primary sources for this material. John Hewitt created the faunal file for Horizons 8-10B identifications in conjunction with his own 1982 dissertation (see references) Andrea L. Boon completed a MA thesis on a large sample of materials from Horizon 11 and reported on this research in her 2011 thesis (see references).
Source Collections
The Koster fauna remains are held by the Illinois State Museum, although some materials may remain with the Center for American Archaeology in Kampsville, IL.
