The Skull Hearth Site (48CA214) contains Middle Plains Archaic, Late Plains Archaic, and Late Prehistoric campsites. One house pit (S2B4-F2) contained seven thermal features clustered and slightly offset from the center of the house pit that probably represent hearths and ovens. Fill from these the features was submitted and examined for pollen and phytolith evidence of economic activity. Three charcoal and two botanic samples recovered from S1B6-F1 and S1B7-F1 were submitted for identification.

Sites 5DA3208 and 5DA3419 are located south of the town of Parker in Douglas County, Colorado. A 2017 excavation of Site 5DA3208 by ERO Resources revealed a multicomponent prehistoric open camp centered on a knoll overlooking Newlin Gulch (Marcus Espinosa, personal communication, November 21, 2018). Based upon identification of associated cultural materials, ERO suggests that Site 5DA3208 was most intensely occupied during the Late Archaic period. Additional evidence for Early Ceramic and Middle...

This large report discussing and interpreting the pollen and macrofloral records for the Beaver Creek sites 48FR3244, 48ER3245, 48ER3243, 48ER3091, 48ER3092, and 48FR3242 is organized to provide information to many different readers. A review of ethnobotanic literature provides a summary of recorded historic uses for many of the plant types represented in this record. This review is meant to provide a guideline for potential uses of the various plants, not to imply that we can reconstruct the...

Site 41HE338, located northeast of Poynor in southeastern Henderson County, Texas, occupies an ecotone between the Pineywoods and Post Oak Savanna ecological regions of East/Northeast Texas. Situated on a generally level Pleistocene strath terrace above Caddo Creek at an elevation of approximately 137 m (450 ft) above mean sea level (amsl) and approximately 15 m (50 ft) above the Caddo Creek floodplain, this site has been occupied intermittently since the Paleoindian period. Radiocarbon dates...

Fossil pollen, phytoliths, macrofloral remains, and charcoal from archeological and geological sites at the Jewett Mine, Texas are analyzed in this appendix. Pollen analysis provides an overview of regional vegetation and hence paleoenvironments for this area. Pollen columns were collected at an alluvial geological site in the Buffalo Creek floodplain and at an archeological site, 41LN106, in the Lambs Creek drainage for this reconstruction. Companion phytolith samples were collected from the...

The Sorbello 1 Site (28-Sa-214) is located in Oldmans Township, Salem County, New Jersey. The site is bordered by Beaver Creek to the north and the Beaver Creek confluence and Myers Run to the northeast. Diagnostic tools recovered from the Sorbello 1 Site date to the Late Archaic Period (circa 4,000–1,500 BP), and Locus 5 dates to the Middle Archaic, spanning to the Transitional Archaic or Early Woodland. Eleven samples, including fire cracked rock (FCR) sediment and lithic artifacts, were...

The Spotted Pony site (5BL82) is an Early-Middle Archaic campsite situated in a small grassland clearing along the middle fork of the St. Vrain River in western Boulder County, Colorado. Dates for the site average to 5390 ± 25 RCYBP, placing it with the Mt. Albion complex of the middle Holocene period (Jason La Belle, personal communication February 23, 2015). A milling slab and handstone recovered from the site were submitted for pollen, phytolith, starch, protein residue (CIEP), and organic...

A total of 24 lithic artifacts and 3 pieces of groundstone were submitted from the West Blennerhassett site (46WD83-A) on the West Blennerhassett Island in the Ohio River, northwest West Virginia. Samples were recovered from horizons associated with occupations from the Late Early Archaic (c. 6470-6300 B.C.) through the Terminal Early Archaic-Early Middle Archaic (c. 6210-5430 B.C.). The groundstone were washed to recover pollen, phytoliths, and starches to provide evidence for processing...

Fill from two features at Site 41BS611 in Big Bend National Park, Texas, were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. Two ground stone samples also were washed to recover pollen/starches, while 20 flaked stone artifacts were analyzed for possible protein residues. This site is noted to be a large, open campsite containing stone-paved hearths and a lithic scatter. Diagnostic artifacts suggest Middle Archaic, Late Archaic, and Late Prehistoric occupations, while radiocarbon dates from three...

Fourteen ceramics from the Reeders Creek West site, 28Me360, were submitted for examination of organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). In addition, four sediment samples were examined for pollen, while two projectile point–type artifacts and a projectile point base were analyzed for possible protein residues. This site is a Native American campsite located above the Delaware River in Mercer County, New Jersey. This stratified site contains Middle Archaic through...

Two manos from site 5GA9, an Early and Middle Archaic site in Grand County, Colorado were tested for evidence of pollen, starch, and phytoliths. This site is a large, open lithic scatter spread across the top of a terrace on the east side of the Blue River near the eastern foot of San Toy Mountain. These two manos were examined to provide information concerning plants that might have been ground using these tools.

A total of 20 lithic artifacts from the Raker I site, 36Nb58, in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, were analyzed for possible protein residues to provide information concerning animal resources that might have been hunted/processed using these tools. A possible milling stone found in the fill of a deep, silo-shaped pit also was washed for pollen and starches to determine if plants were ground using this tool. The majority of these artifacts represent a late Middle Archaic to early Late...
