PROJECT Patrick J. Mundon. US Army Corps of Engineers Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections, St. Louis District. US Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District.

The USACE, Louisville District obtained the collection through an archaeological test excavation at the Pine Grove Site, Lake Monroe Reservoir in 1987. Limited excavations at the Pine Grove Site (12MO183) were done by GBL in contract with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Divisions of Reservoirs. A possible Paleoindian component, continuing severe erosion, and the discovery of four pothunter holes prompted the site investigation. The fieldwork was conducted under the supervision...

Observations on Madison point bases from Eaton. Shape (1 = straight, 2 = incurvate, 3 = excurvate, 4 = indeterminate). Width (mm). Ears (none = 0, 1 = yes [1 or 2]). Unifacial (0 = bifacial, 1 = largely unifacial). Symmetry (0 = symmetrical base, 1 = asymmetrical base [not broken], 2 = 1 broken corner, 3 = both corners broken, 4 = can't be determined). Use Wear ( none = 0, yes = 1, [may include grinding]). Basal grinding is listed in comments if use wear not clearly present.

This table tabulates point mid-sections by unit. Point mid-sections that fit with point bases or tips are tabulated here and again in the "Point Refit Table." These mid-sections are believed to be from Madison Points. See also "Distribution of Projectile Points and Projectile Point Fragments."

Fourteen pollen samples were examined from a stratigraphic column, two features, a prehistoric surface, and a mano at the Hanging Hearth site (5RB 454) in northwestern Colorado. Hanging Hearth, a stratified site located in Rio Blanco County, exhibits evidence of at least five occupations. The stratigraphic pollen record was examined to address changes in local and regional vegetation through time. Pollen analysis of features and other samples with cultural associations was undertaken to...

Pruitt Shelter No. 1 (3NW1308) is situated along a steep bluff face of the Buffalo River, Newton County, Arkansas. Site 3NW1308 is estimated to have been occupied during the Late Pleistocene or Early Holocene, as well as during the Early Archaic through the Late Mississippian, the latter represented by lithics recovered from the site. A midden that appears to have been deposited between approximately AD 600 and 1600 was sampled for pollen analysis.

Thirteen stratigraphic samples were submitted for pollen analysis from site 36WO80, Deer Park, Pennsylvania. The site is located along Tunkhannock Creek in Wyoming County. The stratigraphic record, including some flood episodes, represents an period of sediment accumulation during the Mid-to-Late-Archaic, based on recovery of projectile points.

Site 48CR10089, the Hugus Cliffs Site, is located in the northwestern portion of the Kindt Basin. Situated on an alluvial fan at the base of Hugus Cliff and along the western margin of an unnamed tributary of Little Sage Creek, this site represents a Middle to Late Archaic open camp. Twelve features are situated within an extensive stain. Radiocarbon dates obtained from seven hearths place occupation generally between 4260 ± 30 and 4030 ± 30 BP, with a single intrusive hearth dating 1520 ± 30...

Site 48CR9097represents an Early to Late Archaic occupation containing five features and divided into a Prehistoric Camp and Faunal Block. Radiocarbon dates obtained for Feature 1, noted at a depth of 26–34 cmbgs, and Feature 3, recovered at a depth of 53–93 cmbgs are reported as 1800 ± 30 and 5300 ± 30 BP, respectively. Three pollen samples were examined from the Prehistoric Camp block, and two pollen samples were examined from the Faunal Block.

Site 13DB674 is situated on terrace within an actively cultivated cornfield extending southeast of the junction of east/west-trending Seippel Road and north/south-trending Cousins Road in Dubuque County, Iowa. A lithic artifact concentration consisting of tertiary flake reductions was discovered at the site, with cultural materials recovered from two separate stratigraphic formation members, recognized by geologists as Gunder (c. 10,500–3,000 BP) and Roberts Creek (c. 4,000–500 BP) (Leah Rogers,...

Samples from three columns at Site 48001712 in the southern Powder Basin of northeastern Wyoming were examined for pollen , and a mano was washed to recover pollen from the ground surface. In addition, flotation sanples from five hearths and a charcoal scatter were sampled for macrofloral remains. Two activity areas were noted at this site that are separated by about 80 meters. Radiocarbon dates suggest a Middle Archaic occupation, with the possibility of an earlier Early Archaic component....

Samples from the fill of three concentrations of burned rock and soil interpreted as hearths from sites 32MV318 and 32MV319 were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. These sites are located in the Dos Republicas project area near Elm Creek, a tributary to the Rio Grande River, in southern Texas. Radiocarbon dates from these three features reflect Middle and Late Archaic occupations. Pollen and macrofloral analyses will be used to provide information concerning plant resources utilized by...

Samples from four sites in the Coral Canyon II archaeological project in southwest Utah were examined for pollen and/or macrofloral remains. These sites represent Middle Archaic Late Archaic, and Southern Paiute occupations of the area. Pollen and macrofloral analyses are used to provide subsistence information concerning plant resources available to, and possibly processed by, the various occupants of the sites.

Sites 5DA 1951 and 5DA 1957 are multi-component sites within the boundaries of the Rueter-Hess Reservoir Project in Douglas County, Colorado. Radiocarbon dates and diagnostic artifacts obtained from the sites indicate occupations ranging from the Early Ceramic through the Middle Archaic periods. A mano and metate, along with soil control samples, were washed and examined for pollen. Additionally, twenty bulk sediment samples were floated to recover macrofloral remains. Pollen and...

Soil samples from the lower fill of a deep, slab-lined fire/roasting pit at site 5SM232 on the Uncompahgre Plateau in southwest Colorado were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. This site is a multi-component archaeological site containing diagnostic artifacts dating from the Middle Archaic to the Protohistoric periods. Charcoal from the pit yielded a conventional radiocarbon age of 6780 ± 80 BP, indicating an Early Archaic occupation. Pollen and macrofloral analyses were conducted...

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...
