This table contains Madison point base counts by unit.

DATASET William Engelbrecht.

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."

Site 48SU261 is located in the Green River Basin, south of the town of Pinedale, Wyoming. It is situated within eolian sediments on a low ridge about five miles North of the New Fork River. The site contains an Early Archaic component dated to about 6900 BP and a Late Archaic component dating to 3950 BP. The site consists of two pit features that probably represent occupation structures, one of which contained features within the larger feature, and hearth features outside the presumed...

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.

One soil sample from Site 48SU6933, the Gobblers Know 327 site, was submitted for examination of pollen remains. This prehistoric open camp is located in Sublette County, southwestern Wyoming. Radiocarbon dates from two features at this site returned dates of 3660 ± 40 YBP and 5380 ± 40 YBP, indicating occupation of this site during the Pine Spring phase of the Late Archaic period, and the Opal phase of the Early Archaic period (Joni Stainbrook, personal communication, December 6, 2010). Pollen...

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 five ring middens at five sites in the Guadalupe Mountains of southeastern New Mexico were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. These ring middens represent roasting pits or hearths with fire-cracked rock that were used from the Archaic to the Jornada Mogollon and up through the historic Apache period. The Apache are noted to still use these types of pits to roast agave (Diane Prather, personal communication, September 22, 2010). Radiocarbon dates from these features ranged...

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.

The fill from a single hearth excavated during mitigation at site 48FR5351 in the Wind River Basin of central Wyoming was examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. This site consists of the hearth (Feature 2) and a tight concentration of fire-cracked rock (Feature 1). Charcoal from the hearth yielded a conventional radiocarbon age of 1520 ± 40 BP, placing use of the hearth at the transition from the Late Archaic (2500-1500 BP) to the Late Prehistoric (1500-200 BP). Pollen and macrofloral...

Sediment samples from features at Late Archaic Sites 42WN1975 and 42WN2150 in south-central Utah were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. Pollen and macrofloral analyses will be used to provide information concerning plants available to and utilized by the Late Archaic occupants of these sites.

Fill from the probable floor of a circular, semi-subterranean pithouse at site AR-03-07-03-355 was examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. This site represents multiple occupations of the area over time. Diagnostic artifacts reflect early to late Archaic occupations. Formative period structures, including a late Pueblo II habitation/room block, also are present at the site. Radiocarbon dates of 1210 ± 40 BP and 1220 ± 40 BP were recovered from burned wood in the pithouse. Pollen and...

Site 48CR332, a multicomponent site, is located along the southeastern margin of the Ferris Mountains in central Wyoming. It is situated at an elevation of 6250 feet above sea level at the mouth of Sand Creek Canyon. The canyon is formed by the Ferris Mountains to the west-southwest and Bear Mountain to the south- southeast. A small intermountain basin opens to the north-northeast of the site. Nine stratigraphic pollen samples represent all five components noted at the site, which range from...

The Mattei Site (38BU1765) is a Late Archaic site situated on an elevated marine sand deposit in an upland area of the Atlantic coastal strand near the May River in Beaufort County, South Carolina (Daniel Elliot, personal communication, November 12, 2019). Stalling Phase pottery sherds, chert tool fragments, and multiple features were noted at the site. Sediment samples were collected from two distinct features and submitted for pollen and phytolith analysis.

The Hatch Site (5WL38) and Rattlesnake Shelter (5WL1856) were examined for evidence of extant prehistoric vegetation in the pollen and phytolith records. The Hatch Site (5WL38) is located in the Pawnee National Grasslands of Weld County. Deposits identified as Late Plains Woodland were noted. A single hearth yielded a radiocarbon date of 880 + 50 BP (1070 + 50 AD) . In addition, occupation zones were also noted and identified as Late Plains Woodland. Pollen samples were examined from the hearth...

The Acer Fergii Site, 48CA3227, Campbell County, Wyoming, located a few kilometers north of Antelope Creek, is a Late Plains Archaic and Late Prehistoric campsite. Loam and clay sediments give way to exposed and weathered shales across parts of the site. Local vegetation includes sparse sagebrush, short prairie grasses, and prickly pear cactus. Acer Fergii Site investigations included 25 block excavations, totaling 192 square meters, which identified hearths, lithic debitage and tools, cobble...
