Prehistoric Sites CM-1, CM-2, CM-3, and CM-4 lie in the Western Mojave Desert subregion northwest of California City in Kern County, California. Features exposed during RE Cinco Project construction grading activities in the area yielded numerous fire-affected rocks, charcoal, and ash (Christopher Duran, personal communication June 24, 2015 and April 20, 2016). Hearth fills from each site were collected for macrofloral analysis to recover and identify plants used by site occupants. In addition,...

Samples from units in three excavation blocks at site 45FS2075 in northeast Washington were examined for charcoal and other macrofloral remains. This site appears to represent pre-contact through contact period occupations. The excavation blocks contained several diffuse hearths consisting of concentrations of fire-cracked rock and bone. Charcoal or charred botanic remains from 34 samples were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. In addition, six lithic artifacts were sampled for protein...

PROJECT Duane Simpson.

This project sought to develop a non-invasive means to identify the locations of prehistoric and historic human burials using geophysical and soil chemistry. With field investigations conducted at rockshelters, open air sites, and historic cemeteries, geophysical investigations were very effective in identifying burials and other cultural features at all site types. Chemical analysis of the soil to verify burial locations appears to hold greatest promise in historic burials.
