The Maycock’s Point site, 44PG40, is a Middle Woodland occupation site located on the shore of the James River in Virginia. Previous analyses conducted on a sample from the site indicate that the exploitation of mussels was the predominate subsistence activity practiced by occupants of the site, followed by fishing and reptile trapping (Christopher M. Stevenson, personal communication December 7, 2005). In order to determine if fresh water tubers, such as Arrow Arum (Peltandra virginica),...

A total of 22 soil samples from various pit contexts were submitted for phytolith and starch analysis with one ceramic fragment submitted for ceramic residue analysis from sites 20OT283 and 20OT3, located in west-central lower Ottawa County, Michigan (Table 1). A total of 9 radiocarbon dates associated with these sites place the timing of the most intensive periods of use in the Late Woodland (Prehistoric) period (Table 2). These sites are thought to represent large resource acquisition,...

Several steatite and ceramic sherds from site 36PE16 in Pennsylvania were analyzed for residues. Previous testing of the site indicated multiple, stratified occupations dating from Paleoindian to Late Woodland. The steatite and ceramic sherds were washed to recover phytoliths and/or starches that would aid in identifying foods cooked using the vessels.

Residue from the bowl of a Late Woodland period clay pipe found at the Military Academy Site in Niantic, Connecticut was submitted for phytolith and organic residue analysis to gain information regarding materials smoked. AMS radiocarbon dating was performed on this residue to obtain a date for the use of the pipe. In addition, the residue was tested for the presence of organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy.

Four sites located in Pennfield Ridge near Cripps Stream in Charlotte County, along the coast in southwest New Brunswick, Canada yielded samples submitted for a variety of analyses. Sites BgDq-38 and BgDp-4 reflect Paleoindian occupations (10,600-11,200 BP), site BgDq-39 reflects the Terminal Archaic and Early Woodland Period (3800-2800 BP), and site BgDq-40 represents a Late Maritime Woodland Period occupation (500-800 BP). The washes from three stone axes at site BgDq-39 were submitted for...

The Unami Creek Open Site, 36BU0445, is situated along Unami Creek in Bucks County, southeastern Pennsylvania. Originally, the site was thought to exhibit evidence of Late Archaic to Early Woodland (3700–2600 BP), Middle Woodland (2000–1700 BP), and Late woodland (1300–465 BP) occupation. Over 5,000 lithic artifacts were recovered, including Fox Creek and Late Woodland triangular projectile points. In addition, a late Woodland radiocarbon date (510–400 BP) was obtained. Fifteen flaked lithics...

Midland Site #8 (20MD38), is a multi-component prehistoric site located in Chippewassee Park, Midland County, Michigan. The site was originally situated on stratified floodplain alluvium near the confluence of the Chippewa and Tittabawasee Rivers. In the 1970s, the city of Midland built Chippewassee Park and buried the site under a gravel parking lot and cleared grassy area (Kevin Schwarz, personal communication, November 12, 2018). Current archaeological investigations were conducted by ASC...

Located in Buck County, Pennsylvania, the Split Site (36BU0449) is situated in a diabase boulder field, perched above extensive wetlands draining into Ridge Valley Creek. The site is divided into eastern and western halves by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension, which destroyed portions of the archaeological site during construction in the 1950s (Joel Dworsky, personal communication, November 5, 2019). The eastern half (Split Site East) produced a high volume of archaeological...

The Lake Shetek Campground Site 3 (21MU54) in Lake Shetek State Park, southwest Minnesota is a multicomponent Plains Village, Woodland, and Archaic site. A single feature from this site was the object of intensive study to place this feature in time and identify its function. A piece of fire-cracked rock from the fill of a fire-cracked rock feature was examined for phytoliths, starches, and organic residues, the latter using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), to determine plant...

Phytolith, macrofloral, and protein residue samples collected from ceramic sherds were examined from Woodland, Late Woodland, and Historic period occupations for the Route 29 Project in Trenton, New Jersey. Phytolith, macrofloral, and/or protein residue samples were collected from the following three major areas: the Rosey Hill Mansion Site [28ME107], which is an historic site contained within the Riverview Executive Park Archaeological Complex, the Water's Edge Archaeological Complex...

Two prehistoric ceramic rim sherds, a soil sample, and a single projectile point/knife were recovered during Phase III archaeological data recovery at the Appomattox Manor dwelling house in the City Point Unit of Petersburg National Battlefield in Hopewell, Virginia. This area is part of a large, multicomponent site. The majority of the ceramic sherds found on a possible living floor/midden (Feature 4) are believed to be associated with the Varina Netimpressed variety, which dates to the...

The origin of Chocolate Plantation (9MC96) as a historic and as an archaeological entity involves a complex narrative. Located on the west side of Sapelo Island, directly adjacent to the Mud River (Figures 1 and 2), Chocolate is situated in an area that proved to be suitable for both prehistoric and historic habitation, a claim that will become abundantly clear in this report. In fact, although this site possesses numerous substantial tabby ruins, it was first defined in the Georgia State Site...
