Changes in Animal Use through Time at Fusihatchee (1EE191) (1999)
Archaeological sites appropriate for the study of subsistence change resulting from European-Native American contact are uncommon in the southeastern United States. One of these sites is Fusihatchee (1EE191), a Creek town in what is now Alabama. Materials from Fusihatchee were deposited during four time periods spanning the Contact Period, permitting a diachronic analysis of Creek subsistence practices. Vertebrate and some invertebrate remains were studied. The Late Mississippian component...

Channel Islands National Park and Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary: Submerged Cultural Resources Assessment (1996)
This report gathers together historical and archeological information on vessels that wrecked within the boundaries of Channel Islands National Park and Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary before 1980, when the two preserves were established off the southern coast of California. It summarizes, as well, a series of archeological investigations of wreck scatters in this area that began in the early 1980s with Dan Lenihan's dives on the Winfield Scott and continued after 1985 under the...
Chapter 9: Clear-Cutting, Reforestation, and the Coming of the Interstate: Vermont’s Photographic Record of Landscape Use and Response (2010)
In this chapter, we use both original and repeat images of Vermont to document how the landscape has responded to human actions that include deforestation, reforestation, and road building. We use three examples to demonstrate how repeat photography of the same site at different times can be used to document—both qualitatively and quantitatively— landscape response to human actions with the thought that, by examining past landscape responses, we can better inform future land-use decisions. The...
Chapters in the Archeology of Cape Cod, I: Results fo the Cape Cod National Seashore Archeological Survey, 1979-1981, volume 2 (1984)
The report, which is volume 2, deals with various kinds of prehistoric remains in a series of chapters. Each chapter uses a common set and sequence of units of analysis to minimize confusion about the identity and locations of concentrations. A series of foldout maps will help with the geographic orientation as well. Eight chapters are included in Volume 2. One of these is a description and analysis of the kinds of archeological deposits and lithic assemblages found by the survey. Another...

Chapters in the Archeology of Cape Cod, IV: Faunal Analysis and Metallurgical Analysis from the Cape Cod National Seashore Archeological Survey (2011)
Between 1979 and 1985 the National Park Service conducted an archeological survey of most of the area of the Cape Cod National Seashore (CACO). Many ancient and historic period sites were identified and evaluated. Some of the evaluated sites also had small areas excavated. The areas around Nauset Harbor in Eastham and High Head in North Truro contained high concentrations of sites. Additional archeological investigations were carried out at some of the sites in these two areas. Figure 1 shows...
CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF A SAMPLE FROM FORT LIGONIER, 36WM71, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA (2018)
Fort Ligonier (36WM71), an 18th Century fortified supply outpost, is tied to the British military’s Forbes Expedition. The fort is located in the Laurel Highlands section of the Allegheny Plateau on a hilltop in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. A wood sample suspected to be from part of the main gate’s artillery battery defense was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating.
CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF SAMPLES FROM SITES 59-73 AND 59-111, NEW LONDON COUNTY, CONNECTICUT (2018)
Sites 59-111 and 59-73 are situated in Groton, New London County, Connecticut and are 17th century Native American archaeological sites. Site 59-73 is situated atop a flat hilltop east of Site 59-111, and both sites are located in wooded areas that overlook the wetlands to the east. Two charcoal samples from each site were submitted for AMS radiocarbon age determination that are believed to date to the Pequot War (1636–1637), suggesting a possibility the two sites were related to the conflict.
CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF A SAMPLE FROM OUTSIDE OF THE NORTHWEST CURTILAGE AT THOMAS JEFFERSON’S POPLAR FOREST, BEDFORD COUNTY, VIRGINIA (2015)
Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest is located in Forest, near the city of Lynchburg in Bedford County, Virginia. The current archaeological investigation of an area adjacent to the northwester quadrant of the curtilage (a 61-acre fenced space Jefferson built around his retreat house) was conducted prior to the construction of a new entrance road into the grounds. A single charcoal sample, collected from Layer C in the shovel test pit (ER7323) outside the curtilage, was submitted for identification...
CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF A SAMPLE FROM THE CARRIAGE TURNAROUND AT THOMAS JEFFERSON’S POPLAR FOREST, BEDFORD COUNTY, VIRGINIA (2014)
Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest is located near the city of Lynchburg in Bedford County, Virginia. Jefferson began construction of his private retreat house in 1806, finishing the octagonal portion of the house in 1809. The house is situated on the top of the hill and is surrounded by an ornamental landscape that was designed and planted by Jefferson. The current archaeological investigation within a carriage turnaround on the north side of the house is part of the landscape restoration (Jack...
Charles McKenzie's Narratives of the "Mississouri Indians:" A New Transcription (1980)
The documents that follow are new literal transcriptions of several handwritten narratives describing the experiences and observations of Charles McKenzie among the Hidatsa and Mandan Indians from 1804 to 1806. They were originally published in 1889-90 by Louis Francois Rodrigue Masson as part of a collection of first-hand accounts of the fur trading operations of the North west Company (Masson 1960). These transcriptions are an interim product of a larger, in-progress study undertaken by W....

The Chemical Variability of Carbonized Organic Matter through Time (1992)
The interdependent dynamics of climate, biota, relief, parent material and time affect the evolution of both soils and archaeological remains within the soil. Carbonized organic matter, charcoal, is one class of archaeological material subject to these environmental factors. Although charcoal is generally presumed to be immune to environmental influences, chemical analyses of feature soils containing charcoal from archaeological sites throughout New England demonstrate its susceptibility to the...
