The Lower Zuni River Archaeological District is located approximately 39 km (24 miles) northeast of St. Johns, Arizona where the Zuni River crosses the Arizona-New Mexico state line (Figures 1 and 2). Within this district are 89 archaeological sites that represent extensive prehistoric occupation of the area between about A.D. 800 and A.D. 1175, and historic use and occupation dating from the 1880s. A wide range of prehistoric site types are represented. Several ceramic and lithic...

Macrobotanicals were analyzed from a sub-floor pit in a 19th century slave cabin located at Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest plantation (Virginia) during the tenure of the Hutter family as plantation owners. The thousands of seed and wood remains recovered illustrate that the slaves’ main subsistence strategies were provisioning, or receiving food from the plantation owner, production, or growing their own food, and the procurement of wild resources. These various subsistence strategies...

Site CA-SMA-71 (Sánchez Adobe) lies in the Sánchez Adobe Park Historic District in the City of Pacifica, San Mateo County, California. Both prehistoric and historic components are represented, including intact deposits, features and a Native American human burial (Breana Campbell, personal communication September 26, 2017). Fill from a pit feature containing fire affected rocks, shell, charcoal, and ash was submitted for macrofloral analysis to identify food and fuel related activities of site...

The 705/707 Bristol Avenue Site (NYSM 12180) in Utica, Oneida County, New York, consists of two historic attached townhouses, a sheet midden, two cisterns, a privy, and several unidentified features. Built in 1868, near the old Chenango Canal, Utica, the site’s domestic cultural materials indicate children’s activities during diverse late nineteenth century immigrant occupation. Mainly a Polish neighborhood by the turn of century, it remained occupied until the building’s demolition in 2013...

Approximately 50 pounds of fill from the north half of Feature 78, a large cache pit at site 39DW347 in north-central south Dakota, was floated to recover charred macrofloral remains. This site contains material from both a historic (early to mid-twentieth century) occupation and a Plains Village period (ca. A.D. 900 to 1865) affiliation. The prehistoric component consists of a midden overlying several features, including a house structure. Macrofloral analysis of the hearth fill will be...

Macrofloral analysis was conducted on the fill from single outhouse features at sites 24LC1716 and 24LC1723 in Cave Gulch, Helena National Forest, west-central Montana. These sites represent placer mining camps. The deposit at 24LC1716 is believed to date to the 1860s or 1870s, while the deposit at 24LC1723 might date to the 1870s to 1880s. Macrofloral analysis is used to provide information concerning foods eaten by the occupants of these two camps.

The Santa Barbara Presidio site (CA-SBA-133) is a 19th Century Spanish/Mexican Period site located in Santa Barbara, California. Two bulk sediment samples excavated from a trash pit at the fort were submitted for flotation and macrofloral analysis. The goal of the project is to better understand the trading relationship between the presidio soldiers and the local Chumash tribe.

Samples from several sites in the Ancho Canyon Mine Area, New Mexico, were examined for macrofloral remains. This area appears to be one where several cultures overlapped. Radiocarbon dates range from 290 B.C. to A.D. 1870, representing Late Archaic through historic Jicarilla Apache occupations. Macrofloral analysis is used to provide information concerning subsistence activities at these sites.

Seven water-screened samples from an historic late-nineteenth century Chinese habitation site in San Francisco’s Mission District, California, were examined for macrofloral remains. This site was discovered during excavation of a five-acre parcel during the Valencia Gardens Housing Project. The macrofloral samples were recovered in the architectural remnants of a structure occupied by Chinese vegetable farmers before the Great Earthquake of 1906. Macrofloral analysis will provide...

Red Canyon Ranch, located in the foothills of the Owl Creek Mountains southwest of Thermopolis, Wyoming, contains evidence for multiple human occupations from Paleoindian to Historic times. Archaeological investigations and subsequent archaeobotanical analyses and radiocarbon age determinations span a period of several years and are currently ongoing. To facilitate these analyses, a single site designation of 48HO375 has been assigned. The earliest investigation centered on two hearths: one...

The goal of the Permian Basin MOA Task Order 10 was to analyze 500 AMS radiocarbon samples collected from feature context by the Carlsbad Field Office Cultural Resource Staff (including recovering and identifying charcoal and/or burned annual remains from each of the samples prior to selecting the best item to date), as well as analyzing 500 duplicate samples collected at the same locations for environmental and subsistence related evidence using starch, phytolith, and macrobotanical analyses....

Site 13DB889 is situated within a historic, urban neighborhood along Rhomberg and Kniest Streets in the City of Dubuque, Iowa. The nineteenth to twenty-first century homes were occupied predominantly by working-class, German Catholic residents (Leah D. Rogers, personal communication August 10, 2016). Several privies, possibly used into the 1910s, were sampled for pollen, parasite, and macrofloral analyses. Pollen and macrofloral analyses of privy fill provide information concerning foods eaten...

Six sediment samples and two adobe brick samples from the Espinosa Adobe, Site CA-MNT-1429H, were floated to recover macrofloral remains. One of the adobe brick samples also was examined for pollen and phytoliths. This site contained an adobe dwelling constructed in 1823 by Salvador Maria Espinosa. The adobe building survived through 1930, but was in ruins by 1954. Macrofloral analysis will be used to provide information to help determine the local plant population at the time of the adobe...

Twenty-seven samples from three privies (Features 6, 14 and 62) discovered at Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, California, were submitted for archaeobotanic analyses. These three privies are associated with a German immigrant community that dated to the latter half of the nineteenth century. Each of the samples was analyzed for macrofloral remains, pollen, starch, and the presence or absence of parasites. One sample from each privy was also examined for phytoliths. The macrofloral,...

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...

Samples from the fill of a hearth and an earth oven at site LA 155815 and from an area of burned sediment with ash and charcoal associated with ceramic sherds at site LA 156001 were floated to recover macrofloral remains. Three wood samples from posts surrounding the hearth and an earth oven were submitted for identification. In addition, a column sample from an area that borders the location of a 1620 temporary field hut believed to have been used to farm and tend sheep at LA 155815 was...

Despite its isolation, tough, independent-minded pioneers from Tennessee and Kentucky gradually settled the land between the Big Piney River and Roubidoux Creek in southern Pulaski County, Missouri, beginning in the early nineteenth century. This book relates the settlement history and use of this beautiful but tenuous Missouri Ozark region from its initial exploration to its purchase by the U.S. Army just prior to World War II for the construction of Fort Leonard Wood. It is a story of a...

This table describes 114 Madison Point refits (point tips, point mid-sections, point bases). One triple match was made between a point base, a mid-section, and a tip. A mid-section and tip formed a refit, as did 10 mid-sections with 10 bases. One hundred and two point bases were refit with tips.
