Intense use occurred around the middle of the nineteenth century, first by ranchers, and,...

Volume IV of the PRE-COLUMBIAN BURIAL RITES series consists of a comprehensive examination and discussion of specific mortuary behaviors and characteristics utilized by the prehistoric inhabitants of the Southeast Region of North America. The study of burial practice is useful to the discussion of the complexities of population traits because on a societal scale, similarity or differentiation of patterning in the disposal of the dead has been considered one of the basic identifying "signatures"...

Mortuary Practice Among Prehistoric North Americans: Plains Region, is Volume II of the five volume set entitled PRE-COLUMBIAN BURIAL RITES. Twelve years of research that covered North America between the Rockies and the Appalachians provided a comprehensive multi-regional database consisting of 97,821 deceased individuals from 3,678 prehistoric burial sites. From that database I formulated a Plains region database consisting of 13,104 deceased individuals from 1,229 burial sites within Montana,...

The results of a program of archaeological survey and test excavations at the Surprise Spring site (CA-SBr-424) are presented. The site is located on the U.S. Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, California. The springs are formed by tectonic activity along a ridge immediately east of the site. Prior to 1941, the springs flowed above ground. Continual pumping of water has dropped the water table to around 250 feet below surface, thereby suppressing the springs. The area...

Prior to the flooding of Lake Powell and the establishment of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, an ambitious salvage program was completed by The Museum of Northern Arizona and The University of Utah. Many instances of prehistoric and historic steps and trails were recorded. While conducting shoreline ecology research, we became interested in the trail system as disclosed by the steps and trails still evident along the shore. Steps, as pecked by stone tools or picked by metal tools, and...

Large portions of the world once were occupied by human populations subsisting by hunting, fishing and the gathering of wild plants. Archeologists have long been interested in understanding and explaining the life ways of these prehistoric populations. Human cultural evolution having proceeded as it did, almost no written records exist that report on human populations pursuing such a way of life in deciduous and boreal forestlands exist. This is unfortunate for ethnographic analogy, when...

Preliminary analysis of archaeological survey data indicates that prehistoric land use of coastal southern New England (represented by outer Cape Cod, Massachusetts) was year-round and more diverse than has been suggested by the traditional emphasis on coastal shell middens. Prehistoric settlement seems to have been concentrated mainly in a few locations with large intervening unsettled areas. A stratified random sampling strategy allowed estimates of the relative frequency of different kinds...
