The Blackwater Draw Locality on the llano estacado in northeastern New Mexico has been the focus of archaeological study intermittently over the past several decades. Analysis including both pollen and phytolith proxy records was undertaken to provide paleoenvironmental information for time periods it spanning from the Folsom occupation into post-occupational sediments. Four localities within this area were selected for the initial testing. In part, this testing was exploratory in nature to...

The Searcher Site in Brewster County, Texas contains multiple archaeological sites that are being examined individually. Site 02-387 represents a Late Paleoindian occupation. A pollen and starch analysis of fill from this feature was undertaken to provide information concerning the paleoenvironment and the types of plants that might have been processed.

Pollen associated with the San Dieguito I assemblage recovered at this site seems to be either of an earlier Pleistocene deposit on which the tools rest or a deposit incorporating a modern desert pollen spectrum.

The Bear Creek site (45KI839), a multicomponent Paleoindian site, is situated on the northern bank of the lower reach of Bear Creek in King County, Washington. A core was extracted from undisturbed sediments in the eastern portion of the site using a three-inch diameter, beveled section of ABS tube that was pushed through Strata II, Va, Vb, Vc, and VI. Multiple analyses, including pollen, macrofloral, and diatom, of the core sediments were undertaken to provide information about the...

Pollen, phytolith, and/or protein residue analysis were conducted on a variety of tools and associated soil controls from Rancho Verde, Site W-240, in southern California. Site W-240 exhibits both a Paleo-lndian (San Dieguito) assemblage and an Archaic assemblage. Current debate ranges over whether the groundstone belongs to the Archaic occupation or the Paleolndian occupation. Pollen, phytolith, and protein residue analyses were conducted at this site to assist in identifying the range of...

Site 41HE338, located northeast of Poynor in southeastern Henderson County, Texas, occupies an ecotone between the Pineywoods and Post Oak Savanna ecological regions of East/Northeast Texas. Situated on a generally level Pleistocene strath terrace above Caddo Creek at an elevation of approximately 137 m (450 ft) above mean sea level (amsl) and approximately 15 m (50 ft) above the Caddo Creek floodplain, this site has been occupied intermittently since the Paleoindian period. Radiocarbon dates...

Samples from the Old Place Neck Site (A08501.002971) on Staten Island, New York, were submitted to undergo various analyses including charcoal identification and AMS radiocarbon dating, as well as phytolith, starch, pollen, protein residue, and/or organic residue (FTIR) analysis, the latter using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). One ceramic sherd, accompanied by a soil control sample, was examined for evidence of food processing using pollen, phytolith, and starch analysis....

Pollen and macrofloral samples were collected from areas of midden deposits at the Hueco Tanks State Historic Site, 41EP2, in west Texas. The site was divided into 29 archaeological localities to provide convenient units for analysis and management. Time-diagnostic artifacts from these localities indicate that Hueco Tanks was occupied primarily during the Formative period (A.D. 200-1450), although one Paleoindian (10,000 to 6000 B.C.), several Archaic (6000 B.C. to A.D. 200), and a few...

Four soil samples from a continuous soil column and a paleosol remnant at the Jake Bluff site (34HP60) in northwest Oklahoma were examined for pollen and phytoliths as a preliminary to examine the condition of the pollen and phytoliths and make recommendations for future analysis. Two Clovis artifacts, one Folsom point, and two soil controls from the site also were analyzed for protein residues to identify animals that might have been hunted/processed with these artifacts. The remains of 15...

At the request of the Department of Justice and Dr. Francis P. McManamon, Departmental Consulting Archaeologist of the National Park Service, Department of the Interior, the authors discuss the potential for DNA analysis of the human skeletal remains from Kennewick, Washington that are the objects of the lawsuit now pending (Bonnichsen et al., vs. United States of America, Civil No. 9601481-JE). The purpose of such an analysis would be to determine the genetic affinity of the above individual by...

Suggested sequence of Pre-Ceramic subsistence patterns in the Great Plains Area (circa 9000 B.C. - 1000 A.D.).

DOCUMENT Full-Text Richard P. Wheeler.

In this document, Richard P Wheeler synthesizes in chart form knowledge of Early Man – or rather of pre-pottery making men – in the Plains area according to inferable subsistence patterns, in chronological order. On this level of anthropological abstraction, the task was not difficult because of the scarcity of known information. Wheeler’s perspective also includes a brief history of the development of American paleontology.
