Site 48CR9375, located in the eastern portion of the Washakie Basin, includes several open-air, hearth-tethered activity areas. Radiocarbon dates of 5850 ± 40 BP, 5350 ± 40 BP, and 5760 ± 40 BP were returned on two hearths and an isolated feature, respectively, indicating occupation at the end of the Great Divide phase and beginning of the Opal phase of the Early Archaic Period. A piece of groundstone recovered from an activity area adjacent to Feature 9, an unlined basin hearth, and a control...

Sites 5DA3208 and 5DA3419 are located south of the town of Parker in Douglas County, Colorado. A 2017 excavation of Site 5DA3208 by ERO Resources revealed a multicomponent prehistoric open camp centered on a knoll overlooking Newlin Gulch (Marcus Espinosa, personal communication, November 21, 2018). Based upon identification of associated cultural materials, ERO suggests that Site 5DA3208 was most intensely occupied during the Late Archaic period. Additional evidence for Early Ceramic and Middle...

Site 48SU3993 exhibits three cultural components representing the Great Divide phase of the Early Archaic, the Opal phase of the Early Archaic, and the Pine Spring phase of the Late Archaic. Situated in the northern portion of the Wyoming Basin, this hunter-gatherer open camp represents multiple short-term residential camps. Pollen analysis of the modern surface, three stratigraphic samples, and nine thermal feature samples, as well as starch analysis of the same nine thermal feature samples,...

This large report discussing and interpreting the pollen and macrofloral records for the Beaver Creek sites 48FR3244, 48ER3245, 48ER3243, 48ER3091, 48ER3092, and 48FR3242 is organized to provide information to many different readers. A review of ethnobotanic literature provides a summary of recorded historic uses for many of the plant types represented in this record. This review is meant to provide a guideline for potential uses of the various plants, not to imply that we can reconstruct the...

Two separate areas were excavated at the Buckeye Knoll Site, 41VT98, in southeast Texas. Each of these areas had a stratified sequence. The Knoll Top excavation block contained an Early Archaic cemetery, a few hearth features, and midden deposits. Strata in this excavation block represent the late Paleo-Indian to the Late Prehistoric. A milling stone fragment found in the Knoll Top excavation block was washed for both pollen/starches and protein residues, while general fill, hearth fill,...

A total of 24 lithic artifacts and 3 pieces of groundstone were submitted from the West Blennerhassett site (46WD83-A) on the West Blennerhassett Island in the Ohio River, northwest West Virginia. Samples were recovered from horizons associated with occupations from the Late Early Archaic (c. 6470-6300 B.C.) through the Terminal Early Archaic-Early Middle Archaic (c. 6210-5430 B.C.). The groundstone were washed to recover pollen, phytoliths, and starches to provide evidence for processing...

The Godbey Field Site, 46Wd214, is a multi-component open air site located in Wood County, northwest West Virginia. Five groundstone artifacts dating from the Early Archaic to Middle Woodland periods were examined for pollen, phytoliths, and starches in order to provide information regarding the local environment and plant resources available to the occupants of the site. Additionally, nine lithic artifacts associated with the Early to Middle Archaic periods were tested for possible protein...

Samples were collected and examined from prehistoric sites 42DA1392, 42DC1859, and 42DC1861 in the Ashley National Forest of northwestern Utah. These sites represent multiple occupations of the area. Radiocarbon dates reflect Early Archaic and Fremont occupations at 42DC1392, with Late Archaic and Fremont occupations at 42DC1859 and 42DC1861. Soil samples from these sites were analyzed for evidence of pollen/starches and macrofloral remains. Charcoal was collected from macrofloral samples...

A total of fourteen samples from hearth features at sites 5MF6871, 5MF6872, and 5MF6806 were examined for pollen, starch, and macrofloral remains. These sites were encountered during well pad construction in Powder Wash, Colorado. Radiocarbon dates suggest Settled Period and Pioneer Period (both Early Archaic) occupations at 5MF6806, Settled Period and Aspen Tradition (Formative Era) occupations at 5MF6871, and Pioneer Period and Aspen Tradition occupations at 5MF6872. Pollen, starch, and...

Samples from the fill of hearth features at sites 5MF6871, 5MF6872, and 5MF6806 were examined to recover pollen, starch, and macrofloral remains. Although most of the samples were submitted earlier in the year, an additional six samples from Features 12 through 17 at site 5MF6806 were submitted later for pollen and macrofloral analysis. These sites were encountered during well pad construction in Powder Wash, Colorado. Radiocarbon dates suggest Settled Period and Pioneer Period (both Early...

Site 48CR8818 represents an Early Archaic housepit with three subfloor thermal basins. Radiocarbon dates indicate this housepit was occupied between approximately 5600 and 5850 radiocarbon years BP. One modern and one stratigraphic sample were submitted for pollen analysis and an additional stratigraphic sample was examined for both pollen and starch. Pollen analysis was undertaken to describe the vegetation communities before and at the time of occupation, while starch analysis was added...

Two manos from site 5GA9, an Early and Middle Archaic site in Grand County, Colorado were tested for evidence of pollen, starch, and phytoliths. This site is a large, open lithic scatter spread across the top of a terrace on the east side of the Blue River near the eastern foot of San Toy Mountain. These two manos were examined to provide information concerning plants that might have been ground using these tools.

A total of 20 lithic artifacts from the Raker I site, 36Nb58, in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, were analyzed for possible protein residues to provide information concerning animal resources that might have been hunted/processed using these tools. A possible milling stone found in the fill of a deep, silo-shaped pit also was washed for pollen and starches to determine if plants were ground using this tool. The majority of these artifacts represent a late Middle Archaic to early Late...

Archaeobotanical and organic residue analysis was conducted on a metate, mano, two lithic artifacts, and associated soil controls from sites 42SA21484 and 42SA24114, located in San Juan County, Utah. Site 42SA21484 is an Archaic period lithic scatter, and site 42SA24114 is an Early Archaic lithic quarry and lithic scatter with a historic component. The project area lies within two vegetation communities, the pinyon-juniper woodland and the sagebrush community. Pollen, phytolith, organic residue...
