The Application of Relfectance Spectroscopy to Chert Provenance of Mississippian Symbolic Weaponry
PROJECT Uploaded by: Ryan Parish

Determination of the source of chert artifacts ties past peoples to specific locations on the landscape either through direct or indirect procurement strategies allowing researchers to visualize interactions with both resources and people. However, due to inherent variability accurate provenance data often remains elusive. The reliance upon chert provenance data obtained through macroscopic techniques is problematic and emphasizes the importance of continued research and development of...


Beautifying the Bleak: Ornamental Landscaping at German POW Camp D-D, Fort Campbell, KY (2022)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Nichole Sorensen-Mutchie. Ronald Grayson.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Approximately 1,000 German soldiers were held as prisoners of war at Camp D-D from 1943-1946. During their confinement, POWs would plant ornamental vegetation to beautify the otherwise sterile landscape. Although partially destroyed, portions of Camp D-D have not been impacted by subsequent land use. Recent pedestrian survey of the site has revealed extant non-native, ornamental...

Evaluating Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy as a Non-Destructive Chert Sourcing Technique
PROJECT Uploaded by: Ryan Parish

The visual and chemical similarity between some chert types and individual outcrops within the same geologic formation often hinders accurate provenance determination. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) reflectance micro-spectroscopy is a non-destructive method demonstrating potential application in chert sourcing. Prior to analysis of archaeological assemblages the accuracy of the technique and analytical methodology must be tested. The current study examines a sample database of two visually...
