Environment Research (Investigation Type)

Modoc Rock Shelter, IL (11R5)-1984 Unit D 1/4" Faunal data (1984)
DATASET Mona Colburn. Bonnie Styles.

Unit D was excavated in an elevated non-sheltered area between the Main Shelter and the West Shelter (the latter was excavated earlier, in 1980). Unit D shows that the two shelters areas at Modoc have independent and separate stratigraphies, and that they need to be treated as two sites. Faunal remains were recovered via 1/4" waterscreen and 1/16 " waterscreen. Remains include vertebrates, freshwater mussels, and gastropods. Faunal remains were identified by Mona Colburn using the...


Modoc Rock Shelter, IL (11R5)-1984 West Pillar 1/4" Faunal data (1984)
DATASET Mona Colburn. Bonnie Styles.

Faunal remains were excavated from the West Pillar (Unit F) at Modoc Rock Shelter (11R5) and processed with 1/4" waterscreening. Remains include vertebrates, gastropods, and freshwater mussels. Remains were identified by Mona Colburn using the Osteological Collections of the Illinois State Museum; and checked by Dr. Bonnie Styles.


Modoc Rock Shelter, IL (11R5)-1987 Fauna dataset-East Pillar-1/4" screen (1987)
DATASET Mona Colburn. Bonnie Styles. Paula Thorson.

Faunal remains reported here were recovered by dry-screening through 1/4 inch mesh and from flotation (heavy fraction) using 1/16 inch mesh. Using the comparative faunal collection at the Illinois State Museum, Paula Thorson identified vertebrate remains from 1/4" screen and flotation and Dr. Bonnie Styles identified freshwater mussels from 1/4" screen only. Dr. Bonnie W. Styles directed the faunal analyses and verified faunal identifications.


Modoc Rock Shelter, IL (11R5)-1987 Fauna dataset-East Pillar-Flotation 1/16" mesh (1987)

More Data and More Computation but not Necessarily Less Theory: Assessing the Status and Near-Future Directions of Archaeology (2018)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Timothy A. Kohler.

Over the last decade many archaeologists (the author included) have increasingly employed computational approaches to make sense of the ever-larger amounts of relatively low-quality data available, to identify signals within the noise. Numerous applications of summed probability distributions of 14C dates and similarly sophisticated processing of tree-ring dates fall within this category, as do attempts to extract data related to specific research questions from the growing worldwide...
