Three hand millingstones from CA-Pla-163 in the Squaw Valley, California, were submitted for pollen, phytolith, protein residue, and x-ray mineral defraction analysis. All three pieces exhibited red staining. One of the millingstones was associated with a subsurface rock hearth or oven feature. Radiocarbon ages of 430 ± 40 BP (calibrated to AD 1420 to 1510 or AD 1600 to 1620) and 840 ± 40 BP (calibrated to AD 1040 to 1260) were returned for charcoal in close proximity to this millingstone....

There is no report or documentation associated with this investigation. The VCP could not determine why the investigation was initiated, who the investigating organization was, who supervised the fieldwork, and when the fieldwork was conducted. It is possible that this unprovenienced material consists of several small investigations that have since lost their identifying project information. The digital materials in this collection were processed by the Veterans Curation Program (VCP), and...

PROJECT Julia King.

The Posey Site (18CH281) is located near Mattawoman Creek in Charles County, Maryland, aboard what is now the Naval Surface Warfare Center–Indian Head Division. The site was initially identified in 1963 by Navy chemist Calvert Posey, in an area that had been damaged by an earlier explosion at Indian Head’s Biazzi Nitration Plant, where nitroglycerin was manufactured. In 1985, the site was tested by William Barse as part of a much larger archaeological survey of the Indian Head facility. The site...
