EXAMINATION OF PALEOFECES, FEATURE FILL, AND AGRICULTURAL FIELDS AT RAMADITAS and LLANOS DE COLOR, CHILE (2002)
Ramaditas (G6) is one of a series of six sites located in the Quebrada de Guatacondo in northern Chile. The site is situated along a caravan route between the coastal margins and the highlands. By 900 BC, small agro-pastoral groups were occupying the richer, fertile highlands. Trade increased with coastal groups to obtain marine products. Groups regularly moved between the highland salt puna, through the dry sierra, and on to the coastal oases. Archaeological evidence suggests that Ramaditas...
EXAMINATION OF SEDIMENTS FROM B. F. SISK DAM, CENTRAL CALIFORNIA FOR POLLEN, PHYTOLITHS, AND DIATOMS TO IDENTIFY PROBABLE AGE OF THE DEPOSITS (2009)
Five sediment samples collected from B.F. Sisk Dam in central California, approximately 12 km west of Los Banos, were examined to recover pollen, phytoliths, and diatoms. These sediments were recovered from the downstream toe of the dam near the former junction of San Luis and Cottonwood Creeks. These samples are believed to represent the Plio-Pleistocene Tulare Formation and possibly the Corcoran Clay, one of the uppermost units within the Tulare. Analysis was conducted in an effort to verify...
