A pedestrian reconnaissance survey led by William Wepler and Donald Cochran was conducted at the Huntington Reservoir between the fall of 1982 and winter of 1983. This survey took place along the Upper Wabash drainage in Huntington and Well counties. The survey was performed in two parts; first as an in-field survey above the level of the summer pool, which was oriented toward the cultivated areas, and second as a shoreline survey oriented towards the eroded areas. The investigation was...

This collection is referred to as, "White Springs Site (22IT537) 1979-1986.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is five (5) linear inches. The White Springs Site (22IT537) 1979-1986 archival collection was contained within acid-free boxes and in acid-free folders within the larger Shell Bluff collection. These collections are permanently housed at the Cobb Institute of Archaeology, University of Mississippi....

A total of 12 samples from sites 48BH3457 (Alm Shelter), 48BH719, 48WA1938 (Solstice Shelter), 48WA1939 (6 Amigos Shelter), and the Fertig Shelter were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. A total of 11 dates were obtained from charcoal. A date also was obtained from uncharred grass matting, originally submitted as a bark sample.

Six charcoal and botanic samples were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. These sample were recovered from features in the Tranquil Rockshelter (site 41BS1513) in Brewster County, Texas. Samples were recovered from the fill of three pits, a feature remnant, and a lenticular deposit of ash that might represent a structural floor deposit.

Five botanic samples were submitted for identification from Cave #5 at the Paisley 5 Mile Ridge Caves site (35LK3400) in southern Oregon. Four of the samples appear to represent vegetal matter that has been twisted, while the fifth sample represents a seed removed from a coprolite found in Late Pleistocene age deposits. The Paisley Caves appear to have been used most often as cache locations which were infrequently occupied for short periods of time. Lithic artifacts in the cave suggest that use...

Analysis at sites 5RB3290 and 5RB3180 involved identification of several botanical remains from Fremont masonry storage cists in Southwest Rangely Field, Colorado. These remains were recovered in packrat den and midden debris. Identification of these remains will provide information to be included in the site forms and report.

Five botanic samples and a macrofloral sample were examined from the Ewing Site (Y7), which is part of a triangular space (the “hinterlands”) within the Yellow Jacket district of southwestern Colorado. Many of the sites in the Yellow Jacket locality were occupied during the Pueblo II (AD 1050-1150) and Pueblo III (AD 1150-1300) periods; however, the Ewing site is believed to predate the main occupation of the area and reflect occupation during the early Pueblo II or Basketmaker III periods....

Sediment samples from Swordfish Cave (CA-SBA-503) on Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, were floated to recover macrofloral remains. Two botanic samples also were sent for identification. This site represents a cave in a small sandstone outcrop with rock art panels both inside and outside the cave. A swordfish painted in black on top of a red oval is noted to be typical of Chumash illustrations. Radiocarbon dates suggest that this cave experienced several use episodes, including Early Period...

Samples from an Upper Republican house (House 4) at Site 25FT22 in southwest Nebraska were examined for charred macrofloral remains. This site contained Upper Republican habitation features and midden deposits. Macrofloral analysis is used to provide information concerning plant resources available to and utilized by the occupants of the house. This information will help contribute to the understanding of the Upper Republican lifeways in the Medicine Creek valley.

The Veterans Curation Program utilizes the standard archival practice of unique naming of collections. The purpose of this practice is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as "Omussee Creek Park (1HE4) 1977.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is two-tenths (0.2) of a linear inch. On the exterior of the...

Fill from two thermal features at sites SRI-3 and SRI-6 near Willits, California was submitted for organic residue analysis. Samples were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). FTIR analysis provides information concerning the compounds that were extracted from the fill samples. Information concerning foods that might have been processed in association with thermal features at these sites is derived from matches with our reference library of raw and...

Sediment samples recovered from a wall profile in Room 2 of Black Dog Cave (Feature 13, Locus 4) at the Black Dog Mesa Archaeological Complex (26CK5686/BLM 53-7216) in southeast Nevada were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. Pollen analysis also was conducted on adobe from the bottom of a slab-lined storage pit in the room. Botanic remains from several units within the cave were submitted for identification. Black Dog Cave consists of an extensive cavern containing features and...

One botanic sample and four sediment samples from site 23CK302 were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. A single botanic sample from 23LE174 also was submitted for dating. Although the original intent was to recover microscopic charcoal from all four sediment samples, visual examination of the screened portion of two of the samples revealed the presence of small pieces of coal. Coal cannot be removed from the microscopic charcoal fraction and would have caused the determination of the...
