Rock Shelter (Other Keyword)
1-10 (10 Records)
CA-SBR-14 is a rock shelter site located in the South Range of Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS), China Lake in the west central Mojave Desert. Subsurface investigation of the site has provided important contextual data that challenges previous interpretations of prehistoric use of the area. Artifacts collected include milling slabs on the surface of the site, fire-affected fragments that were recovered from subsurface test units, and three handstones that appear to have been deliberately placed...
Archaeological Investigations at the Stō:ló spiritual site Uwqw’iles - the Restmore Caves site (DiRj-34) (2017)
In 2014 Amec Foster Wheeler, in partnership with the Stō:ló Resource and Research Management Centre, conducted an archaeological investigation of rock shelter site DiRj-34 in response to a proposed development. The site was documented ethnographically by Wilson Duff in 1949 as the Restmore Caves and recorded as spiritual site Uwqw’iles by the Stō:ló Nation. The rock shelter is comprised of large boulders at the toe of the Canadian Cascade Range, adjacent to Hunter Creek on the south side of the...

Differentiating Human and Non-Human Impacts on Leporid Remains: A Comparison of Rabbit Bone Cave (48PA202) and Wolf Den Cave (48BH1796) Faunal Assemblages (2004)
The goal of this paper is to add to the shallow base of data on taphonomic processes affecting small mammal remains in archaeological contexts. To that end, faunal assemblages from two sites, the Rabbit Bone Cave, and the Wolf Den Cave will be compared. For the purpose of this project, only leporid remains will be compared. Both Lepus sp. and Sylvilagus sp. remains will be analyzed in this project. The comparisons made in this paper represent an attempt to differentiate between assemblages of...
The Fremont and Plant Resouces Along the Colorado-Wyoming Border (2002)
Recent work in Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado is demonstrating the extent of maize agricultural may be extended into the canyons of the Green River. This paper will look at how the Fremont utilized plant resources along their northern frontier to extend their occupation northward. We will synthesize the results of recent excavations and surveys to explain the nature ofFremont agriculture north of the Gates of Ladore on the Green River.
Migration Terminus? Late Pleistocene/and Early Holocene Archaeology at Rock Creek Mortar Shelter, Upper Cumberland Plateau, Tennessee (2015)
Rock Creek Mortar Shelter (40Pt209), in Pickett State Forest on the Upper Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee, possesses a more or less continuous 11,600 year occupation history. This history may be consistent with previous ideas of first colonization of upland rock shelter zones at the end of the Younger Dryas with significant climatic amelioration. However, we have not yet encountered culturally sterile deposits and believe the site may be older still. We focus here on the late Pleistocene and...

Site 48JO303 (2004)
The 48JO303 site is located in the southern Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming. This was the first occurrence of the Pryor stemmed projectile point in an acceptable stratified sequence. A carbon date of 5850 +/- 110 B.C. was obtained for the Pryor stemmed level.
The Sky is Falling: Site formation processes at Woodpecker Cave, Johnson County, Iowa (2017)
Woodpecker Cave is a small, limestone rock shelter occurring on a drainage of the Coralville Reservoir in Johnson Country, Iowa. The site was originally excavated in 1956 by Warren Caldwell and has been the home of the University of Iowa archaeological field school from 2012 to 2016. The University of Iowa excavations identified Late and Terminal Woodland materials with a high concentration of roofspall contributing to the archaeological deposits. When combined with recent terrestrial LIDAR...
The tale of a Rock: Backdirt, Backfill and Intrusive Historic Occupations of Woodpecker Cave (2017)
Prehistoric occupations in rock shelter deposits are frequently of interest to archaeologists because of potentially good preservation of material culture and the possibility of multiple occupations in stratigraphic succession. Those sought-after phenomena are frequently occluded by subsequent accretional or intrusive historic occupations. This is particularly complicating when modern investigations are carried out in the context of poorly documented earlier archaeological excavations....
