Archaeobotanical Analysis (Other Keyword)
1-24 (24 Records)
Six bulk soil samples and one sample suitable for palynological analysis were submitted to the Fiske Center from a turn-of-the-century tenement boarding house yard in Manchester, New Hampshire. The six soil samples were submitted as pairs of samples taken from both 19th and 20th-century strata in order to examine change in landscape use over time. Macrobotanical analysis found high levels of weedy and ruderal plants in 19th-century context, as well as evidence of low-growing wild fruits such as...
Archaeological Data Recovery for the Dinosaur to Hunt 12kV/69kV Electric Line, Pinal County, Arizona (2008)
Results of data recovery investigations at four archaeological sites within the Dinosaur to Hunt (DIR-HUN) 12kV/69kV electric line corridor, east of Queen Creek, Arizona, are presented in this report. All four sites are located on Arizona State Trust Land, and all were found to meet eligibility criteria for inclusion in the Arizona and National Registers of Historic Places (Clark 2007). The archaeological work was conducted to mitigate adverse effects of construction of the Dinosaur to Hunt...
Archaeological Investigations at Blocks 139 and 159 in Barrio Libre, Tucson, Arizona (2003)
When the City of Tucson announced its plan to replace the aging Connie Chambers housing facility in Barrio Libre with new, affordable single family homes, a cultural resources assessment was conducted to determine if the project had the potential to disturb historically significant archaeological deposits. Archival records revealed that homes dating as early as the late nineteenth century once stood on three of the city blocks occupied by the housing project. Most of the homes were owned or...

An Examination of Botanical Materials from Mashantucket Pequot Site 72-58 (2007)
Seventy-nine flotation samples from an 18th century Mashantucket Pequot homestead in Connecticut were submitted to the Fiske Center for Archaeological Research for paleoethnobotanical analysis in order to examine both the maintenance of and changes in subsistence practices during the reservation period. Wood, nutshells and nutmeat, seeds, and other plant parts were among the thousands of botanical remains recovered. These plant remains came from a variety of ecozones, and may show evidence for...
The Grewe Archaeological Research Project, Volume 2: Material Culture, Part II: Stone, Shell, and Bone Artifacts and Biological Remains (2001)
This is the second in a series of three volumes documenting the results of the Grewe Archaeological Research Project (GARP). The Project was carried out by Northland Research, Inc. (Northland), under contract to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). Portions of three prehistoric sites were investigated on the project - Grewe, Horvath, and Casa Grande Ruins. Each of the sites represents a separate spatial and temporal component of the Grewe-Casa Grande settlement, one of the preeminent...

La Quemada-Malpaso Valley Archaeological Project (LQ-MVAP)
For over 15 years, Mexican and American archaeologists and students have dug ancient ruins, walked the high desert landscape, and worked in laboratories to understand the rise and fall of La Quemada, Zacatecas. We want to know why societies become complex, developing social hierarchies with specialized economic, political, and religious roles for their members. Why do civilizations expand? Northern Mexico's ancient past is an ideal context for studying these questions. During the period A.D....
A Macrobotanical Analysis of Site 11PK1771, a Late Woodlands site in Illinois (2009)
Forty-four flotation samples from a Late Woodlands site located in Pike County, Illinois were submitted to the Fiske Center for Archaeological Research for macrobotanical analysis. Charred wood, nutshells, and charred chenopodium (Goosefoot) seeds formed the majority of the botanical remains recovered. Bowes and Trigg note the excellent fuel woods recovered from the site, as well as the ubiquity and importance of walnuts, hickory nuts, and hazelnuts in Native diets. The large number of...
A Macrobotanical Analysis of Site 33PE807, an Early Archaic to Late Prehistoric Site in Ohio (2009)
Twenty-one flotation samples obtained from the Rockies East Pipeline archaeological project Site 33Pe807 were examined for botanical remains. Site 33Pe807 is located in Ohio and was occupied from the Early Archaic to the Late Prehistoric period. Bowes notes the predominance of hardwoods among the charred wood specimens recovered, as well as the presence of black walnut and hickory nuts. Many seeds and botanical remains were unidentifiable due to poor preservation.
A Macrobotanical Analysis of Site 33PE839, an Early and Middle Woodlands Period Lithics Workshop (2009)
Ten soil samples from an Early and Middle Woodlands period quarry-related lithics workshop in Ohio were submitted to the Fiske Center for Archaeological Research for macrobotanical analysis. This limited activity site was not expected to yield many botanical remains, although Bowes and Trigg did identify charred hickory (Carya), oak (Quercus), and elm (Ulmus) wood, as well as one hickory nutshell and one charred chickweed (Stellaria) seed among the remains submitted for analysis. Radiocarbon...

Parasitological and Macrobotanical Analyses of a Late-18th Century Privy, Portsmouth, New Hampshire (2011)
Five soil samples from a late eighteenth-century privy at the Wentworth site in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, were submitted to the Fiske Center for parasitological and macrobotanical analysis in order to illuminate the diet, health, and sanitation practices of the site's occupants. Over 2000 macrobotanical remains were recovered from these five samples, as well as 516 parasite ova which were interpreted as evidence of both roundworm (Ascaris sp.) and whipworm (Trichuris sp.) infestation....

Report on Archaeobiological Materials from the Kirk Street Agents’ House, Lowell National Historical Park, Lowell, Massachusetts (2002)
This report describes and interprets the faunal and botanical remains recovered during intensive archaeological testing at the Kirk Street Agents’ House in Lowell, Massachusetts. The faunal specimens represent the remnants of household trash discarded in the yard by residents. Cattle, pig, rat, chicken, turkey, fish and caprine (sheep/goat) bones were recovered from the deposits, as well as bivalve shells and human teeth. Eight hundred and seventy-four macrobotanical remains were also...
Report on Soil Samples from Saugus Ironworks, Saugus, Massachusetts (2005)
Six flotation samples and one palynological sample from prehistoric contexts at the Saugus Iron Works site in Massachusetts were submitted to the Fiske Center for macrobotanical and palynological assessment and analysis. The palynological sample's low pollen grain density and high proportion of Liguliforae pollen suggested that attempting an accurate vegetation reconstruction at this site through palynological analysis may be impossible due to weathering and preservation concerns. While...
Results of Data Recovery in North Freeway Tuscon, Pima County, Arizona: AZ AA:12:85 (ASM) and AZ AA:12:911 (ASM) (2007)
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) purchased property at North Freeway, Tucson, Arizona, to facilitate improvements along the Interstate 10 (I-10) corridor. Following completion of construction, ADOT proposed selling the property lying outside the I-10 right-of-way. EcoPlan Associates, environmental consultants to ADOT, requested a cultural resources assessment of the property prior to sale. Desert Archaeology, Inc., identified potentially significant surface remains and initiated a...
Sunset Crater Archaeology: The History of a Volcanic Landscape, Environmental Analyses (2007)
During the U.S. 89 project, 41 prehistoric sites located approximately 30 km (48 miles) north of Flagstaff, Arizona, were investigated.
