Earth Mounds 33 and 34 are located in the Wathayn locality on the Weipa Peninsula of northern Cape York in Queensland, Australia. Evidence suggests that occupation of the earth mounds at Wathayn began after 2000 BP, with the height of occupation occurring between 500 and 100 BP. Use of the earth mounds on the Weipa Peninsula continued well after European settlement, with evidence for Aboriginal adoption of new technologies suggestive of occupation into the modern era (Stevenson et al. 2015:28)....
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF CERAMIC RESIDUE ON ONEOTA AND MISSISSIPPIAN SHERDS FROM THE NORRIS FARMS 36 CEMETERY, ILLINOIS (2015)
Studies of foodways for both the Oneota and Mississippian people include description of ceramic vessels. Warfare/violence has been documented at the Norris Farms 36 cemetery. The adjacent Morton Village contains unquestionable evidence of in-migration of Oneota people, creating a record of co-habitation. Investigation of interactions between these people currently includes examining a sub-set of the ceramic assemblage that is linked to the alteration of Oneota foodways. Four vessels were...

POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF ORGANIC RESIDUE FROM A SHERD AT THE CACHE SITE, 24HL49, MONTANA (2012)
The Cache site (24HL49) is a pottery cache located on the south side of the Milk River in the vicinity of the Fresno Dam, Fresno, Montana. Two vessels that date to the Late Prehistoric Period were recovered from the site, one nested inside the other. Vessel 1 is a nearly complete vessel, which is represented by 37 sherds and appears to have been crushed by the weight of the settling cap-rock. Black, carbonized organic matter was noted on the interior of the vessel. Vessel 2 is an incomplete,...
