Jennie Deo Shaw 2010 - RESULTS OF CHARCOAL ANALYSIS CONDUCTED FOR THE KURIL ISLAND BIOCOMPLEXITY PROJECT (2010)
This unpublished report documents an archaeological charcoal species identification analysis of samples from a series of sites in the remote Kuril Islands. The study was commissioned to estimate the proportion of driftwood to local wood fuel used in prehistoric fires and to estimate the potential impact of old wood on radiocarbon dates calculated from Kuril archaeological charcoal.
KBP Archaeological and Geological Profile Correlations (2010)
Tephra and radiocarbon date correlations between geologic sections and archaeological profiles from all 3 years of fieldwork in the Kuril Islands during the KBP.
KBP Site Locations (2009)
A table with site names and latitude and longitude of the archaeological sites found in the Kuril Islands during the 2006-2008 fieldwork.
KBP-Pottery: Descriptive Measurements (2014)
Descriptive data collected from 1115 archaeological pottery fragments from the Kuril Islands, collected as part of the Kuril Biocomplexity Project under Ben Fitzhugh, direction. The pottery analysis was conducted by Erik Gjesfjeld and this table of data comes from an appendix in his Ph.D. dissertation thesis titled: "Of Pots and People: Investigating Hunter-Gatherer Pottery Production and Social Networks in the Kuril Islands" filed in partial fulfillment of the PhD degree at the University of...
Kuril Biocomplexity Project Archive (NSF 0508109)
A broadly interdisciplinary, international team investigated the complex web of cultural, ecological, geological, and climate systems in the Kuril Islands. The Kurils provide uniquely laboratory-like conditions for this study, permitting examination of past changes in local climates and ecosystems along an island chain. The islands are situated along a latitudinal gradient extending from temperate Hokkaido Island (north of Japan) to subarctic Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia. Evidence of human...
