Two Bison antiquus bones, one small (female) and one large (male) metacarpal, from Deer Harbor, Orcas Island, Washington were submitted for radiocarbon dating. Both of these bones were permineralized and did not retain sufficient collagen for recovery and AMS radiocarbon dating. Therefore, a calf skull fragment (OP2B) recovered from a peat deposit at Ayer Pond was submitted (Table 1).

Six bone fragments and/or bone cores were submitted to PaleoResearch Institute for AMS radiocarbon dating.

In 2008, the U.S. Army Garrison Fort Wainwright (USAG FWA) and U.S. Army Garrison Fort Richardson (USAG FRA) initiated several projects that triggered archaeological and cultural resource analyses and surveys of proposed project areas. This report details each undertaking for which archaeological fieldwork was completed at Fort Wainwright and Fort Richardson. One range project conducted at the Donnelly Training Area (DTA; within the boundaries of former Fort Greely) is reported in this report.

The 243-mile preferred alignment of the proposed Mead to Phoenix ±500kV direct current transmission system was surveyed for archaeological resources by the Museum of Northern Arizona in the spring of 1984. Fifty-eight archaeological sites were identified on the alignment, plus 10 historic routes in areas crossed by the alignment. Seventeen of the sites are historic, dating from the 1860s to World War II. Forty-one prehistoric sites range in age from the late Archaic through the Ceramic period to...

During 1994 and 1995 Cultural Resource Analysts, Inc. undertook an archeological overview and assessment of the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial in Spencer County, Indiana. This resulting study was designed to provide a regional context and summary description of all known cultural resources within the Memorial. The overview and assessment included a review of past archeological research on Memorial lands and a comprehensive search for pertinent documentary records. The results of this research...

Sediment samples, collected from stratigraphic columns from three sites (23Ck57, 23Ck302, and 23Le174), were examined for pollen and phytoliths to provide information concerning the paleoenvironment along the Avenue of the Saints corridor in northeastern Missouri. The time periods represented by these stratigraphic samples include the Late Pleistocene at the base of 23Ck57, the Middle Holocene (6300-5500 BP) at 23Le174, and approximately 3510-2550 BP at 23Ck302. The samples 23Ck57 and 23Le174...

This report includes a reanalysis of key central interior Alaska archaeological sites and analysis of data from recently discovered sites that were used to define the cultural chronology of the central interior Alaska. Diagnostic material cultural elements, with the exception of those for the Euroamerican tradition, were identified and illustrated within this report. Additionally, six cultural traditions and complexes were documented: 1) Chindadn complex (greater than 11,000- c. 10,600 B. P.)....

An introduction to the multidisciplinary field of hominin paleoecology for advanced undergraduate students and beginning graduate students, Early Hominin Paleoecology offers an up-to-date review of the relevant literature, exploring new research and synthesizing old and new ideas. Recent advances in the field and the laboratory are not only improving our understanding of human evolution but are also transforming it. Given the increasing specialization of the individual fields of study in...

The first human arrivals in the Great Basin encountered a landscape that for a time supported numerous lakes, marshes, rivers, and streams within the internally draining basins of the Great Basin. The current investigation is an effort to determine whether the terminal Pleistocene/early Holocene remnants of Mud, Gold Flat, and Kawich lakes on the Nevada Test and Training Range supported Paleo archaic activity. This study combines Dickerson's 2006 geomorphology findings with archaeological...

A total of seven bulk samples of organic material from black mat deposits in the Upper Las Vegas Wash, Nevada, were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. The black mat deposits are associated with late Pleistocene paleo-spring sediments. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A single charcoal sample also was submitted for identification.

Five sediment samples collected from B.F. Sisk Dam in central California, approximately 12 km west of Los Banos, were examined to recover pollen, phytoliths, and diatoms. These sediments were recovered from the downstream toe of the dam near the former junction of San Luis and Cottonwood Creeks. These samples are believed to represent the Plio-Pleistocene Tulare Formation and possibly the Corcoran Clay, one of the uppermost units within the Tulare. Analysis was conducted in an effort to verify...

In earlier issues of Progress the gains in knowledge of the village dwellers of the Missouri River have been discussed and described. For this report attention will be directed to the earlier, technologically less sophisticated, hunter and gatherers who inhabited the Plains from about 2,000-7,000 years ago. This document contains a brief overview of those who inhabited the Plains and calls for a full investigation of the mountain refuge hypothesis.

During the period 10 to 13 September 1980, the writer was afforded the opportunity of a brief reconnaissance of portions of the Ozark River Hays in Shannon County, Missouri. Physiographic features, often in association with archeological sites, were pointed out and discussed by personnel of the Midwest Archeological Center, National Park Service, and the Southeast Missouri Field Station, Southwest Missouri State University, at the Akers Ferry, Pulltite, Round Spring, Alley Spring, Owls Bend,...

Symbolism, including language, is widely viewed as an essential element of modern human behavior. Documenting the evolutionary origins of such behavior, however, has proven difficult. Ochre pigments (iron oxides) form a major part of the evidence used to interpret when humans began communicating through symbols. Excavations at Olorgesailie, Kenya; Karonga, Malawi; and Twin Rivers, Zambia have yielded ochre artifacts that may indicate very early occurrences of symbolism. Yet mineral pigments may...
