Lithic Analysis from Two Prehistoric Sites (48NA312 AND 48NA2516) Near Martin's Cove, Natrona County, Wyoming (2006)
Extensive lithic collections have been made from the surface of two archaeological sites (48NA312 and 48NA2516) near Martin’s Cove, Natrona County, Wyoming. Contrary to the original archaeological assessment of the two sites (Griffiths and Talbot 1996), these two sites now appear to contain significant archaeological data concerning the prehistory of the central Wyoming area (NRHP Criterion D). Additional archaeological evaluation of the sites has become necessary to properly evaluate these two...

Phase II testing at the site in 1996 and more extensive excavations in 1997 by the Illinois State Museum (under the direction of Dr. Steven Ahler), under contract with the United States Army Corps of...
The Llano Crossing Site (41MS78), A Deeply Stratified Prehistoric Site in the Llano River Terraces, Mason County, Texas (2021)
On behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation, SWCA Environmental Consultants conducted data recovery investigations of the Llano Crossing site (41MS78) as part of the Ranch-to-Market Road 1871 bridge replacement project (project) (CSJ: 1753-01-017) in Mason County, Texas. Conducted from February 6 to March 21, 2019, the field investigations revealed a deeply stratified multicomponent prehistoric site that includes sparse but isolable occupations of multiple intervals from Paleoindian...
A Mallory Site (48AB396) in the Snowy Range Mountains of Southeastern Wyoming (2011)
Site 48AB396 was located in 1982 during a class III cultural resource survey of the Rob Roy Reservoir project in Albany County, Wyoming (Eckles and Scott 1983). The site is located on the eastern side of Douglas Creek at 9240 ft in the Snowy Range Mountains of southeastern Wyoming. Archaeological excavations (Figure 1) were conducted at the site in 1983 by the Office of the Wyoming State Archaeologist (Reiss 1985). Seventy one meter square units were excavated with three sediment horizons being...

Air Force, Shaw Air Force Base at the Poinsett Electronic...
Manasota Key Offshore: A Prehistoric Cemetery in the Gulf of Mexico (2018)
The likelihood for the existence of prehistoric sites on drowned landscapes of the continental shelf has been discussed for decades. However, the potentially devastating effects of marine transgression have sparked a debate about the types and characteristics of prehistoric sites that archaeologists expect to find offshore. The Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research recently identified a prehistoric cemetery located in the coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Investigations at the Manasota...

Middle & Late Archaic Faunal & Floral Exploitation at the Weber I Site (20SA581), MI (1990)
The paper summarizes the faunal and floral remains for the Middle and Late Archaic Zones at the Weber I site as these occupations inform subsistence, seasonality, and palaeoecological reconstruction. Figures illustrate maps of spatial distribution of remains. Paper includes description of geographic setting, site description, recovery strategy, and analytic methodology.
A Middle Range Research Project in Fire Pit Technology (1997)
During recent excavations at the Maneater Cave site (Zeimens and Baars 1996) a number of slab-lined pit features were encountered (Figure 1). All appear to have been used as fire hearths. Three of these yielded corrected radiocarbon dates of BC 4080 (Beta 84881), BC 4340 (Beta 86401), and BC 4320 (Beta 85550). Located adjacent to some of the slab-lined features were shallow basin-shaped depressions. The hardened floor and blackened zone on the inside surface of these depressions indicate that...
Modoc Rock Shelter Site, IL (11R5) 1953 Excavation Project
The 1953 excavation at Modoc Rock Shelter (11R5) was directed by Howard D. Winters and sponsored by the University of Chicago and the Illinois State Museum. Winters excavated two areas. An L-shaped area in the central portion of the Main Shelter area - was excavated in arbitrary 6-inch levels down to bedrock at a depth of about 19 feet below the post-road fill removal ground surface, or circa 118.72 m AMSL). The other area, which was located at the edge of the West Pillar, was excavated from...
Modoc Rock Shelter Site, IL (11R5) 1956 Excavation Project
The 1956 field season placed a deep excavation in the West Shelter area, and provided material from zones deeper than in previous years. An area approximately 20 x 30 feet was excavated in a contiguous block to circa 16 feet below the existing ground surface (the area had been subjected to removal of road fill). 117 5 x 5 foot units were excavated in 1-foot increments (levels). Dr. Melvin L. Fowler (Illinois State Museum) directed the excavations. The work was sponsored by the Illinois State...
Modoc Rock Shelter Site, IL (11R5) 1980 Excavation Project
This project includes data from the 1980 excavation season at Modoc Rock Shelter (11R5). The 1980 archaeological excavation was conducted by Drs. Bonnie Styles and Melvin Fowler under the auspices of the Illinois State Museum and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Funding was provided by a grant from the Department of Interior (Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service) to the Illinois State Museum Society. Initial excavations at Modoc were conducted in 1952, 1953, 1955, and 1956 by Dr....
Modoc Rock Shelter Site, IL (11R5) 1984 Excavation Project

Bonnie Styles (Illinois State Museum) and Melvin Fowler (University of Wisconsin Milwaukee). Steven Ahler of the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee served as the field director. Funding was provided by National Science Foundation collaborative grants to the Illinois State Museum Society and the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee with...
Modoc Rock Shelter, IL (11R5)-1953 Fauna dataset Central Pit 1/4" Screen (1953)
The 1953 faunal remains from the Central Pit at Modoc Rock Shelter (11R5) were initially identified by Paul W. Parmalee of the Illinois State Museum. In 1980, Karli White and Bonnie Styles (Illinois State Museum) re-examined the 1953 identifications, augmented the identifications, and entered them into a database.
Modoc Rock Shelter, IL (11R5)-1956 West Shelter Gastropod dataset (1956)
Gastropod remains from the 1956 field season deep excavation in the West Shelter area. Gastropods were recovered via either hand picking or screening through 1/4" (6.4mm) mesh. In 1991, a sample of 1956 strata was chosen by Steven R. Ahler to represent a contiguous cross-section of the 1956 excavations. The gastropod samples from the 1956 excavation were identified and analyzed by James L. Theler (University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse). In 2015, Mona Colburn (Illinois State Museum) entered data...
