The River Farm site (18AN881) exhibits Early Archaic through Late Woodland components, as well as historic use. It is situated on the eastern bank of the Patuxent River in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Several features were observed, two of which were sampled for analysis. Two ceramic sherds exhibiting charred food crust and two closely associated charred botanic fragments were submitted for AMS radiocarbon analysis. Microscopic analysis of the contents of the charred food crust from both...

In this article, chipped stone raw materials from the Garrett Allen site are discussed, with emphasis on the stone tools. As indicated by Eckles (2103), who discussed the history of investigations and chronology, this is one of several articles to be presented on various aspects of the site’s artifacts. One of the remarkable aspects of the site is the variety of chipped stone raw materials. There are varieties of flint, chert, agate, jasper, chalcedony, petrified wood, orthoquartzite,...

The U. S. Air Force (USAF) proposes to develop and use 30 new electronic system pads on the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), Nye County, Nevada (Figures 1 and 2, also see project maps in Appendix A and project overview photographs in Appendix B). These pads, which average about 1.5 ha (3.7 acres) in size, wIII be used to temporarily park mobile electronic systems during test and training missions and these systems wIII be moved on and off the pads between missions. No additional utilities...

This article summarizes excavation results at the Crooks Gap Housepit site (Site 48FR6260) completed by Cardno ENTRIX in 2010 and then compares those results with 20 other excavated housepits at eight sites located within 20 km of the site (Figure 1). The results are provided in more detail in Peterson and Smith (2012). The Crooks Gap Housepit site is a multicomponent site situated in aeolian deposits near Crooks Creek in southeastern Fremont County, Wyoming. One of the components contains the...

During the fall of 1987, an archaeological crew from the University of Wyoming and Wyoming State Archaeologist’s Office conducted salvage recovery at a vandalized bonebed locality near the original Finley (48SW5) Paleoindian site in Sweetwater County. Efforts focused (1) on obtaining a bison skeletal sample disturbed earlier, (2) on documenting the site area for the Wyoming SHPO Cultural Records, and (3) on a small testing program to investigate whether intact Cody age archaeological deposits...

The prehistoric component of the Boyd Cow Camp Archaeological Site (48SH1740) was first identified during an archaeological survey conducted by ACR Consultants, Inc., as part of a forest-wide Grazing and Vegetation Management Analysis. The site was later revisited by Terra Alta Archaeology. The prehistoric component is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion D while the historic component was found not eligible with SHPO concurrence. Both contractors and...

Test Unit B1 (1x1 m), excavated in 1994 by arbitrary 10 cm levels, except Level 1 (0-30 cm), which is the plowzone. Total depth 220 cm below surface datum. All matrix waterscreened through 1/4" (6.4 mm) mesh and 40% sample of each level screened through 1/16" (1.6 mm) mesh. Flotation column measuring 25 x 25 cm taken from the southwest corner of each level (except plowzone). Identifications in this dataset are only remains from 1/4" mesh of both the general waterscreen matrix and flotation...

Faunal data from Dust Cave Alabama, Renee B. Walker dissertation (University of Tennessee, 1998). Archaic deposits from Dust Cave date between and 5,200 years ago with four distinct Archaic occupations. These include the Early Side-Notched and Kirk Stemmed components (Early Archaic), and the Eva/Morrow Mountain component and Seven Mile Island phase (Middle Archaic). The preservation, and subsequent recovery, of faunal material at the site is exceptional, with an abundance of small fish and...

This study uses faunal remains from Horizons 11-8A of the Koster Site, Greene County, Illinois, as the basis for examining subsistence change during the Early-Middle Archaic transition in the Midwest. Two related issues are considered. First, did significant changes in subsistence strategies occur? Second, what were the probable causes of subsistence change? Current evidence from the lower Illinois River Valley suggests that subsistence change is closely related to changes in settlement or...

Archaeologists from SWCA, Inc., Environmental Consultants, conducted test excavations at site AZ AA:12:130 (ASM) on November 21 and 22, 1996. These excavations consisted of five backhoe trenches long the centerline of a planned effluent pipe outfall realignment for Pima County Waste Water Management. This document summarizes the results of archaeological testing on the segment of the pipeline that crosses the plotted location of a known Middle Archaic site. Four features were identified during...

The results of this survey is the first attempt to create such a model which attempts to empirically identify, measure, analyze, and then interpret the cultural resources discovered within a portion of the south-central Great Basin region. This survey will be undertaken within an ethnoarchaeological approach.

Data recovery excavations were conducted at 48CR103 in southern Carbon County, Wyoming. A single component was identified consisting of at least three features. Soil profiles from these excavations indicated a deflated dunal setting which experienced a high degree of erosion from extensive livestock grazing and extended drought conditions. While no radiometric datable material was recovered, lithic tools suggest a Middle to Late Plains Archaic Period of occupation. Artifacts and features show...
