Late Archaic (Temporal Keyword)

PROJECT Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

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...

Archaeological data show acts which may at first appear to involve merely the acquisition of food are, indeed, interwoven with spiritual beliefs and emotions. Bison kill sites have been investigated to gain information regarding hunting strategies and food appropriation. However, some of the sites have yielded additional information taking us beyond the procurement of food, widening our view to include religion, rituals and ceremonialism. The Cooper site (Bement 1999) offers early evidence of...

Archaeological site testing was conducted on five sites on the Poinsett Electronic Comba Range (PECR) at Shaw Air Force Base, Sumter County, South Carolina. The sites investigated were 38SU140, 38SU148, 38SU188, 38SU195 and 38SU209. Sites 38Ul48, 38SU188 and 38SUl95 all refl ected late 1911 to early 20111 century occupations associated with rural agrirulture. All of these sites had received impacts to their integrity from logging, farming and the demolition of structures following the federal...

In A.D. 79, early one afternoon in August, a volcano to the north of the Roman city of Pompeii began an eruption that continued through the night. When the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius was finished, more than 20,000 people had been killed, and entire cities were lost (Time-Life Books 1992:10). Although this tragedy cost the lives of many people, through the archaeological record we can recover valuable information about the civilization and appreciate how these people lived. In this essay, I am...

The purpose of the site visit was to assess the presence and nature of archaeological sites near springs in the new addition to the Natural Area. This was not a systematic survey hut a quick check of the area surrounding three springs; Coal Mine Spring, George Wise Spring, and Matachin Spring. We spent over an hour at each spring. This initial site visit was useful for understanding the potential for buried cultural remains, geomorphological/erosion Issues, and other factors that may affect the...

The goal of the survey was determine if the proposed RV sites would adversely affect the cultural resources present or have the potential to affect any previously unknown cultural resources. After looking over the information from previous archaeological surveys (Madsen and Bayman 1989, Whalen 1971) it was determined that the proposed RV sites lie within a large lithic artifact scatter w/ roasting pits, identified as Late Archaic first by Whalen in 1971, and again by Madsen and Bayman (1989)...

A finely made bifacial skinning knife was left on a small natural pointed hill apparently as a non-utilitarian offering placed on a high promontory, a common prehistoric practice across much of western North America. Age is unknown, but the tool is believed to date from the Late Prehistoric Period or terminal Archaic, or about A.D. 200-1200.

An examination of corner-notched arrow points in Wyoming is presented. Emphasis will be on points commonly included in the Rose Spring/ Rosegate series with an analysis of other cornernotch arrow points which are probably not part of the Rose Spring/Rosegate series. Data were gathered from both excavated and dated components as well as from surface recorded sites in Wyoming. These data were searched in the Wyoming SHPO Cultural Records Office databases from the early 1970s through 2014 (the 2014...

In August 1995, Statistical Research, Inc., performed data recovery on an area approximately 3,200 m2 at AZ AA: 12:503 (ASM), a Late Archaic period site in the northern Tucson Basin. The site is located on a parcel of land owned by Waste Management of Southern Arizona, and the project was undertaken in response to the plans of Waste Management to construct a new southern Arizona headquarters. Three of the four stratigraphic units defined at the site yielded cultural features. One hundred...

The Weber I site is a stratified Archaic period site located on the Cass River where it flows through the outskirts of Frankenmuth, Michigan in the Saginaw Valley region. The lower strata (Occupation Zone II) is the only sealed cultural occupation dated to the Middle Archaic period in the Upper Great Lakes in which organic remains are preserved. Seven features, lithic artifacts, and both faunal and floral materials indicate a late summer through fall season of multiple occupations. A total of...

The White Bend site (11HA938) is located along the east bank of the West Fork of the LaMoine River valley bottomland near the confluence of an intermittent stream in eastern Hancock County in west-central Illinois. The Illinois State Archaeological Survey of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (formerly the Illinois Transportation Archaeological Research Program) conducted Phase III excavations at the site in in 2006 and 2007 and recovered faunal materials from Archaic occupations...
