Several groundstone artifacts and one charcoal sample were sent for analysis and identification. The samples were recovered from a slab-lined fire pit during investigations at site 48SU1753 in southwest Wyoming. The radiocarbon dates for the site range from 4280 ± 70 BP to 1500 ± 60 BP, placing the earlier components of the site in of the Pine Springs Phase of the Late Archaic and the later components in the Uinta Phase of the Late Prehistoric. The groundstone artifacts were sent to the lab...

Site CA-SDI-1313/14791 encompasses an area measuring approximately 60 m (east/west) by 230 m (north/south) and consists of a moderately dense to dense deposit of artifacts including debitage, and flaked and groundstone tools. It is situated on a stream terrace at the confluence of San Mateo and Cristianitos Creeks in the northern portion of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, San Diego County, California. Groundstone tools recovered from the site were washed to recover pollen derived from...

Four sites representing a temporary camp of unknown prehistoric affiliation (42Ka2042), an Archaic and Virgin Anasazi temporary camp (42Ka2044), a Late Prehistoric lithic scatter and Historic habitation site (42Ka2068), and an Archaic lithic scatter (42Ka6104) were sampled for pollen to identify local past vegetation, as well as subsistence practices. Fourteen sediment samples, including four control samples, were submitted from these four sites in Kane County, Utah for pollen analysis.

Samples from a possible hearth remnant at 5GA1219 and from a rock-filled basin hearth at 5GA2524 were analyzed for pollen and macrofloral remains. These sites are located in Grand County in western Colorado. Site 5GA2524 appears to represent a late fall or early winter hunting camp, and a conventional radiocarbon date of 1640 ± 80 BP (Beta-147164) indicates occupation during the Late Prehistoric period. Pollen and macrofloral analyses, including identification of charcoal, will provide...

Samples from the Hot Spring Lake site, 42DV2, were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. Individual charcoal samples were identified prior to submission for radiocarbon analysis. Site 42DV2 is a large, open, multicomponent site located near the southeast edge of the Great Salt Lake in northern Utah. This site exhibits extensive Archaic and Late Prehistoric and some Formative/Fremont deposits. Pollen and macrofloral analyses were undertaken specifically to provide information...

Site 48SW1090 (Raptor Site) represents a Late Prehistoric, Uinta camp located on the eastern margin of the Leucite Hills. Pollen and macrofloral analyses concentrated on examination of feature fill from a deflated house structure and several hearths. The probable house structure exhibited two distinct occupational surfaces and three interior features associated with the lower occupation. In addition, three isolated features were noted to the northwest of the possible housepit that appear...

Site 48CR332, a multicomponent site, is located along the southeastern margin of the Ferris Mountains in central Wyoming. It is situated at an elevation of 6250 feet above sea level at the mouth of Sand Creek Canyon. The canyon is formed by the Ferris Mountains to the west-southwest and Bear Mountain to the south- southeast. A small intermountain basin opens to the north-northeast of the site. Nine stratigraphic pollen samples represent all five components noted at the site, which range from...

Site 48CA959, located in the Porcupine watershed, yielded several Late Prehistoric, small diameter, cylindrical pit/oven features. Calibrated radiocarbon ages reported for these features range from AD 390 to AD 1000. Five of the features were selected for pollen analysis in an effort to assist in identifying plants that might have been processed. In addition, four pollen and phytolith samples were examined from a stratigraphic column to obtain a record of local vegetation from slightly...

The Eagle Tree site (48CO2920) is a prehistoric campsite situated on a partial bench and terrace above an ephemeral drainage near Antelope Creek. Excavations exposed multiple thermal features from the Thunder Basin Phase. Feature BF-F1, a hearth or oven, dated to the Late Prehistoric period and yielded a groundstone metate that was submitted for pollen, phytolith, starch, and protein residue analyses. Analyses were conducted to contribute information about the function of the artifact and food...

Soil samples from two bell-shaped cache pits at the Hagan Village site, 24DW2, in east-central Montana were examined for pollen, phytoliths, and macrofloral remains. Charcoal and wood from the larger pit also were submitted for identification. This site is a Late Prehistoric habitation site that has been subject to extensive disturbance from pothunting, cultivation, and grazing. Pollen and macrofloral analyses will be used to provide information concerning plant resources that might have been...

Stone artifacts that include projectile points, metates, and a mano were submitted for pollen, protein residue, and organic residue (FTIR) analysis. These tools were recovered from the CA-SDI-5190 site complex at the Hidden Meadows community of northern San Diego County, California. The site is in an area of granitic bedrock, with drainages nearby. Native vegetation was likely a mix of chaparral and some arboreal species such as oak. Occupation of the site appears to be Late Prehistoric, and of...

Surface scrapings from the interior of a Fremont grayware cooking vessel were examined for pollen, starches, and phytoliths in an effort to determine the food or foods cooked. In addition, two residue samples were collected and examined from the interior of a large parching tray. Structural elements of this parching tray also were identified. These samples are part of the Pectol Collection consisting of Formative (Fremont) and Late Prehistoric artifacts that were collected by a private...

Excavations for the Ur-Energy Lost Creek Project at the Battle Spring West site yielded remains from multiple occupations extending from the Opal phase through Uinta phase. The excavation data did not reveal evidence of longterm occupation, such as structural elements or semi-permanent, immovable processing tools such as large ground stone implements. Taken as a whole, the site assemblage suggests the archaeological remains are the result of hunting-related activities including camping, tool...

X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy was used to determine the source of 107 obsidian projectile points in surface collections from the Beartooth Mountains of south-central Montana and northwest Wyoming. Seventy-two percent of the points were from Obsidian Cliff in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Evidence was found for change of source usage when the artifacts were grouped into cultural affiliation periods.

XRF (x-ray fluorescence) spectroscopy was used to study obsidian artifacts collected from the Helen Lookingbill site (48FR308). The site is located in the southern Absaroka Mountains, a part of the Central Rocky Mountains of Wyoming. Using XRF, the trace element proportions for artifacts were compared to trace element proportions for known sources to identify the sources of the artifacts. The artifacts were produced from four obsidian sources west and northwest of the site. The pattern of...

The Two Dot Flats site (48PA1068) was discovered in 1989 during cultural resource investigations of the Dead Indian Pass area by the Office of the Wyoming State Archaeologist for road construction activities by the Wyoming Department of Transportation (Eakin 1990). The Two Dot Flats site consists of over 400 stone cairns presumed to be parts of a prehistoric bison drive line complex, and around 40 stone circles believed to both predate the drive system and be a part of it.

The report is comprised of two separate "working papers" on the prehistory of the California Desert: 1) Background to Prehistory of the El Paso / Red Mountain Desert Region; and 2) An Archaeological Protection and Stabilization Plan for the Squaw Spring Well Archaeological District near Red Mountain, California. The first report represents the second in a series of regional (i.e., Planning Unit) studies undertaken or scheduled for the California Desert Planning Program, United States...
