The Kawich Range is considered one of the least explored and most pristine mountain ranges in the Great Basin, part of 3.1 million acres withdrawn from public access in 1940s by the Department of Defense. Dames & Moore, under contract to Prewitt & Associates, was selected by Nellis Air Force Base to perform archaeological inventory and recordation of a 5,000-acre sample of the Kawich Range. The three phases of this project include: (1) preparation of a predictive model and research design; (2)...

The human skeletal remains referred to as the "Kennewick Man" or the "Ancient One", were found in July 1996 below the surface of Lake Wallula, a section of the Columbia River pooled behind McNary Dam in Kennewick, Washington. The discovery was made by a pair of college students wading in the shallow water along the southern lake bank. Most commentators and reporters described the legal controversy that developed and swirled around the Kennewick remains in rather super-heated rhetoric pitting...

The Koster site is an important open-air, deeply stratified site located in Greene County, Illinois that contains deposits dating from approximately 9000 BP to the Historic period. Although twenty-five cultural horizons have been recognized, the most important part of the sequence is the well-preserved Archaic Period sequence divided as follows: Early Archaic 1 (ca. 9000 BP, Horizon 13), Early Archaic 2 ( 8700-8450 BP, Horizons 12 and 11), Middle Archaic 1 (8300-7600 BP, Horizons 10B-8E),...

This letter, written by Francis P. McManamon, Departmental Consulting Archeologist, to Lt. Colonel Donald Curtis, Jr., United States Army Corps of Engineers-Walla Walla District, provides answers to a set of questions posed regarding aspects of the Kennewick Man case. Col. Curtis asked Dr. McManamon to address these questions because the DCA office was responsible for providing governmentwide expertise on implementation of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.

Little Freeman Cave (23PU565) is a large cave (25 m x 28 m with a current ceiling height of 6 m) situated in the oak-hickory forest on the south facing bluff overlooking the Big Piney River in the Central Ozark Highland in the Fort Leonard Wood military reservation in Pulaski County, Missouri. 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...

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...

Twenty-one flotation samples obtained from the Rockies East Pipeline archaeological project Site 33Pe807 were examined for botanical remains. Site 33Pe807 is located in Ohio and was occupied from the Early Archaic to the Late Prehistoric period. Bowes notes the predominance of hardwoods among the charred wood specimens recovered, as well as the presence of black walnut and hickory nuts. Many seeds and botanical remains were unidentifiable due to poor preservation.

This is a copy of the official Department of the Interior memorandum describing the determination that the Kennewick human skeletal remains should be considered "Native American" for the purposes of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The rationale for this determination, described in the memorandum relied upon the results of radiocarbon dating which established that the remains were clearly pre-Columbian, about 8,000 years old. Additional evidence from the...

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...

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...

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.

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...
