Sites 5DA3208 and 5DA3419 are located south of the town of Parker in Douglas County, Colorado. A 2017 excavation of Site 5DA3208 by ERO Resources revealed a multicomponent prehistoric open camp centered on a knoll overlooking Newlin Gulch (Marcus Espinosa, personal communication, November 21, 2018). Based upon identification of associated cultural materials, ERO suggests that Site 5DA3208 was most intensely occupied during the Late Archaic period. Additional evidence for Early Ceramic and Middle...

Site 48SU3993 exhibits three cultural components representing the Great Divide phase of the Early Archaic, the Opal phase of the Early Archaic, and the Pine Spring phase of the Late Archaic. Situated in the northern portion of the Wyoming Basin, this hunter-gatherer open camp represents multiple short-term residential camps. Pollen analysis of the modern surface, three stratigraphic samples, and nine thermal feature samples, as well as starch analysis of the same nine thermal feature samples,...

La Alberca Rockshelter is a highland cliff painting site located in the Tancítaro volcanic range foothills, Michoacan, Mexico. The site exhibits Mesoamerican motifs on the primary rock panel, while Archaic motifs are distributed throughout the cliff walls. Excavations at the rockshelter recovered obsidian flakes, an obsidian arrowhead, a smoothing or polishing rock, faunal remains, and a human skeleton. The burial included grave goods, and upon further excavation, it appears to have been...

Fill from two features at Site 41BS611 in Big Bend National Park, Texas, were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. Two ground stone samples also were washed to recover pollen/starches, while 20 flaked stone artifacts were analyzed for possible protein residues. This site is noted to be a large, open campsite containing stone-paved hearths and a lithic scatter. Diagnostic artifacts suggest Middle Archaic, Late Archaic, and Late Prehistoric occupations, while radiocarbon dates from three...

A total of fourteen samples from hearth features at sites 5MF6871, 5MF6872, and 5MF6806 were examined for pollen, starch, and macrofloral remains. These sites were encountered during well pad construction in Powder Wash, Colorado. Radiocarbon dates suggest Settled Period and Pioneer Period (both Early Archaic) occupations at 5MF6806, Settled Period and Aspen Tradition (Formative Era) occupations at 5MF6871, and Pioneer Period and Aspen Tradition occupations at 5MF6872. Pollen, starch, and...

The Water Authority Site (36WH1619) reflects a series of small prehistoric camps situated on the T1 terrace of the North Branch of Pigeon Creek south of I-70 in the Waynesburg Hills Section of the Appalachian Plateaus physiographic province, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Rock cluster features and artifacts, including bifacial and cobble/pebble tools, and debitage, likely reflect occupations dating between the Late Archaic through Late Woodland/Late Prehistoric periods. Activities at the site...

Archaeobotanical and organic residue analysis was conducted on a metate, mano, two lithic artifacts, and associated soil controls from sites 42SA21484 and 42SA24114, located in San Juan County, Utah. Site 42SA21484 is an Archaic period lithic scatter, and site 42SA24114 is an Early Archaic lithic quarry and lithic scatter with a historic component. The project area lies within two vegetation communities, the pinyon-juniper woodland and the sagebrush community. Pollen, phytolith, organic residue...

A preliminary cultural resource assessment survey was conducted of the 106,210 acre Avon Park Air Force Range (APAFR) in Polk and Highlands Counties, Florida. The purpose of the survey was to provide base level data on the types, distribution, and potential significance of archaeological and historic period sites located on the APAFR. An extensive literature search and a systematic field survey were conducted by Piper Archaeological Research, Inc. A total of 37 archaeological sites were located...

The purpose of the project, initially, was to determine site densities by environmental zone for management purposes. By the time the first draft of the report was completed, all base lands had been inventoried. This forced a reorientation of the projects goals to a more settlement pattern based analysis. Such an analysis includes not only sites recorded during the sample survey, but also all recorded sites on HAFB. The intensive cultural resources survey conducted by HSR documented 83...

Site 8HG1330 (Cara Cara Corner) is located in Highlands County, Florida. Cara Cara Corner is situated west of the Sandy Point Wildlife Refuge on an upland surface near the edge of a wet prairie. A possible Archaic-stemmed projectile point was collected from the site and submitted for protein residue (CIEP) analysis.

A total of 15 stone artifacts that included stones from rock-lined pits, plane scrapers and agave knives were submitted for protein residue analysis from several Archaic and Formative period sites located within the Fort Bliss Military Reservation. Previous to this study, burned limestone rocks were submitted to PaleoResearch for organic (FTIR) analysis from these same sites, as well as from a few other sites in the general area (Logan 2010). FTIR analysis was successful in detecting plant...

The Amanda’s Terrace Site (8HG1312), a prehistoric lithic scatter, is located in the Sandy Point Wildlife Refuge in Highlands County, Florida. Eight lithic artifacts including two flake tools, a reshaped biface/knife, a possible Paleoindian fluted point, and four points dating to the Early and Middle Archaic periods (Doug MacDonald, personal communication April 12, 2017) were submitted for protein residue analysis using counter immunoelectrophoresis (CIEP). In addition, charcoal identification...

Forty artifacts from site 11PK1702 in Bay Creek valley, Pike County, western Illinois, were submitted for ethnobotanic analyses. Twenty-two lithic tools were analyzed for protein, and fourteen ceramic sherds, two hammerstones, and two groundstones were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Pollen, starch, and phytolith analysis were also performed on two of the ceramic sherds. Site 11PK1702 represents a special function lithic workshop with intensive...

Swallow Shelter (5JF331) is located in the foothills of the Colorado Front Range. Nestled in the hogback area, the surrounding vegetation includes Gambel's oak (Quercus gambelii), grasses, and forbs. Excavation over the period of years has yielded numerous artifacts, including a collection of decorated burned and calcined bone. A portion of one of the decorated, calcined bone fragments was selected for AMS radiocarbon dating.

Items in the DAP nonflaked lithic tool assemblage and miscellaneous material files that represent “unusual materials of geologic origin” have been collected within a single rare rocks dataset (Keane and Clay 1987:507). More specifically, the dataset contains both naturally occurring and culturally modified items comprised of geological resources that are found in the Dolores Valley, or have been transported over long distances (Keane and Clay 1987). Items fashioned from rare material types are...
