  • Bead analyst report from subcontractor (1996)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Chester King.

    Seven shell beads and a bead or ornament fragment were recovered from excavations at a portion of the RIV-2798 conducted by Statistical Research in October 1993. This report provides descriptions of the beads and discusses the time periods during which they were deposited. Also included in the PDF are notes, edits, and correspondence between Statistical Research Inc and Chester King.

  • Continuity and Change: Part 2 (1997)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Donn Grenda.

    Part 2 provides all of the necessary information by which the analyses, syntheses, and conclusions can be judged, including detailed unit, feature, stratum, and facie descriptions. All field methods and results are also presented here, including those for the geomorphological study.

  • Continuity and Change: Part 3 (1997)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Donn Grenda.

    Part 3 presents the analyses of ecofacts. These studies provide the bridge between the environmental background provided in Part 2 and the material culture studies in Part 4. Ecofactual analyses are aimed at helping us understand subsistence patterns throughout prehistory. Both the paleobotanical studies and the faunal remains demonstrate 8,500 years of continuity.

  • Continuity and Change: Part 4 (1997)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Donn Grenda.

    Part 4 presents the analyses of artifacts. Worked bone and lithic analyses inform on technology, whereas shell ornaments and beads provide hints about the more personal aspects of prehistoric life. Although minor changes in material culture emerge, the clear pattern is 8,500 years on continuity. Combined with the analyses presented in Part 3, these chapters provide the data to interpret site structure and address many of the research issues outline in Part 2.

  • Continuity and Change: Part 5 (1997)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Donn Grenda.

    Part 5 synthesizes the information presented in the report and places the site in its regional context. Because the site provides considerable time depth, issues such as change in site structure and social organization are addressed. This part demonstrates the unique nature of the Elsinore site both from a culture history perspective and as a database for archaeological research. We use this high-information site to reevaluate prehistory and to explore the challenges hunter-gathers faced over...

  • Final Catalog of Recovered Materials (1997)

  • Floatation Analysis report from subcontractor (1995)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Virginia Popper. Lisa Klug.

    The analysis of botanical remains from the Lake Elsinore site (Riv-2798) was conducted to provide evidence of plant use by the prehistoric inhabitants of this site. Riv-2798 is an open air site located at the bottom of a small hill on the banks of the outlet channel for Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, California (Grenda, personal communication, 1995). Radiocarbon dates are not yet available for this site, however a preliminary analysis by the site’s investigators suggests that the site was...
