  • Carlston Annis Shell Midden Site (15Bt5), vertebrate faunal remains (1992)
    DATASET George Crothers.

    Vertebrate faunal remains recovered from the Carlston Annis site as part of the Shell Mound Archaeological Project (SMAP) directed by William Marquardt and Patty Jo Watson.

  • DeWeese Shell Midden Site (15Bt6) vertebrate faunal remains (1996)
    DATASET George Crothers.

    Test Unit B1 (1x1 m), excavated in 1994 by arbitrary 10 cm levels, except Level 1 (0-30 cm), which is the plowzone. Total depth 220 cm below surface datum. All matrix waterscreened through 1/4" (6.4 mm) mesh and 40% sample of each level screened through 1/16" (1.6 mm) mesh. Flotation column measuring 25 x 25 cm taken from the southwest corner of each level (except plowzone). Identifications in this dataset are only remains from 1/4" mesh of both the general waterscreen matrix and flotation...

  • Haynes Shell Midden Site (15Bt11), Fresh water mussel (Unionidae) remains (1996)
    DATASET Darcy Morey. George Crothers.

    Bivlaves recovered from flotation column (25 x 25 cm) of Test Unit A1 and a corresponding control block (25 x 25 cm) carefully excavated by hand. All specimens in the control block were removed to avoid damage by normal waterscreen or flotation techniques. Total number of bivalve shells is 4635.

  • Haynes Shell Midden Site (15Bt11), vertebrate faunal remains (1996)
    DATASET George Crothers.

    Vertebrate faunal remains from Excavation Unit A1 (1 x 1 m), excavated in arbitrary 10 cm levels to 205 cm below surface datum. Level 1 is 0-25 cm (plowzone), Level 2 is 25-30 cm, and levels 3-19 are each 10 cm. Level 20 is 200-205 cm. All matrix waterscreened through 1/4" (6.4 mm) mesh and a 40% sample from each level waterscreened through 1/16" (1.6 mm) mesh, except Level 1, which was dryscreened 1/4" only. Flotation column collected from each level in the southwest corner, except Level 1....

  • Kramer Mound, IN (12Sp7) Faunal Dataset (2010)
    DATASET Tanya Peres.

    Faunal data recovered from Kramer Mound Site, IN (12Sp7). Zooarchaeological identifications and analyses (including bone tools) were conducted by and under the direct supervision of Dr. Tanya M. Peres. From the report (Bergman, C., Peres, T., & Schmidt, C. (2014).

  • Riverton Site, IL (11CW170) 1961 Mollusca data (1916)
    DATASET Mona Colburn. Paul W. Parmalee.

    Bivalve and gastropod remains were excavated under the direction of Howard D. Winters during June 1961 at the Riverton Site, Illinois (11CW170). Remains were screened with unspecified mesh size; however, it is presumed that 1/4" mesh was used. Five 5 foot squares were excavated. Levels were excavated in 6" increments. Dr. Paul Parmalee analyzed the bivalves. Dr. Parmalee only recorded attributes for the following variables: taxon, and the number of identified specimens.

  • Riverton Site, IL (11CW170) 1961 vertebrate fauna (1961)
    DATASET Mona Colburn. Paul W. Parmalee.

    Vertebrate faunal remains excavated under the direction of Howard D. Winters during June 1961 at the Riverton Site, Illinois (11CW170). Remains were screened with unspecified mesh size; however, it is presumed that 1/4" mesh was used. Dr. Paul Parmalee analyzed the faunal remains. Dr. Parmalee only recorded attributes for the following variables: taxon, element, completeness (whole vs fragmentary), the number of identified specimens, and miscellaneous comments.

  • Riverton Site, IL (11CW170) 1963 vertebrate fauna (1963)
    DATASET Mona Colburn. Paul W. Parmalee.

    Vertebrate faunal remains excavated at the Riverton Site, Illinois (11CW170) under the direction of Joseph R. Caldwell during July and August 1963. Remains were hand troweled and some features were screened with unspecified mesh size (it is presumed that 1/4" mesh was used). Dr. Paul Parmalee analyzed the faunal remains. Dr. Parmalee only recorded attributes for the following variables: taxon, element, completeness (whole vs fragmentary), the number of identified specimens, and miscellaneous...
