Differentiating Between Human and Non-Human Predation of Small Mammals in the Archaeological Record (2006)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Small mammal remains, rodents, lagomorphs and insectivores, are commonly found within archaeological sites. However, presence does not equate to cultural use. Small mammals can become part of the archaeological record because of natural death, pitfalls, raptors and mammalian carnivores; as well as human use. Here these processes are compared and three main criteria are suggested for differentiating the cultural from non-cultural processes – environmental, archaeological context, and bone...

Hafted Stone Tools: A Look at Hunter-Gatherer Examples from the Central and Northwestern Plains (2006)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Chipped stone is a ubiquitous part of the prehistoric hunter-gatherer archaeological record in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains. It has long been recognized many chipped stone tools represent one element of a composite tool system which includes other perishable materials, such as wood and animal products. Because these latter materials rarely preserve, understanding the role of stone tools in prehistoric contexts is difficult. Although rare, some complete examples of these composite tools...

Latex Peels: A Method for Preserving Natural and Cultural Stratigraphy (2006)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
This article describes the methodology and application of latex peel technology for documenting natural and cultural stratigraphy. The techniques discussed are for mounting a cleaned profile surface layer, several millimeters thick, upon a permanent flexible backing. Latex peels are rapid and inexpensive to construct, portable and compact. Their use permanently and accurately documents details of depositional strata, soil horizons, micro-stratigraphy, and fabric of unconsolidated sediments. They...

Lithic Analysis from Two Prehistoric Sites (48NA312 AND 48NA2516) Near Martin's Cove, Natrona County, Wyoming (2006)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Extensive lithic collections have been made from the surface of two archaeological sites (48NA312 and 48NA2516) near Martin’s Cove, Natrona County, Wyoming. Contrary to the original archaeological assessment of the two sites (Griffiths and Talbot 1996), these two sites now appear to contain significant archaeological data concerning the prehistory of the central Wyoming area (NRHP Criterion D). Additional archaeological evaluation of the sites has become necessary to properly evaluate these two...

President Pipes: Origin and Distribution (2006)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Anthropomorphic terra cotta tobacco pipe fragments have been found in historical archaeological sites across the United States. This paper will discuss the subset of these known widely as “President Pipes”. This is actually a misnomer since some of these pipes are dedicated to presidential contenders. Several new points of origin for these pipes manufacture have been discovered. In addition to the anthropomorphic clay pipes, there are also anthropomorphic Meerschaum pipes and non anthropomorphic...
