Koster-N HILL Other Horizons (4,6,9AB and 12) Macro

Part of the Koster Site, IL (11GE4) project

Creator(s): Scott Rivas

Year: 2015

Summary

Combined dataset of combined Horizons 4, 6, 9A/9B and 12 from 1971-1974 excavations. All identifications are of macro remains and were done in Fred Hill's lab. Identification sheets have been transposed by S. Neusius and her students during 2015-2016 using PDFs of the Hill entry sheets. The format used generally matches that used for other Koster Horizons, except the identified materials from Hors 8A-10B that were used in Neusius' 1982 dissertation.

Notes

General Note: The Koster faunal databases loaded in tDAR were identified by several zooarchaeologists. Frederick C. Hill and his assistants identified much of the early material collected in test units dug in 1969 as well as materials from the excavation of Horizons 1-6. Hill's 1975 dissertation (see reference list associated with this project) is a primary source for this material. Sarah W. Neusius identified faunal remains from Horizons 8-10B as well as a small sample of materials from Horizon 11. Her 1982 dissertation as well as a 1986 article (see references) are the primary sources for this material. John Hewitt created the faunal file for Horizons 8-10B identifications in conjunction with his own 1982 dissertation (see references) Andrea L. Boon completed a MA thesis on a large sample of materials from Horizon 11 and reported on this research in her 2011 thesis (see references).

Source Collections

The Koster fauna remains are held by the Illinois State Museum, although some materials may remain with the Center for American Archaeology in Kampsville, IL.
