A hearth with a view, the spatial analysis of a Late Holocene hunter-gatherer house
Author(s): Ethan Epstein
Year: 2015
Summary
Excavations of a house floor located in North America’s Great Basin resulted in hundreds of bone and stone artifacts. We present a spatial analysis of the recovered household artifacts. Identified raw materials provide evidence for connections to communities farther afield. Results indicate a diverse and complex suite of social goals.
