Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Summary

Site B1, 36WH1729 is an Early and Middle Woodland site located on a first order terrace bench overlooking an unnamed tributary of Chartiers Creek, Washington County, Pennsylvania. This portion of the Ohio River drainage occupies the Appalachian Plateau physiographic province and includes narrow hilltops and steep-sloped, narrow valleys. Elevations within the APE have a range of 291–436 m (955–1430 ft) above mean sea level (amsl). The project area falls within the deciduous broadleaf forest association and Alleghenian faunal zone (Herbstritt 1980:18-19 in Heberling Associates, Inc., September 2016:2-2). Shovel tests revealed flaked stone tools, cores, debitage, and fire-cracked rock (FCR). Samples were submitted for pollen, protein residue, and organic residue (FTIR) analysis.
