Rose Valley Site (CA-INY-1799): Applying an Interdisciplinary Approach to a Western Great Basin Paleoindian Site
Author(s): Anthony Morales
Year: 2019
Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
In 2017, California State University, Los Angeles, began a multi-year investigation of the Rose Valley Site (CA-INY-1799). As an enhancement of our archaeological methodology, my study has emphasized an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates geological research and geospatial technologies. This includes the use of geostatistical analyses, extensive subsurface soil sampling, and the utilization of drones for topographical surveying and detailed mapping. Utilizing this approach, the resultant maps and datasets were used to identify statistically significant patterns amongst the spatial distribution of artifacts and aid in the reconstruction of the natural and cultural depositional processes at this highly significant site.
