Successful Sourcing of Plant Material from Paisley Caves, Oregon: Results

Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Plant and animal perishable remains are not uncommon in dry cave archaeological contexts, which have made significant contributions to archaeological knowledge in recent years. Textiles (including basketry, cordage, woven, knotted, or plaited products) make up a considerable portion of the perishable archaeological record in these contexts, much of which is created from plants and plant fibers in the northern Great Basin. Using 87/86 strontium isotopes, I was able to successfully determine the geographic locations of harvest for five experimental specimens excavated from the Paisley Caves Younger Dryas and Early Holocene levels (12.9 - 8 ka). In this presentation, I will discuss my results.
