Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The archaeological record of the Late Holocene in the Lake Abert-Chewaucan Marsh Basin provides insights into hunter-gatherer mobility and response to climatic change. This paper aims to provide a framework and understanding of how hunter-gatherers adapted to living on the landscape of the largest North American fault scarp, Abert Rim, in south-central Oregon. Artifacts excavated from two house rings at the Poison Creek Rim Site yielded data regarding hunter-gather mobility in the Late Holocene. Using lithic analysis, obsidian sourcing studies, and geospatial modeling, I discuss how hunter-gatherers made use of the upland marginal environment of Abert Rim throughout the Late Holocene.
