Lithic and Ceramic Cross-Mends at the Eaton Site

Part of the Eaton Site project

Author(s): Roderick Salisbury

Year: 2001

Summary

Two aspects of the artifact assemblage at the Eaton Site in

Western New York are examined. First, in what way and to

what extent did extensive plowing affect the integrity of the

site context? The data suggest that some important

inferences can be made. This allows for the second

discussion, regarding behavioral patterns. Distribution

maps of ceramic and lithic cross-mends, along with post

mold maps are used to study waste streams at Eaton, with

several distinct lines of refuse disposal identified. The

emphasis of the waste stream analysis is on discovering a

pattern in the discard practices for the two artifact types.
