Obsidian, archaeological implication for the central Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Lindberg-Muir, Catherine
Abstract:: Archaeological sites located on the western flanks of the centra1 Oregon Cascades are often characterized by the lack of temporally diagnostic artifacts and materials suitable for radiocarbon dating. Consequently, the temporal context of these sites remains largely unknown. Various researchers also have suggested that these open-air lithic sites have been...

Measurement and meaning of archaeological diversity

Creator:: Betz, Virginia Marie
Abstract:: Archaeologists use diversity as one way of characterizing their assemblages. Diversity refers to both the number of artifact classes present (richness) and the proportional representation of classes (evenness). Numerical diversity indices measure one or both components. Archaeologists use assemblage diversity to infer behavior of prehistoric cultures. Archaeological inferences about behavior...

A study of acculturation : ORMU57, Portland's Old Chinatown, ca. 1870-1920

Creator:: Wernz, Maralee
Abstract:: This archaeological based research uses ceramics in the study of acculturation from a site excavated by an urban archaeology contract firm, and utilizes the theories of consumer choice, ethnicity and acculturation. Artifact analysis took place in the form of minimum vessel counts, artifact relative frequencies, and Chinese artifact values, as...

Secrets of the North Staffordshire ceramic recipes : identifying chemical variation and uniformity using an archaeometric approach

Creator:: Hale, Jessica A.
Abstract:: The present thesis chemically examined 174 industrial North Staffordshire pottery fragments from an archaeological context, using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA). In an integrated effort to combine an archaeometric approach with archival research and traditional analysis methods, the purpose of the thesis was to link industrial pottery manufacturers recipes to...

An analysis of lithic tools and debitage from 35CS1 : a prehistoric site on the southern Oregon coast

Creator:: Draper, John A.
Abstract:: The Philpott site (35CS1) is located on the north bank of the Coquille River near Bandon, Oregon. Test excavations at the site were conducted in 1978 by Oregon State University under the direction of Richard E. Ross. One artifact assemblage and one distinct component were defined during the analysis of...

A preliminary regional analysis of lithic cache sites in central Oregon

Creator:: Marschall, Mary Elizabeth
Abstract:: In the obsidian rich areas of central Oregon numerous lithic cache sites have been documented and strongly suggest the existence of a regional caching practice, however these sites remain poorly understood as cultural behavior. The primary objectives of this study are to develop and apply a research strategy addressing the...

Predictive locational modeling of late Pleistocene archaeological sites on the southern Oregon Coast using a Geographic Information System (GIS)

Creator:: Punke, Michele Leigh
Abstract:: The search for archaeological materials dating to 15,000 yr BP along the southern Oregon coast is a formidable task. Using ethnographic, theoretical, and archaeological data, landscape resources which would have influenced land-use and occupation location decisions in the past are highlighted. Additionally, environmental data pertaining to the late Pleistocene is...
