Archaeological Investigations at the Seal Rock Site, 35LNC14 : A Late Prehistoric Shell Midden Located on the Central Oregon Coast

Creator:: Clark, Linda Ann
Abstract:: Seal Rock (35LNC14) is a late prehistoric shell midden site located on the central Oregon coast. Information derived from the faunal remains, radiocarbon dates, and location and size of the midden deposits suggest the site represents a late littoral stage of cultural adaptation. Analyses of lithic artifacts, and bone and...

Subsistence variability in the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Havercroft, Francine M.
Abstract:: During the summer of 1981, Oregon State University archaeologically tested three prehistoric sites on the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge. Among the sites tested were typical Willamette Valley floodplain and adjacent upland sites. Most settlement-subsistence pattern models proposed for the Willamette Valley have been generated with data from the...

Development of a Bone Artifact Typology for the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Lindsay, Lee W.
Abstract:: This thesis was to develop a bone artifact typology for the Oregon coast. This typology was used to test the hypothesis that different geographical regions of the Oregon coast would have different artifact assemblages associated with them. These regions, identified by geologist from landform changes, have been defined as: region...

The Identification of Early Prehistoric Settlement Patterns Along the Coast of Southwest Oregon : A Survey Based Upon Amateur Artifact Collections

Creator:: Pullen, Reginald John
Abstract:: Surveys of amateur artifact collections in southwest Oregon indicate that traditional settlement pattern models for this region may be in error. Based on the distribution of major styles of projectile points, at least two distinct periods of occupation are definable. The Early period is tentatively dated between 1000 B.C. and...

Creator:: Abusaidi, Ali
Abstract:: Under the sponsorship of the Klamath National Forest, 25 log cabins which were built in western Siskiyou County between 1850 and 1937 were located and studied. First, 11 exterior dimensions of these cabins were selected, measured and recorded. Then 26 building elements were identified for the purpose of finding whether...

An analysis of two post-Mazama prehistoric flaked stone scatters in the upper Deschutes River basin of central Oregon

Creator:: McFarland, Janine Ruth
Abstract:: During the summer of 1986, an archaeological testing project was completed at seven prehistoric campsites primarily located in the upper Deschutes River Basin of central Oregon. Testing was focused on two low-density "lithic scatters", an archaelogical site type which is especially abundant in this obsidian-rich region but which, to date,...
