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...

Prehistoric Utilization of Thermal Springs in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Griffin, Dennis, 1953-
Abstract:: Natural thermal springs occur throughout the Pacific Northwest. The use and importance of this natural environmental feature to Native Americans prior to and during the period of initial white contact is examined. Ethnographic, archaeological, and oral historical information is described in an attempt to reconstruct the role of these naturally-heated...

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...

Aboriginal fishing at Seal Rock (35-LC-14) and Neptune (35-LA-3) : late-prehistoric archaeological sites on the central Oregon coast

Creator:: Zontek, Terry
Abstract:: A sample of fish remains from two late-prehistoric archaeological sites on the central coast of Oregon were analyzed to partially evaluate two models of aboriginal subsistence-settlement systems. One model is based upon ethnograhpic data, primarily Drucker's (1939), for Yakonen speakers collected in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The...

Whale Cove (35LNC60) : an archaeological investigation on the central Oregon coast

Creator:: Rogers, Ann Bennett
Abstract:: The Whale Cove Site, 35LNC60, is a shell midden, showing occupations from 3010 B.P. to 330 B.P., spanning the Early and Late Littoral Periods. Analysis of mammalian faunal remains, bone and antler tools, lithics and discriptions of recovered shellfish artifacts allows for chronological refinement of the previously mentioned archeologically defined...

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,...

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...

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...

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...
