Geoarchaeology at Tseriadun (35CU7), Curry County, Oregon

Creator:: Anderson, Frederick C.
Abstract:: The continuation of geoarchaeological investigations at Tseriadun (35CU7) contributes to the understanding of the site's depositional history and the associated environments, thereby identifying the long term geomorphic change in the area and providing the environmental context for local human activity as it is reflected in the archaeological record. Meeting this...

Prehistoric patterns of economic and technological behavior reflected in the 2004 lithic assemblage of site J69E, Espiritu Santo Island, Baja California Sur

Creator:: Ferrell, Luanne R.
Abstract:: The La Ballena #3 site J69E is a shell midden located on Espiritu Santo Island in Baja California Sur. Archaeological excavations conducted in the summer of 2004 investigated a midden containing lithic and shell artifacts as well as faunal and human remains. Analysis of the debitage and formed lithic tool...

Central place foraging and the winter village: a settlement pattern analysis in the lower Salmon River Canyon in Idaho

Creator:: Carlisle, Kendra
Abstract:: Hunter-gatherers depend on naturally occurring resources and, in order to survive, must overcome resource procurement challenges inherent in their environment. One challenge relates to the temporal and spatial availability of resources, which hunter-gatherers address, in part, through the strategic use of space to position themselves for optimal access to necessary...

Palynological Perspectives on Younger Dryas to Early Holocene Human Ecology at Paisley Caves, Oregon

Creator:: Saban, Chantel V.
Abstract:: The Younger Dryas climatic event is a global phenomenon associated with a 1,000 year return to glacial conditions during the late Pleistocene period between 12,800 and 11,500 cal BP. Because of its significant effects on paleoenvironmental conditions in some parts of the world, archaeologists commonly seek to assess whether the...

A provenance study of crypto-crystalline silicates at the Cooper's Ferry site : a geochemical approach

Creator:: Nyers, Alexander John
Abstract:: A provenance study of crypto-crystalline silicates was performed at the Cooper's Ferry archaeological site in west-central Idaho on the Columbia Plateau. In this research, the author used instrumental neutron activation analysis as well as portable x-ray fluorescence to examine and characterize the geochemistry of 300 geologic samples of crypto-crystalline silicates...

Late Pleistocene Lithic Technological Organization on the Southern Oregon Coast : Investigations at Indian Sands (35-CU-67C)

Creator:: Willis, Samuel C.
Abstract:: Excavations conducted at Indian Sands (35-CU-67C), located along Oregon's southern coast, during 2002 and 2003 identified two discreet, artifact-bearing stratigraphic units. The uppermost unit is a deflated surface containing burnt shell and lithic artifacts associated with early Holocene ¹⁴C dates, while the underlying unit contained only lithic tools and debitage,...

Expanding the chemostratigraphic framework of the Cooper's Ferry site (10IH73) using portable x-ray fluorescence spectrometry

Creator:: Holcomb, Justin Allen
Abstract:: This thesis reports a study of pXRF chemostratigraphy at the Cooper's Ferry site, located in western Idaho’s Lower Salmon River Canyon. The author used portable x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (pXRF) in order to independently test and expand the current chemostratigraphic framework at the site. PXRF applications targeted two stratigraphic sections located...

Perspectives on Pits of the Western Stemmed Tradition : An Analysis on the Contents of Feature 59 at the Cooper’s Ferry Site

Creator:: Carroll, Amanda J.
Abstract:: Excavation of a pit feature designated as Feature 59 (F59) from the Cooper’s Ferry site (10IH73) in western Idaho offers a unique opportunity to explore more about the Western Stemmed Tradition (WST) and how people used pits in the Far West. In this thesis, an analysis is conducted on the...

Geoarchaeological Investigations at the Devils Kitchen Site (35CS9), Southern Oregon Coast

Creator:: Curteman, Jessica Ann
Abstract:: A geoarchaeological investigation was conducted at the Devils Kitchen archaeological site, located in the Devils Kitchen State Park along the southern Oregon coast. In this thesis research, the author paired previous and recent excavated stratigraphy profiles to define culturally significant deposits. These stratigraphic units were defined further geochemically using a...

Archaeological Textile Fragments Present an Opportunity In the Study of Social and Landscape Interactions

Creator:: Lopez, Kirsten M.
Abstract:: Textiles (including basketry, cordage, woven, knotted, or plaited products) make up a considerable portion of the perishable archaeological record in dry caves of the northern Great Basin region, much of which is created from plants and plant fibers. The archaeological study of precontact textiles greatly informs our understanding of how...
