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...

Megascopic plant remains from three housepits along the Applegate River, southwest Oregon

Creator:: Cole, Madeline L.
Abstract:: In 1982 a protohistoric archaeological site along the Applegate River in southwest Oregon was excavated by Oregon State University Department of Anthropology. Three housepits and a possible menstrual but were uncovered with lithic, faunal, and archaeobotanical elements recovered from house floors and hearths. Seven botanical taxa were represented by carbonized...

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,...

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...

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,...

Descriptive Analysis of Human Remains from the Fuller and Fanning Mounds, Yamhill River, Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Stepp, David
Abstract:: The study presents the results of a descriptive analysis of the skeletal remains of 66 individuals recovered from the Fuller and Fanning Mound sites, located on the Yamhill River, Willamette Valley, Oregon, excavated in 1941-42 by W. T. Edmundson and William S. Laughlin. The literature and original field notes have...

Bone Cave : A Special-Use Site in the High Lava Plains

Creator:: Ferguson, Jeffrey R.
Abstract:: Bone Cave is located in the High Lava Plains of Central Oregon, just east of Bend. Excavations were conducted at the site to examine the extent of looter disturbance, and to address research questions focused on prehistoric settlement and subsistence. In the excavation of more than 10 m3 of sediment...

Non-reservation Indian boarding schools, 1879-1969

Creator:: Jaworski, Carole Ann
Abstract:: This study examines two major issues: (1) to what extent have the conditions at non-reservation Indian boarding schools, as described by the Meriam Report of 1928, been in evidence from the beginning?; and (2) to what extent have these conditions improved since 1928? The conditions examined are: (1) General Conditions...

Detection of Burials at the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians Historic Period Cemetery, Oregon: A Comparison of Ground-Based Remote Sensing Methods

Creator:: Rogers, Michael
Abstract:: This project hypothesizes that the use of multiple ground-based remote sensing methods can collectively characterize the geophysical signatures of four marked human burials at the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians historic period cemetery. If the geophysical signatures of the marked burials can be characterized, these signatures may be used to...
