A Reconstruction of Plant Species Composition at the Devil's Kitchen Site (Southern Oregon Coast) using Plant Opal Phytoliths and Charcoal Macro-remains

Creator:: Bulder, Nicholas H.
Abstract:: Although plant remains, such as opal phytolith and charcoal analyses, have been used since the beginning of the 20th century to reconstruct past environments by ecologists and botanists, only recently have these techniques been considered by archaeologists in understanding the past at the site level. This study employs opal phytolith...

Site formation at Ayia Varvara Asprokremnos and predictive modeling for neolithic sites, Cyprus

Creator:: Barnett, Darby E.
Abstract:: Site formation processes at Ayia Varvara Asprokremnos, a potentially early Neolithic archaeological site on Cyprus, are examined in order to build a larger predictive model. The study area immediate to the site encompasses 6.33 hectares and includes the site and alluvial terraces on both sides of the Gialias River. Fourteen...

A Study of Early Holocene Paleoprecipitation Record from Freshwater River Mussel Shell at the Cooper's Ferry Site, Idaho and Their Archaeological Implications

Creator:: Jimenez, Alejandra P.
Abstract:: Studies of δ¹⁸O held in freshwater bivalve shell carbonate are useful for reconstructing paleoclimates and environmental changes and inform interpretations about past human behavior and periods of culture change. Stable isotope analyses (δ¹⁸O) of Margaritifera falcata shells found at the Cooper's Ferry archaeological site located in the lower Salmon River...

Geoarchaeological research within five river miles of the Upper Klamath River Canyon : use of pedogenic properties to calculate alluvial terrace age

Creator:: Hescock, Sara
Abstract:: Soil is a valuable medium when investigating the past-- from understanding rates of development, landform evolution, to the construction of various predictive models. Landforms and sediments provide insight into depositional environments and soil morphology indicates pedogenic change within those landforms. The rate at which pedogenesis occurs has been quantitatively measured...

Looking for Fish of the Right Age : Developing Predictive Modeling for Submerged Sites Using GIS, Salmon Genetics, and the Human Ecology of Salmon

Creator:: Krier, Jon C.
Abstract:: A major challenge to the study of the peopling of the Americas is that much of the Bering Land Bridge (Beringia), the geographic area that people migrating from Northeast Asia into North America would presumably have passed through, is now submerged due to sea-level rise since the last glacial maximum....

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...

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...

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...

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...
