Progress in the Search for Early Sites in the Lower Salmon River Canyon, Idaho: A Case Study in Geoarchaeological Prospection

Creator:: Lancaster, JD L.
Abstract:: The search for and discovery of early archaeological sites is an inherently geoarchaeological problem. Archaeological sites of late Pleistocene-age are known to be located in the Intermountain West, however, the record of these early sites remains limited to only a few examples. In the lower Salmon River canyon (LSRC), the...

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...

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...

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...

Transect across the Salmon River suture, South Fork of the Clearwater River, western Idaho : rare earth element geochemical, structural, and metamorphic study

Creator:: Hoover, Amy L.
Abstract:: In the South Fork of the Clearwater River area, the Salmon River suture (Lund and others, in prep.) is defined by an abrupt change in lithology, structure, initial strontium isotope ratios (Fleck and Criss, 1985), and rare earth element signatures. These changes occur across a narrow, structurally complex zone (less...

Geology of the Sturgill Peak Area, Washington County, Idaho

Creator:: Skurla, Steven John
Abstract:: The oldest rocks of the Sturgill Peak area are herein named the grassy slope phyllites, and are of Permian (?) age. They are divided into a phyllitic member, consisting of complexly folded and highly sheared phyllites and phyllitic cherts, and a limestone member, containing sheared limestone, silicified limestone, and chert....

Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Igneous petrology, structural geology, and mineralization of the central part of the Bayhorse Mining District, Custer County, Idaho

Creator:: Hodges, Wade Allan
Abstract:: The central part of the Bayhorse Mining District is located in the Salmon River Mountains in north-central Idaho between the towns of Challis and Clayton. The area is underlain by metasedimentary rocks of Early to Middle Paleozoic age that were profoundly affected by the emplacement of a plutonic complex in...
