Soil nutrients and pre‐European contact agriculture in the leeward Kohala field system, Island of Hawai‘i
Studies in the leeward Kohala field system on Hawai‘i Island have considered the processes and timing of agricultural development associated with sociopolitical transformations and the production of agricultural surpluses. Using extensive soil sampling, we explore the use of relatively mobile and immobile soil parameters within the agricultural landscape to interpret the development and maintenance of the system over time. Results show that in th…

Big Sites, Small Sites, and Coastal Settlement Patterns in the San Juan Islands, Washington, USA
In this article we examine prehistoric coastal settlement patterns in the San Juan Islands, Washington by integrating dating work with erosion studies, accumulation rate analysis, and paleoenvironmental data. Dating work draws on previously published radiocarbon dates from big sites and new radiocarbon dates from both big and small sites. We find that an increase in abundance of sites at 650–300 cal BP is amplified but not created by site destruc…

The fluvial and geomorphic context of Indian Knoll, an Archaic shell midden in West‐Central Kentucky
Indian Knoll is the largest Archaic shell midden excavated by WPA archaeologists in Kentucky. Situated in a large alluvial valley, the site is not associated with a known river shoal as might be expected, making its fluvial and geomorphic setting of interest. Based on sediment cores and auger samples, undisturbed portions of the site remain despite extensive excavations. In undisturbed portions, a shell‐bearing layer is overlain by a shell‐free m…

A Review of Site Formation Processes and Their Relevance to Geoarchaeology
Sediments in Archaeological Context
ers. The potential links between these features of Aurignacian adaptations and the emergence of complex symbolic behavior are touched upon, but in the end are perhaps wisely left as an open question. Absent a detailed consideration of these broader links, however, there is little to suggest that the organization of Aurignacian subsistence behavior and stone raw material utilization were somehow
Earthquake-induced burial of archaeological sites along the southern Washington coast about A.D. 1700
Although inhabited by thousands of people when first reached by Europeans, the Pacific coast of southern Washington has little recognized evidence of prehistoric human occupation. This apparent contradiction may be explained partly by geologic evidence for coastal submergence during prehistoric earthquakes on the Cascadia subduction zone. Recently discovered archaeological sites, exposed in the banks of two tidal streams, show evidence for earthq…
Effects of scale on archaeological and geoscientific perspectives
Coring in CRM and Archaeology
Corers and augers have become increasingly useful in archaeological investigations, but more in cultural-resource management (CRM) than in research archaeology. Although this increase is evident, coring and augering were used in the earliest CRM projects in the 1970s and merely have gained in popularity in the last five years. Schuldenrein (1991) points out that of all the coring and augering equipment described, the manual bucket auger with a la…
Theoretical issues in the interpretation of microartifacts
Archaeology is increasingly partitioned into specialities. While this practice is not universally deleterious, frequently it limits the impact of novel concepts to small segments of the discipline. Such is the case with the idea of microartifacts, now treated by only a handful of specialists. After linking the definition of microartifact to techniques of sampling and identification, the unique and valuable information of small artifacts is obviou…
Variability of laboratory procedures and results in geoarchaeology
Many laboratory techniques are available to geoarchaeologists to determine physical or chemical attributes of sediment or soil samples, and several techniques are often available for analysis of a single attribute. This is illustrated by analyzing duplicate sediment and soil samples from the British Camp Site (Washington) and Lubbock Lake Site (Texas) using two methods for organic carbon content, two methods for organic matter content, and three …
Size distributions of artifact classes
The size and composition of microartifacts (objects less than 2 mm) and macroartifacts (objects greater than 2 mm) are utilized to interpret the formational processes of an archaeological site. Because grain‐size distributions are known to reflect mode of transport and source, the attribute of size is examined by plotting each artifact class (unmodified rock, modified rock, ceramic, concretion, bone/shell, and metal) in size frequency diagrams. t…

Coring Archaeological Sites
The history of coring and augering at archaeological sites is traced to two periods in the twentieth century. In the first period, Period I (1935-1955), the technique was used primarily to correlate archaeological deposits with river sediments for dating purposes. Rarely were the deposits containing artifacts cored or augered; rather the stratigraphic relationship of cultural to non-cultural deposits was sought. Most of this work was done in the …

Earthworm Activity
Conspicuous disturbances in archaeological sites are readily detected during excavation. However, one animal whose destructive effects are not often recognized is the earthworm. Work at the Carlston Annis mound in Kentucky, an Archaic shell midden, has resulted in the identification of areas of extensive earthworm disturbance. Archaeological sites most readily affected are those with the appropriate vegetation cover, moisture and temperature cond…
