Sources for Plateau Prehistory
In a 1969 paper Browman and Munsell draw erroneous conclusions about Plateau prehistory by failing to use primary sources. They also miss the point of some early work on the emergence of Plateau culture
The Shoup Rockshelters
In a review of the report on the Shoup Rockshelters in East Central Idaho, Richard Forbis used typology to question stratigraphy and early dates for side-notched points. The points are parallel, obliquely flaked, and have an age comparable to those at a number of sites in the West. Correlation of natural deposits was based on the character and origin of the sediments, fluorine analysis of bone, rock-fall counts, and radiocarbon dates

Archaeological Explorations in Southwestern Idaho
Field work in southwestern Idaho in 1959 has led to definition of a boundary zone between the Great Basin and Plateau culture areas. Around A.D. 1300, this boundary lay along the Snake River in southwestern Idaho, but in the 19th century it lay nearly 100 miles to the north of the Snake River. It is suggested that the contemporary environment of southwestern Idaho was established about 1000 B.C
A Correction for 'Early Cultures in Northwestern America
Early Cultures in Northwestern America
The major problem in studying Early Man in northwestern America would appear to be the definition of adequate criteria for the identification of cultures. What is needed is recognition of cultures rather than technological tool-making traditions. A useful approach is to establish a model of relationships between environments and cultures. A basic assumption is that both environment and culture are continuous and that present environments permit r…
Approach to Culture History in the Pacific Northwest
The Whiskey Dick Shellmound, Washington
A layer of shells covered by a mixed aeolian and alluvial deposit was exposed by a road cut in a tributary of the Columbia River. Three occupation levels contained few stone tools, including burins and large knives in the lowest level. A contracting-stem point in the middle level places the site in the Frenchman Springs III phase, 4th to 11th centuries A.D. The latest level reflects increasing aridity; the streams became intermittent and the popu…
A Small Rock Shelter in Eastern Washington
The artifacts described here were collected by Warren T. Lee in 1953 from a shelter hollowed out of basalt by the action of Crab Creek, the only perennial tributary of the left bank of the Columbia River between the junctions of the Spokane and Snake. The shelter is located in a semi-arid region near the western edge of Adams County where Crab Creek meanders in and out of Grant County on its way to the Columbia River at Beverly, Washington (Fig. …
Association of Bison with Artifacts in Eastern Washington
In 1954 Warren T. Lee found the horn core of a bison associated with a hearth and four tools on the east bank of the Columbia River, at Quilomene Rapids, in western Grant County, Washington. The site was found when overflow from a reservoir in the Quincy scablands cut a channel through the floodplain terrace. The hearth and associated materials were located in the wall of the channel 4 feet beneath the surface of the terrace. The finds are import…

Pleistocene Man at San Diego
The Schaake Village Site in Central Washington
This is a preliminary report on a stratified site in the Vantage region of the Columbia Plateau (Fig. 1). The earliest occupation dates from 10,000 years or more ago, and the sequence terminates with historic aboriginal habitations. The geology has been treated elsewhere (Swanson 1956), and the Early Man remains are being prepared for publication. This report concerns the last inhabitants of the site, who lived at various times in a small village…
An Archaeological Survey of Caves in Washington
During a long period of the time when archaeological research was in progress in other areas of North America, the Columbia Plateau and western Washington lay relatively untouched and unknown. Only recently have systematic studies been undertaken by the University of Washington.The archaeological survey of cave sites in Washington, during the summer of 1952, is a part of those studies. The plan was to locate as many caves as possible, to determin…
