A Granitic Ground Stone Tool Quarry in Belize
Archaeological interest in analyses of ground stone tools (GST) was minimal until fairly recent times. Often these typically heavy artifacts were noted, but not collected as parts of archaeological assemblages. Most archaeologists did not recognize that GST were sometimes manufactured and could be considered in light of chaîne-opératoire lithic theory, in the same manner as their flaked-stone counterparts. The articles in this Compact Section are…

Milling Implement Manufacturing at the Ironwood Quarry, Riverside County, California
The Ironwood Quarry is one of a series of milling implement quarries in the Palo Verde Mountains Quarry District of southern California. This quarry presents a unique circumstance where most manufacturing locations are segregated and can be individually identified. The low-density of the general debris of quarrying and preliminary shaping of preforms for milling implements thus facilitates understanding of individual manufacturing episodes. Data …

Holocene vegetation cycles, land-use, and human adaptations to desertification in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia
On the Shores of Silver Lake, Mojave Desert, California
Along the western and northern margins of Silver Lake (one lobe of remnant late Pleistocene Lake Mojave) near Baker, California, there are three locations where groups of circular/oval and linear stone features constructed of local cobbles and boulders extend from the latest Holocene shoreline out onto the playa. At two of these locations, other stone features on talus slopes just above the playa seem to be associated with the features on the pla…
Mongolian “Neolithic” and Early Bronze Age ground stone tools from the northern edge of the Gobi Desert
The transition from the Mongolian Neolithic to the Bronze Age is not well understood. Within Ikh Nart Nature Reserve, over a period of five years, we identified a number of sites with dense surface artefact scatters and features that seem to represent this transition period. Evident in those concentrations are characteristic microblade cores, microblades, “thumbnail" flake scrapers, projectile points, ground stone tools, and stone features of unk…
From “Paper Park” to model protected area
Protected areas represent the most effective form of biodiversity conservation; however, many remain poorly managed and some exist only on paper without management -called "paper parks". We describe our collective efforts to transform Ikh Nart Nature Reserve (Ikh Nart) in Mongolia from a paper park into a model protected area. Resource constraints and lack of capacity precluded active management prior to our project. This paper outlines the proce…

Quarrying and Production of Milling Implements at Antelope Hill, Arizona
Quarrying and Production of Milling, Implements at Antelope Hill, Arizona
To process mesquite, maize, and other substances, aboriginal groups living in the Lower Colorado-Lower Gila rivers region of SW North America used characteristic milling equipment: squared, flat-faced, convex-based metates (lower grindstones) with elongated manos (upper grindstones) and large wooden mortars with long, cylindrical stone pestles. Andesite and sandstone bedrock outcrops where stone was quarried and milling implements produced have b…
Immunological Identification of Small-Mammal Proteins on Aboriginal Milling Equipment
Ethnographic accounts of animal pulverization using stone grinding implements have led archaeologists to believe that this same behavior took place in the past. This important subsistence activity can now be confirmed through the immunological analysis of archaeological materials. Small-mammal blood-protein residue has been identified immunologically for the first time on milling equipment from two archaeological sites in southern California. Imm…
