Early Holocene alluvial stratigraphy, chronology, and Paleoindian/Early Archaic geoarchaeology in the Loup River Basin, Nebraska, U.S.A
Site Structure and Activity Organization at a Late Paleoindian Base Camp in Western Nebraska
Paleoindian archaeology on the Great Plains is often characterized by the investigation of large mammal kill/butchery bonebeds with relatively high archaeological visibility. Extensively documented aspects of Paleoindian behavioral variability include the form and composition of weaponry systems, hunting strategies, carcass exploitation, and hunter mobility. Non-hunting oriented aspects of settlement and subsistence behavior are less documented. …
The Angus Mammoth
The Angus Mammoth site in south-central Nebraska has been controversial since its discovery in 1931 when a fluted artifact was reported to be associated with the mammoth. For nearly 80 years it has not been known if Angus was a paleontological site predating the human occupation of North America as has been asserted by some geologists and paleontologists, or an archaeological site dating to the late Pleistocene as has been advocated by some archa…
Geospatial Technologies as a Vehicle for Enhancing Graduate Education and Promoting the Value of Geography
Geospatial technologies (GSTs), such as geographic information systems, global positioning systems and remote sensing, present an avenue for expanding the already strong interdisciplinary nature of geography. This paper discusses how GSTs served as a common thread for a crosscutting faculty institute that was established to enhance graduate student teaching and learning at a comprehensive university. Results of this institute demonstrate that thi…
Faunal exploitation by Early Holocene hunter/gatherers on the Great Plains of North America
Stratigraphy and environmental reconstruction at the middle Wisconsinan Gilman Canyon formation type locality, Buzzard's Roost, southwestern Nebraska, USA
The middle Wisconsinan Gilman Canyon Formation at the Buzzard's Roost type locality in southwestern Nebraska was investigated to document the stratigraphy and to reconstruct the environmental and climate record. The Gilman Canyon Formation was subdivided into three loess units and three soils, with radiocarbon ages constraining it between about 40 ka and 25 ka. Stable carbon isotope ratios, magnetic susceptibility, and carbon content were used to…
Eolian and soil stratigraphy at a Paleoindian site along the South Platte River valley, Nebraska, U.S.A
Eolian and soil stratigraphy and radiocarbon ages of soil humates were used to reconstruct landscape evolution at a site (25KH67) in western Nebraska along the South Platte River. The site is on the bluff of a short, deeply incised, dune‐blocked tributary to the South Platte. The Paleoindian component is in the lower part of the Brady Soil. The age of the lower Brady Soil where cultural material was recovered is 10,360 yr B.P., and the age of the…

An Archaeological and Geomorphic Survey of Paleoindian Sites at Harlan County Lake, Harlan County, Nebraska
The Harlan County Lake Paleoindian Project utilizes information from amateur archaeologists to document Paleolndian cultural resources at Harlan County Lake. Background information on Paleoindian resources and geomorphology at the lake and nearby areas of the Republican River valley is presented. Ten new sites are recorded, nine of which contain Paleoindian artifacts. Eight other previously recorded sites have additional Paleoindian components ad…
Radiocarbon Ages of Soils and Charcoal in Late Wisconsinan Loess, South-Central Nebraska
The Farmdale Soil occurs below late Wisconsinan loess throughout the U.S. Midwest. At the La Sena site in the central Great Plains, humates in the Farmdale Interstadial Soil have a corrected age of 21,000 yr B.P. Humates in a buried Bt horizon and a bulk sample of overlying loess 2.5 m above the Farmdale Interstadial Soil have ages of 17,000 and 19,000 yr B.P., respectively. In the Republican River Valley Picea (spruce) charcoal is common in the …
Holocene Alluvial Fills in the South Loup Valley, Nebraska
Four Holocene alluvial fills are present in Nebraska's South Loup River valley. Fill IV, the oldest and thickest, was deposited between 10,200 and 4800 14 C yr B.P.; Fill III has an age of about 3000 14 C yr B.P.; Fill II is younger than 2100 and older than 900 14 C yr B.P.; and Fill I is younger than 900 14 C yr B.P. Regional contemporaneity of valley alluviation in the eastcentral Great Plains suggests that climate has controlled long-term sedi…
