The geography and progression of blowouts in the coastal dunes along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan since 1938
Coastal dunes along Lake Michigan's eastern shoreline are a unique system comprising perhaps the largest complex of freshwater coastal dunes in the world. Here, we examine the blowouts in this region and determine how they have evolved since the 1930s. We conducted a spatiotemporal analysis of 435 blowouts by comparing repeat aerial images of the coast beginning in 1938. Using an unsupervised machine learning classification known as iso-clusterin…
The Parkhill Phase Middle Paleoindian Hipwater Site, Great Lakes, USA
The Hipwater Locale is a small Parkhill Phase Middle Paleoindian (ca. 12,200–11,600 cal yr BP) assemblage from south central lower Michigan, recovered by the property owners and the lead author. Interdisciplinary analysis reveals that the locale is likely a short term but intensive discard location with an assemblage composed of unfinished and broken fluted and unfluted bifaces with almost no associated debitage. There is evidence for a hearth in…
The Precontact Archaeology of the Michigan State University Campus and the Campus Archaeology Program (CAP)
Here we summarize the current state of knowledge about the precontact archaeology of the Michigan State University (MSU) campus as revealed through work conducted by the MSU Campus Archaeology Program (CAP), the MSU Museum, and the Department of Anthropology. A multipronged approach places this collective work in programmatic, institutional, historical, geographic, and archaeological context. The history of CAP and its impact on campus operations…
A sediment-mixing process model of till genesis, using texture and clay mineralogy data from Saginaw lobe (Michigan, USA) tills
We present a sediment-mixing process model of till genesis based on data from surface tills of the Saginaw lobe terrain in lower Michigan. Our research uses a spatial approach to understanding glacial landsystems and till genesis. We sampled calcareous till at 336 upland sites and at 17 sites in lacustrine sediment of the Saginaw Lake plain. The loamy tills have bimodal grain-size curves, with a fine-texture mode near the silt–clay boundary and a…
Reconstructing the precontact Late Woodland archaeology of site 20LU115 and the landscape history of Sleeping Bear Point, Great Lakes, USA
A multifaceted, multidisciplinary research strategy was employed to reconstruct the taphonomy and environmental history of a late Holocene coastal archaeological site (20LU115) at Sleeping Bear Point on the northeast coast of Lake Michigan, USA. Our case study shows how interdisciplinary examination of coastal processes that impact archaeological site preservation and destruction can beneficially integrate human settlement into an evolving landsc…
The OSL chronology of eolian sand deposition in a perched dune field along the northwestern shore of Lower Michigan
Extensive coastal dunes occur in the Great Lakes region of North America, including northwestern Michigan where some are perched on high (~ 100 m) bluffs. This study focuses on such a system at Arcadia Dunes and is the first to systematically generate optical ages from stratigraphic sections containing buried soils. Dune growth began ca. 4.5 ka during the Nipissing high lake stand and continued episodically thereafter, with periods of increased s…
Differential Temporal and Spatial Preservation of Archaeological Sites in a Great Lakes Coastal Zone
Analysis of regional site taphonomy that incorporates depositional and postdepositional histories has become increasingly important in understanding the nature of preserved site populations and the strategies necessary for their discovery. We applied a systematic archival and field strategy directed at understanding such taphonomic processes in the coastal sand dunes of the northern and eastern Lake Michigan basin, and coupled these with a tactic…
Middle-Holocene mobilization of aeolian sand in western upper Michigan and the potential relationship with climate and fire
A forested dunefield covers the Baraga Plains in western upper Michigan. The ages of five dunes, from across the dunefield, were determined by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), employing the single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) method on quartz grains. The results indicate that sand mobilization was restricted to the middle Holocene, at around 7 ka. Four environmental variables, rapid climatic oscillations, fire, strong winds and a dry c…
Environmental Ethics and Coastal Dunes in Western Lower Michigan
The management of shoreline dune systems in the Great Lakes has long been contested. Some parties have viewed them as a consumable resource, while others have argued for their preservation. These differences arise out of con-trasting views about both the value of the dunes as well as which kind of value overrides which. Some of their value has been seen as residing in their geomorphic uniqueness, an interpretation based on older (largely qualitat…
Dominance of an ∼150-Year Cycle of Sand-Supply Change in Late Holocene Dune-Building along the Eastern Shore of Lake Michigan
Outcrops of buried soils on lake-plains and glacial headlands along Lake Michigan's eastern shore suggest that periodic dune-building has occurred there after relatively long (≥100 yr) periods of low sand supply. We located, described, and radiocarbon dated 75 such buried soils that crop out in 32 coastal dune fields beside the lake. We assume that peaks in probability distributions of calibrated 14 C ages obtained from wood, charcoal, and other …
Geochemical and mineralogical evidence from eolian sediments for northwesterly mid-Holocene paleowinds, central Kansas, USA
Late-Quaternary Landscape Response to Environmental Change in South-Central Kansas
The central Great Plains is an excellent place to study late-Quaternary geomorphic responses to climatic fluctuations because the landscape is easily disturbed and deposits contain abundant paleoenvironmental information. Although much research has already been conducted, studies are needed that correlate a variety of geomorphic responses to environmental change at specific sites. This paper presents a paleoenvironmental and geomorphic reconstruc…
Climatic Implications of the Late Quaternary Alluvial Record of a Small Drainage Basin in the Central Great Plains
Four late-Quaternary alluvial fills and terraces are recognized in Wolf Creek basin, a small (163 km 2 ) drainage in the Kansas River system of the central Great Plains. Two terraces were created during the late Pleistocene: the T-4 is a fill-top terrace underlain by sand and gravel fill (Fill I), and the T-3 is a strath terrace cut on the Cretaceous Dakota Sandstone. Both Fill II (early Holocene) and Fill III (late Holocene) are exposed beneath …
