Late Glacial to Early Holocene Vegetation Reconstruction from the Wenas Creek Mammoth Site in Washington State
The Wenas Creek Mammoth site pollen record, which extends from ∼20,000–10,000 cal yr BP, is significant given that few eastern Cascade paleoecological records span the Late Glacial to Early Holocene. A Bayesian age-depth model applied to 24 pollen samples show the site remained a sagebrush steppe throughout, supporting grazing animals like mammoth and bison recovered in excavations. Arboreal pollen trends confirm the upward movement of conifers d…
Fish and Fishing in the Southern Columbia Plateau and Northwestern Great Basin during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene: A Review
Fish remains in Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene sites in the southern Columbia Plateau and northwestern Great Basin and artifactual evidence of fish exploitation indicate local Paleoindians exploited fishes. There is no significant difference in the proportion of assemblages with fish and the proportion of assemblages without fish in each area. The percentage of assemblages with anthropogenically deposited fish remains decreases over time in both…

Blind Testing of Faunal Identification Protocols: A Case Study with North American Artiodactyl Stylohyoids
Taxonomic identification of archaeofauna relies on techniques and anatomical traits that should be valid, reliable, and usable, but which are rarely tested. Identification protocols (techniques and anatomical traits), particularly those used to distinguish taxa of similar size and morphology, should be rigorously tested to ensure a solid interpretive foundation. Blind testing of a protocol for identifying stylohyoid bones of North American artiod…
Identifying and siding the stylohyoid bone for North American artiodactyls
The stylohyoid is the largest bone in the hyoid complex surrounding the throat in artiodactyls. There is little published information to allow its identification to species or anatomical side. Our study examined comparative stylohyoid bones to provide criteria for taxonomic identification, using 494 animals representing 13 artiodactyl species, including all species native to the continental United States. The goal was to find criteria showing at …

Bison Remains from ∼14,000 14 C yr BP at the Wenas Creek Mammoth Site in Washington State
Bison remains from the Wenas Creek Mammoth site in central Washington state consist of 21 elements, comprising a near-complete left hindlimb and partial lumbar-sacral vertebral column. The remains are dated ∼14,000 14C yr BP, a time with a noted paucity of bison specimens in the paleontological record of the region. Intermingled with mammoth remains in a mixed bonebed, the specimens show broad similarities to Bison antiquus at Rancho La Brea

Single‐Grain Luminescence Dating of Sediment Surrounding a Possible Late Pleistocene Artifact from the Wenas Creek Mammoth Site, Pacific Northwest, USA
Excavations at the Wenas Creek Mammoth Site yielded mammoth, bison, and two possible artifacts in a single colluvial stratum, with radiocarbon bone dates ∼17 ka. Eight infrared‐stimulated luminescence (IRSL) samples were collected to establish general ages of site strata, returning multi‐grain estimates consistent with stratigraphic integrity and the radiocarbon dates. Four additional IRSL samples were collected to estimate the depositional age o…
Evidence for Local Fish Catch In Zooarchaeology
Fish bones at archaeological sites may be used to address anthropological questions about past fishing practices and trade, as well as biological questions about past species distributions. In both cases, it is important to distinguish fish caught locally from those transported longer distances to the disposal site. The necessary standard of proof may vary by the geographic scale of the study and proximity to fish habitat, but multiple lines of e…
Ceramics from the Firehole Basin Site and Firehole Phase in the Wyoming Basin
The Firehole Basin site (48SW1217), excavated in 1976 and 1977, is the type site for the Firehole phase proposed by Metcalf for the Wyoming Basin of central and western Wyoming. Given the dearth of excavated sites for the period from 700-300 B.P, and dated ceramics in Wyoming Basin in general, the Firehole Basin assemblage is an important indicator of material culture in this time period, but the artifacts have never been analyzed or reported in …
Rabbit Hunting and Bone Bead Production at a Late Prehistoric Camp in the Wyoming Basin
Rabbit bones are common in sites of the Rocky Mountain Wyoming Basin, occurring in 85% of 111 reported faunal assemblages. They also dominate identified bones at more sites than any other taxon. Nonetheless, sites with large rabbit assemblages are rare. The Raptor site stands out in the region for its large number of rabbit bones as well as fragments of bone bead production waste. Excavations at this single component site dating about 1300-1200 R…
Observations on Seasonality and Mortality from a Recent Catastrophic Death Assemblage
Estimating age and season of death of pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana Ord) by means of tooth eruption and wear
Age and season of death information for prey animals at archaeological sites can address issues such as season of site occupation and prey hunting or harvesting strategies. Unfortunately, adequate reference information for estimating age and season is lacking for many wild species, including pronghorn antelope. To address this problem, new methods of scoring tooth eruption and wear have been developed and have been applied to a sample of over 500…
Prehistoric Fishing in the Middle Rocky Mountains
Archaeological evidence for fishing continues to be rare in the Middle Rocky Mountain region despite numerous excavations in recent years. Regional fish assemblages are few, stone netsinkers rare, and other fishing artifacts virtually unknown. The paucity of fish remains may be the result of recovery methods or excavation location bias, but recent investigations along the Green River demonstrate a terrestrial subsistence focus even along major dr…
Prehistoric pronghorn Hunting in Southwest wyoming
In the Wyoming Basin of southwest Wyoming, there are more pronghorn-dominated bone assemblages and possible communal kill sites than anywhere else in North America. Ten faunal assemblages in the region are dominated by pronghorn bones (>60% of identified specimens) and six assemblages possess at least six individuals each. Two of these sites have at least 26 individuals each, and one has at least 212 animals. Three additional sites retain possibl…
An Introduction to Pronghorn Biology, Ethnography and Archaeology
Commonly called “antelope” in North America, biologists normally prefer to call this animal the pronghorn (Antilocapra americana). Pronghorn are animals of the open plains and have adapted , to this environment with excellent eyesight, extraordinary speed, and a well-developed ability to broad-jump. Hunters of the past and present have exploited several aspects of pronghorn behavior, particularly their curiosity, reluctance to jump vertically, an…
