Middle Holocene Environment on the Ozark Margin in Southeast Missouri: Deciphering a Testudine Testament
Turtle taxa represented at Lepold site 23RI59 in southeastern Missouri, USA provide a record of environmental conditions spanning the Middle Holocene. Identified turtle taxa show that open water was present between 7500 and 4000 radiocarbon years ago. Aquatic resources seem to be more intensively exploited beginning about 6300 years ago, about 1200 years after intensive occupation of the site had begun. The observed turtle taxon composition is co…
Environmental implications of middle to late Holocene plains pocket gophers in Southeast Missouri
Plains pocket gopher, Geomys bursarius, a grassland inhabitant, is common among the mammal taxa identified on the southeast Ozark margin at the Lepold site, 23RI59, Ripley County, Missouri. Its presence throughout the midden depth, whether an incidental inclusion or human prey, implies that a favorable habitat existed in the immediate vicinity. As radiocarbon dates indicate midden deposition began about 7500 radiocarbon years before present, gras…
Mud Wasp Nests as Markers of Middle Holocene House Structures in the Central Mississippi Valley
Lumps of burned clay recovered from the Lepold site (23RI59) include four mud wasp nests deposited 5500 to 6200 BP. or perhaps slightly earlier. These provide indirect evidence of structures at the site. Existence of structures would be consistent with intensive occupation and increased occupation episode length evident at this site and elsewhere in the central Mississippi valley during the Middle Holocene
A Hafted Stone Celt from Genesee County, Michigan and Implications for Ground Stone Tool Use in the Eastern Woodlands
A ground stone celt in a wood handle from Genesee County, Michigan is one of a few hafted examples known in the Eastern Woodlands from an archaeological context. The artifact dates to late prehistoric or perhaps protohistoric times and has a haft configuration apparently used commonly in the prehistoric Eastern Woodlands and in ethnographic situations elsewhere in the world

Design and Evaluation of Shovel-Test Sampling in Regional Archaeological Survey
Shovel-test sampling, the excavation of small test units at regular intervals along survey transects, is a widely used technique for archaeological survey in heavily vegetated areas. In order to achieve efficiently the archaeological goals of a survey employing the technique, the survey should be designed with consideration of the statistical properties of shovel-test sampling. In this paper we examine the effects that test–unit size, spacing, an…
