Dendrochronology of the Pennsylvania Main Line Canal Lock Number Four, Pittsburgh
Well-preserved timbers and planks were excavated from Lift Lock No. 4 of the Pennsylvania Main Line Canal, built in Pittsburgh ca. 1829. The discovery of these extensive buried remains afforded an opportunity to explore the applicability of dendrochronological and dendroclimatological research to eastern United States mesic sites of the historic time period. Eighteen samples of white pine ( Pinus sp.) planks were analyzed using a tree-ring dating…
Analysis of Archaeobotanical Remains
Effects of Ecological and Paleoecological Patterns on Subsistence and Paleoenvironmental Reconstructions
Spatial and temporal variations in human populations are, to a large extent, determined by the environmentally controlled distribution of biotic and abiotic resources. While archaeologists generally recognize this relationship, many fail to fully appreciate the complexity of either the changing environment, the ecological literature, or applications of ecological data to archaeological problems. It is important to apply modern ecological principl…
Plant Remains From Phillips Spring, A Multi Component Site In The Western Ozark Highland Of Missouri
Phillips Spring (23Hi216) is a multicomponent archaeological site associated with an active artesian spring on a terrace of the Pomme de Terre river in western Missouri. Preservation of both carbonized and uncarbonized plant remains is excellent and remains of plants representing 32 taxa, including 24 potential food plant, occur atthe site as well as eight taxa of wood charcoal. In addition, there are remains of squash (Cucurbita pepo) and bottle…
Additional Cautions on the Use of the Glo Survey Records in Vegetational Reconstructions in the Midwest
Data from the United States General Land Office Surveys are frequently used to reconstruct the vegetation existing at the time of European settlement as a basis for biotic models. The vegetation recorded in those surveys had been influenced not only by climatic conditions considerably colder and more moist than the present, but by frequent, widespread burning as well. The effect of such burning on the distribution and composition of forest vegeta…

Holocene Environmental Changes in the Alpine Zone, Northern San Juan Mountains, Colorado: Evidence from Bog Stratigraphy and Palynology
Cores from five high alpine basins in the northern San Juan Mountains show several fluctuations in lithology. Typically, peats are interbedded with coarser clastic sediments or else woody peats alternate with fibrous peat. Twenty 14 C dates provide radiometric control. Sediment rates averaged about 2.5 cm/100 yr but varied at the different sites between 1.19 and 50 cm/100 yr. Rates were lower during the middle of the Holocene. Basal radiocarbon d…
Plant Remains From a Woodland Storage Pit, Boney Spring, Missouri
An Early Woodland storage pit, dated at 1920±50 BP, was found in the peat layer surrounding the spring feeder at Boney Spring, Benton County, western Missouri, in association with a burial and other cultural material. The pit contents were unusually well preserved, apparently because of the saturated condition of the spring deposits. Materials from the pit were compared with plant remains from a control block removed from the surrounding contempo…
