The Cross Creek Site (CA-SLO-1797) and Its Implications for New World Colonization
Recent excavations at the Cross Creek site (CA-SLO-1797) on the central coast of California revealed a stratigraphically discrete midden component dating between ca. 8350 and 7700 cal B.C., making it the oldest mainland shell midden on the west coast of North America. A large recovery volume revealed an assemblage dominated by grinding implements (handstones and milling slabs) and crude core and flake tools typical of California's Milling Stone h…
Formation Processes of the Archaeobotanical Record
Early Corn Remains from Tumamoc Hill, Southern Arizona
The tandem accelerator mass spectrometer provided critical dating of corn remains in Archaic levels of juxtaposed Archaic and Hohokam occupations on Tumamoc Hill in Tucson, Arizona. This new radiometric technology confirmed an Archaic placement suggested by stratigraphy and artifact distributions. The small sample of intact remains resembles other directly-dated early corn in the Southwest and reinforces an interpretation of preceramic cultivator…
Economic plant species associated with prehistoric agriculture in the Maya lowlands
Ecology and Economy of a Formative Maya Site at Cuello, Belize
The early lowland Maya site of Cuello, Belize, has a ceramic and stratigraphic sequence extending back through the Early Formative, which radiocarbon dating indicates begins by at least 2000 b.c./2500 B.C. The environmental archaeology program of the Cuello Project has identified a number of local econiches, and flotation of carbonized plant remains has documented the exploitation of these throughout the site sequence.The ubiquitous presence of m…
Rethinking Ramón
A recent identification of ramon in Miranda's sixteenth-century relacion of Alta Verapaz more likely describes achiote. There is very little archaeological evidence to suggest that ramon was more than a famine food in ancient Maya times
From Parking Lots to Museum Basements
The St. Mary's site (AZ AA: 16:26) has almost been destroyed by construction and inundated by modem refuse. It has long been a favorite haunt for local pothunters, but very little systematic archaeological work was ever conducted there. Nevertheless, several small collections of maize and tepary beans were preserved in the collections of the Arizona State Museum. These maize kernels come from both flour and flint varieties. Although the St. Mary'…
