The Siren Site and the Long Transition from Archaic to Late Prehistoric Lifeways on the Eastern Edwards Plateau of Central Texas
On behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA) conducted testing and data recovery investigations at the Siren site (41WM1126), a prehistoric multi-component site in the Interstate Highway 35 right-of-way along the South Fork of the San Gabriel River in Williamson County, Texas. The work was done to fulfill TxDOT’s compliance obligations under the National Historic Preservation Act and the Antiq…
Taphonomy and Fish Bones from an Enslaved African American Context at Poplar Forest, Virginia, USA
Se identifican restos faunísticos en el subsuelo de una fosa en Poplar Forest, Virginia, EE.UU. Un programa de recuperación exhaustivo ha permitido recuperar más de 35,000 huesos y dientes, en su mayoría alterados, en apenas un tercio de metro cúbico de relleno. Los restos de pescado, procedentes de la época de esclavitud previa a la Guerra Civil Americana, fueron analizados con especial énfasis en los aspectos tafonómicos. Los depósitos de relle…

African slave craftsmen and single-hole bone discs from Brimstone Hill, St Kitts, West Indies
Recent excavations in African slave contexts at Brimstone Hill, St Kitts, West Indies have produced well preserved animal bones. These faunal remains suggest that African slaves were provisioned with imported salt beef and pork as well as locally raised sheep and goats. Slave craftsmen appear to have manufactured numerous single-hole bone discs that probably served as cores for cloth covered buttons. Bones from sea turtle carapaces and cattle rib…

Hunter‐gatherers in the nashville basin
Results of intensive archaeological surveys conducted within two environmentally contrastive settings in the Nashville Basin of Tennessee demonstrate that prehistoric human activity was much more extensive in the inner Basin where the Duck River floodplain was flanked by patchy upland vegetation relative to the outer Basin where upland vegetation was more homogeneous. Vertebrate remains from caves and rockshelters show that the inner Basin suppor…
Contextual and Nutritional Analysis of Freshwater Gastropods from Middle Archaic Deposits at the Hayes Site, Middle Tennessee
The role of shellfish in the diet of hunter-gatherers in North America is poorly understood. Specifically, the interpretation of freshwater gastropods from archaeological sites as food remains has been a subject of professional debate. Data from the Hayes site (40ML139), a stratified Archaic midden on the Duck River in Tennessee, suggest that freshwater gastropods were procured in considerable quantities and utilized as a food resource. Evidence …
Ancient Inborn Facial Clefts and NonodontogeniC Fissural Cysts
Unusual, apparently congenital facial fusion defects in six ancient skulls from the Upper Missouri River Basin and southeastern United States are presented and discussed. The similarity between nonodontogenic fissural defects and overt and occult lip and palate clefting is explored. Some specimens in other collections now labeled “dental abscess” or “dental tumor” may represent these anomalies. Because of the similarity in embryology and anatomy,…
Post-glacial environmental change and hunting-gathering societies of the southern Prairie Peninsula
The Holocene Naiad Record at Rodgers Shelter in the Western Ozark Highland of Missouri
Freshwater mussels from Rodgers Shelter in the western Ozark Highland of Missouri have been identified and their place in the prehistoric subsistence economy assessed. Recent collections indicate that the present day naiad populations in the lower Pomme de Terre River are as diverse, if not more diverse, than prehistoric populations as reflected in the archaeological assemblage. When present day populations are used as an approximation of prehist…
Pollen Preservation and Archaeology in Eastern North America
The recovery of pollen from archaeological sites in Eastern North A merica has not been as successful as it has been in the western part of the continent. The depositional environment of eastern archaeological sites is generally unfavorable for pollen preservation and archaeologists have failed to search out special situations in which pollen may be preserved. At the Rhoads site, a Proto-Historic Indian village in central Illinois, abundant polle…
Freshwater Mussels as a Prehistoric Food Resource
The explication of prehistoric subsistence economies has been of increasing interest to archaeologists. This emphasis is reflected, in part, by the considerable attention afforded faunal analyses in the recent archaeological literature. However, little effort has been made toward developing methods that permit meaningful comparisons of food resources at the interspecies level. Data pertinent to the calculation of both quantitative and qualitative…
