Spatial analysis and neotaphonomy of two landscape bone assemblages in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania
Hunter-Gatherer Settlement Patterns in the South-Central Mojave Desert
This article briefly explores the archaeological signatures of Early through Late Holocene resource use and hunter-gatherer settlement patterns near Emerson Lake aboard the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center. Investigations of 156 localities along a linear belt of probable plant biomass modeled through Normalized Difference Vegetation Index assessments registered larger, richer, and more diverse assemblages containing significantly higher freq…
Geochemical and physical characterization of lithic raw materials in the Olduvai Basin, Tanzania
Late Pleistocene to Middle Holocene Archaeology in the Mojave Desert
This article introduces late Pleistocene through middle Holocene archaeology at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, California, illuminated by recent discoveries built on data gathered during 30+ years of cultural resource management efforts. We report on a Clovis biface and dating of terminal Pleistocene geological deposits
The Coffin Bison Kill (5JA7)
A growing body of research is geared towards bridging the blurred perspectives of archaeology and ethnohistory into cohesive statements about the pre- and post-contact history of the Northern Great Plains to elaborate upon the highly dynamic cultural interactions among and between the Native groups who occupied this region, and the myriad Euro-Americans that infiltrated and settled it. This paper seeks to add to the data pool available to these d…
Reconnaissance survey for Palaeolithic sites in the Debed River Valley, northern Armenia
The southern Caucasus is a critical region for those interested in Palaeolithic research because of its varied topography and location at the crossroads of Europe, Africa, and Asia. Modern Armenia sits at the heart of this area, but has until now played a small role in broader debates, largely because of its paucity of well-excavated and well-dated sites. To improve this situation, a survey was conducted for Palaeolithic sites along the valley of…
Palaeopathology in late Pleistocene and early Holocene Central Plains bison
A Further Assessment of Paleoindian Site-Use at Bonfire Shelter
In Byerly et al. (2005) we explored the hypothesis that the Paleoindian component at Bonfire Shelter was the result of a jump kill. Our efforts involved extensive mapping and GIS analysis, a re-examination of the Paleoindian-age bison assemblage, and consideration of the geomorphic history of the canyon in which the site is located. We concluded that the preponderance of evidence indicated the Paleoindian-age bison remains at Bonfire Shelter mark…
The Hot Tubb Folsom-Midland Site (41CR 10), Texas
The Hot Tubb site, located in the Monahans Dunes just off the southern High Plains of west Texas, has yielded Folsom and Midland projectile points, as well as badly fragmented and occasionally burned remains of Bison antiquus. Because these materials occur primarily on the surface of a deflation basin within an active sand dune, which also contains artifacts of later age, the Paleoindian component cannot be easily isolated, nor have attempts to d…
Historic Period Faunal Remains from Mustang Springs on the Southern High Plains of Texas
Excavations at Mustang Springs, Texas, a key freshwater source on the Southern High Plains, have produced archaeological components of various ages, dating back to Paleoindian times. This report details a Historic fauna from the site that contains both native wild (bison, coyote) and domesticated (cattle, horse, sheep) species. Radiocarbon dates on the fauna fall into three age groups: modern, 100 B.P, and 280 B.P The assemblage is resting on a s…
On Bonfire Shelter (Texas) as a Paleoindian Bison Jump
The Plainview/Folsom-aged bison Bonebed 2 at Bonfire Shelter, originally excavated in the 1960s, is argued to be the earliest North American bison jump (Dibble 1970; Dibble and Lorrain 1968). Yet, it is far older than all other known jumps, and well south of where the great majority of these sites are found. Dibble (1970) reasonably argued that its age and location was not compelling evidence against it being a bison jump. However, Binford (1978)…
