Chronostratigraphy of upper James river floodplain sediments
Test excavations have been conducted at several dozen prehistoric archaeological sites on the James River floodplain in southeastern North Dakota. Radiocarbon dates and other evidence from these tested artifact deposits indicate that floodplain sedimentary contexts above today's river level are entirely Late Holocene in age. Middle and Early Holocene sediments are more deeply buried. Cultural strata from Late Plains Archaic, Early Plains Woodland…
An Early Plains Woodland Structure in the Northeastern Plains
The Naze site in southeastern Norlh Dakota contains a layer of Early Plains Woodland remains radiocarbon dated within the 550 to 410 B.C. time range. Excavation of a 30 m2 area of that layer encountered burned daub, burned earth, charred ost fragments, post molds, charcoal smears, and artifacts from a residential settlement. The posts are interpreted as having been the central supports for a house. Naze is the first Early Woodland site documented…
Knife River Flint in the Northeastern Plains
Knife River Flint (KRF) is a high quality flintknapping material with the primary source area in west-central North Dakota. The densest flint deposits, largest pieces, and highest quality materials are concentrated in a relatively small area where prehistoric surface mining for KRF took place throughout the Holocene. This flint was widely exchanged at certain times in prehistory. Its occurrence is often used to assess direction and extent of grou…
Recent Excavations at Midipadi Butte
An archaeological data recovery program was conducted at 32DU2, the Midipadi Butte site, in eastern Dunn County, North Dakota, for the Omaha District, Corps of Engineers. At least two distinct cultural components are represented in the material recovered. A Besant complex, Woodland tradition component (ca. A.D. 1-800) is suggested on the basis of a Besant projectile point, cordroughened pottery, and previous testing data. The most visible and wel…
Thermally Altered Siliceous Stone from Prehistoric Contexts
Recent studies have demonstrated that the flaking characteristics of certain siliceous stone materials are enhanced by carefully controlled annealing and that intentional annealing was indeed practiced by prehistoric Native Americans. A note of caution is extended here to investigators who might extend evidence for thermally altered siliceous stone from a site to interpretations that intentional annealing was practiced at the site. The use of fir…
