The Appearance of Contracting Stem Dart Points in the Western United States, Diffusion or Migration
Contracting stem dart points are assigned to various named types and are considered Archaic temporal markers, but their dating and geographic distribution remain somewhat variable and uncertain. Bayesian chronological modeling indicates contracting stem dart points were in use in the Colorado Plateau and Great Basin from 2210 cal BC through 710 cal BC. Comparative dating indicates contracting stem dart points did not arrive with farmers from Mexi…
Maize Dependence among the Sevier Puebloans
Some archaeologists have argued that the Formative-era villagers of the Sevier River region in the eastern Great Basin were primarily foragers whose economy was dependent upon marsh resources, especially cattails. This paper compiles multiple lines of evidence from Backhoe Village and other Sevier villages to show that subsistence was based on maize agriculture, not foraging for wild resources
Late Archaic Totemism in the Greater American Southwest
Split-twig figurines, willow branches bent to resemble miniature animals and dating between 2900 B.C. and 1250 B.C., have been found at 30 Late Archaic period archaeological sites in the Greater American Southwest. Two different and geographically distinct construction styles, Grand Canyon and Green River, have been identified for split-twig figurines. Application of ethnographic analogy to the current split-twig figurine archaeological record su…
Early Archaic Clay Figurines from Cowboy and Walters Caves in Southeastern Utah
Excavations at Cowboy and Walters caves in southeastern Utah in the mid-1970s uncovered an assemblage of unfired clay artifacts unlike any previously described types. Analysis of these clay artifacts in 1994 demonstrated that some of them were manufactured during the Early Archaic period. The unfired clay figurines from the Early Archaic deposits at these sites have been assigned to a new type called Horseshoe Shouldered figurines. These unfired …
Radiocarbon Dates on the All American Man Pictograph
Controversy has surrounded the All American Man pictograph in southeast Utah since its discovery in the 1950s. Its coloration, similar to the flag of the United States of America, has led to questions regarding its authenticity. We have obtained two radiocarbon values on a single sample comprised of pigmented sandstone fragments from one small area of this pictograph. They suggest the pictograph dates to the fourteenth century and indicate that i…
