Upland desert late pre-classic Hohokam adaptations in the middle Gila: New data from Florence Military Reservation, Arizona
Late pre-Classic Hohokam (A.D. 750–1150) upland desert adaptations of the middle Gila River Valley in southern Arizona are still rather poorly understood. Current site and feature distribution data from Florence Military Reservation indicate that late pre-Classic groups used the upland or bajada zone in a varied and complex manner. First, a variety of agricultural technology was employed, including floodwater farming, dry farming, and to a lesser…
Isolated But Not Alone: The Utility of Hohokam Isolated Occurrences from Florence Military Reservation, Middle Gila River Valley, Arizona
The nature of Hohokam-related (A.D. 300-1450) isolated occurrences is still poorly understood in the middle Gila River Valley of southern Arizona. In this study, isolated occurrence data from Florence Military Reservation is classified to discern the range of cultural activities across different topographic settings in lower-lying terrace and more elevated upland, or bajada zones. While terrace-based isolated occurrences reflect a focus upon lith…
Early Woodland Mortuary Patterns in the Northeastern United States
Early Woodland (3200-1800 B.P.) mortuary patterns are poorly understood in the Northeastern United States. This current study is designed to evaluate selected mortuary sites in terms of feature categories, grave good diversity, and burial disposal types. The Early Woodland was a period of rapid climatic change which coincided with possible population decreases, settlement pattern shifts, and highly ritualized mortuary behavior. Mortuary-related c…
Late Preclassic Hohokam Land Use in the Middle Gila River Valley: A View from Florence Military Installation and Adjacent Areas
Late pre-Classic (A.D. 750-1150) Hohokam land use of the middle Gila River Valley in southern Arizona is still poorly understood. Current site distribution data from Florence Military Reservation and adjacent areas indicate that unlike settlement and subsistence behavior existed in lowland and upland, or bajada zones. Early village formation and irrigation technology appear to have first developed in the lowlands, along the Gila River during the …
Late Archaic Modes of Broad-Bladed Biface Transmission across Northeastern North America: A Regional Approach
Late/Terminal Archaic (4500-2500 B.P.) modes of broad-bladed biface transmission across Northeastern North America are still rather poorly understood. This present study attempts to test a series of diffusion- and migration-based theories against archaeological data collected from six major river drainages across the Atlantic seaboard, including the Savannah, James, Susquehanna, Delaware, Connecticut, and Penobscot. Preliminary results indicate t…
Late/Terminal Archaic Mortuary Practices in the Northeastern United States
Late/Terminal Archaic (4000-2500 B.P.) mortuary practices are poorly understood in the Northeastern United States. This current study is designed to evaluate selected mortuary sites in terms of feature categories, grave good diversity, burial types, and associated non-human faunal and botanical remains. The Late/Terminal Archaic was a period of rapid climatic change which coincided with dramatic population increases, resource intensification, set…
An Ideological Derivative toward the Origins of Territoriality and Early Sedentism in the Northeastern United States
Early/Middle Archaic (10,000-6000 B.P.) mortuary practices are very poorly understood in the Northeastern United States. Traditionally, the Late Archaic has been considered a period of dramatic population rises, which coincided with settlement system shifts, increased cultural complexity, and highly ritualized burial ceremonialism. However, recent data indicate that increasingly complex mortuary patterns had already emerged by the Early/Middle Ar…
Middle/Late Archaic Occupations on the Southern Edge of the Edwards Plateau, Camp Bullis, Texas
Middle/Late Archaic (6,000-1,200 B.P.) land use of south-central Texas is poorly understood. Current data indicate that aboriginal populations exhibited a complex series of seasonal movements, based upon seasonal availability of resources. Site distributions produce a dual, or two-level settlement pattern, in which generalized base camps were situated along low terraces and floodplains proximate to Salado Creek, where populations exploited a vari…
Experimental Burned Rock Studies on the Edwards Plateau: A View from Camp Bullis, Texas
This article presents an experimental study concerning the use of thermally altered stone, commonly referred to as fire-cracked, or burned rock. A series of controlled cooking experiments were initiated as limestone cobbles were placed within a prepared earth-oven and re-heated; this type of earth-oven is similar to those found within prehistoric burned rock mounds on the Edwards Plateau of central Texas. Twelve experiments were conducted in this…
The Utility of Prehistoric Predictive Models for Interior Riverine Zones in the Northeast: A View from Fort Dix, New Jersey
In 2004, a planning level (Phase I) survey was completed at the Fort Dix Military Installation, New Jersey. A stratified research methodology was initially employed by placing standardized sampling units into zones of high and low sensitivity. Areas of high and low archaeological sensitivity consisted of testable areas within and beyond 500 feet of stream margins and wetlands, respectively. Although the majority of field tests represented negativ…
Late Archaic Settlement Patterns of the Inner Coastal Plain of New Jersey
Late Archaic (4000-1000 B.C.) settlement patterns in the State of New Jersey are poorly understood in comparison with other parts of the Northeastern United States. This study is designed to evaluate current settlement pattern data, using logistical models of land use, against available archaeological data. Current data indicate that Late Archaic populations exhibited a complex series of seasonal movements, based upon seasonal availability of res…
Late Woodland Settlement Patterns of New Jersey
Late Woodland settlement patterns in the State of New Jersey are poorly understood in comparison with other parts of the Middle Atlantic region. This study is designed to evaluate current settlement pattern data using logistical models of land use against available historical and archaeological data. Current data indicate that at least two major socioeconomic systems coexisted during late prehistory, either by exploiting different resource zones …
Experimental Uses of Shell Tools: A Preliminary Study
This article presents a preliminary study concerning the functional uses of Northern Quahog (Mercenaria mercenaria), or hard-shelled clam tools. A series of experiments were conducted with tools manufactured from shell. These were worked on specific materials using a cutting motion for different durations of use. The artifacts were then analyzed for observable usewear characteristics for comparative purposes
The Re-Use of Thermally Altered Stone
This article presents an experimental study concerning the uses of thermally altered stone, commonly referred to as fire-cracked rock. A series of experiments were conducted as granitic cobbles contained within hearth areas were re-used. These cobble assemblages were then stone-boiled and subsequently analyzed for thermal alteration characteristics such as color change, cracking, and spalling, for comparative purposes. Quantitative analyses were …
