A noter qu'une forte concentration de mica y a ete retrouvee ainsi que des restes botaniques, fauniques, des amas coquilliers accompagnant la sepulture secondaire de deux individus amerindiens (Fort Ancient): ces incinerations remaniees avec grande fragmentation des restes osseux restants suggerent une ritualisat…
Micromorphology of Cotiga Mound, West Virginia
Micromorphology samples from Cotiga Mound (ca. 2100 yr B.P.) reveal distinct microstructures associated with mound construction and post‐construction pedogenesis of the mound materials. The interface between layers of basketloads displays sharp, irregular contacts with little to no evidence of pedoturbation, suggesting rapid construction. Evidence of clay and iron translocation, along with well‐preserved charcoal fragments containing identifiable…
Guidelines for analysis and description of soil and regolith thin sections
Holocene colluvial soils and geoarchaeology in the unglaciated Appalachian Plateau
Buried and sometimes stratified prehistoric sites occur in upland landscapes of the Unglaciated Appalachian Plateau province, although archaeologists have traditionally believed that such settings contain only near surface cultural deposits. The age of colluvial slopes and the characteristics of associated soils vary considerably from north to south within the province, and with the size and order of the valley. We have identified numerous prehis…
Complex pedostratigraphy of a terrace fragipan at the Memorial Park site, central Pennsylvania
A fragipan (Bxb horizon) encountered during the excavation of a multicomponent archaeological site buried on an alluvial terrace in central Pennsylvania was evaluated to determine the degree of development, pedostratigraphy, and age. Based on the horizon thickness, and the degree of development of adjacent horizons, we believe that the fragipan was weakly developed. Two to three buried A horizons (Ab) occurred within the Bxb, thus, the fragipan f…
Geomorphic setting and stratigraphy of Cotiga Mound, Mingo County, West Virginia
Cotiga Mound, a 2100-year-old Woodland burial mound, was constructed on a mid-Holocene terrace along the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy River. The terrace is the only stable, level landscape in the area. The intact nature of the terrace soil horizons indicated that little if any of the mound materials were taken from the terrace surface in the immediate vicinity of the mound. The mound was constructed of silty material and contained basket-loading mac…
