Refining chronology for surface collections
This paper uses new lithic research with well-dated stratified collections from the foothills of the Absaroka Mountains and adjacent Bighorn Basin to build a dichotomous key for chronologically classifying points in the northern Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) as Late Prehistoric (200–1,500 cal BP), Late Archaic (1,500–3,200 cal BP), Middle Archaic (3,200–5,700 cal BP), Early Archaic (5,700–8,500 cal BP) or Paleoindian (8,500–12,000 cal BP). …
Illuminating high elevation seasonal occupational duration using diversity in lithic raw materials and tool types in the greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, USA
Seasonality Studies and Paleoindian Subsistence Strategies
In the early 1970s, information on the seasonality of late Pleistocene/early Holocene bison bonebeds from the North American Plains began to be developed from studies of patterns of dental eruption and wear. By the 1980s, it became evident that the strategies involving seasonal use of bison by Paleoindian groups was not the same as that documented for later hunter-gatherer groups living on the shortgrass plains. This chapter outlines some of the …
The Faunal Assemblage and Bison Bonebed Taphonomy
Social-boundary defence, mountain people and obsidian in the Absaroka and Beartooth mountains of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, USA
The model of social-boundary defence predicts that forager groups that can assist each other during times of hardship will maintain close social relationships and permissive access to one another’s foraging range. On the other hand, amongst groups that are likely to experience disaster at the same time, social-boundary defence expects more rigid boundaries of land tenure and less social interaction. In other words, sharing of landscapes and resou…
Dating Stone Alignments by Luminescence
Stone alignments, including tipi rings and drive lines, are abundant on the northern Plains and adjacent Rocky Mountains, but they have been notoriously difficult to date. This paper applies luminescence dating to sediments directly underneath the rocks to estimate the age of placement of the rock. This is based on the assumption that before the rock was emplaced, turbation processes brought sufficient grains to the surface, where sunlight reset …

Multi-Scale and Nested-Intensity Sampling Techniques for Archaeological Survey
This paper discusses sampling techniques for archaeological survey that are directed toward evaluating the properties of surface artifact distributions. The sampling techniques we experimented with consist of a multi-scale sampling plot developed in plant ecology and the use of a nested-intensity survey design. We present results from the initial application of these methods. The sampling technique we borrowed from plant ecology is the Modified-W…

The Folsom (Paleoindian) Type Site
Research on the Folsom Paleoindian type site, involving renewed field investigations and an analysis of extant collections from the 1920s excavations, was undertaken between 1997 and 2000. The preliminary results of that research show that all excavations to date have been in the kill area, which took place in a small and relatively shallow tributary to the Pleistocene paleovalley of Wild Horse Arroyo as well as in the paleovalley itself. Prelimi…
Late Archaic Bison Hunters in Northern Colorado
Limited excavations at a Late Plains Archaic arroyo trap along the Cache la Poudre River near Windsor in northern Colorado have exposed the remains of an estimated 200 bison. The bonebed was uncovered during construction activities, which removed an estimated 4 m vf sediment from above tlie upper surface of the bone bed. Partial excavation of an 18.5 m2 cross-sectional portion of the arroyo has produced an assemblage of over 4000 bison bones. An …
Stable Isotope Dietary Analysis of Bison Bone Samples from the Hudson-Meng Bonebed
Reinvestigation of the Perry Ranch Plainview Bison Bonebed, Southwestern Oklahoma
Reinvestigation of the Perry Ranch site (34JK81) inJackson County, Oklahoma was conducted during the summers of 1989 and 1990. The goals were to relocate the site, place a permanent datum, evaluate the possibility of additional deposits, and to collect bone samples for chemical analysis and possible dating. In addition, the boneassemblagefrom the 1974 excavation was restudied to facilitate taphonomic analysis, a season of death estimate, and deta…
Faunal Analysis and Paleoindian Studies
Excavation at the Lipscomb site (Lipscomb County, Texas) in 1939 and 1946 uncovered a bison bonebed and associated Folsom artifacts. Although a preliminary report was published (Schultz 1943)and the site is widely cited in Paleoindian literature, only limited infonnation on the bonebed has previously been available for comparative analysis. Recent reexamination of the Lipscomb collections and additional field work have recorded basic data on skel…
Identification of Central Texas Edwards Chert at the Folsom and Lindenmeier Sites
Study of artifacts from the Folsom and Lindenmeier sites in the Denver Museum collection has documented the occurrence of Edwards chert from central Texas in both assemblages. The specimens were Identified wzth the azd of ultraviolet light, which produces a distinctive fluorescent color range from most Edwards chert samples. The presence of Flattop chalcedony in the Folsom assemblage is also documented. The implications of long distance occurrenc…

Seasonality of the Scottsbluff and Lipscomb Bison Bonebeds
The Scottsbluff and Lipscomb bison bonebeds initially were excavated in the 1930s. Although only brief, preliminary reports have been published on the two sites, they since have been cited widely in discussions of Paleoindian hunting practices on the western Plains. The Scottsbluff and Lipscomb sites both represent mass deaths associated with Cody Complex and Folsom artifacts respectively. Analysis of eruption and wear of the lower dentitions ind…

Long bone fragmentation and interpretation of faunal assemblages
Coming into the Country
Hunter-gatherer adaptations to long-term fluctuations in regional resource structure require mechanisms to cope with periodic subsistence stresses. Among documented groups, a common response to such stress is temporary movement into adjacent occupied areas-moving in with 'relatives' when things go wrong. However, in the case of early (ca. 12,000-10,000 B.P.) Paleoindian groups in the Americas, the availability of neighboring groups with a detaile…

Long bone fragmentation and interpretation of faunal assemblages
Zhoukoudian
On-site observations on the faunal collections remaining in Beijing from the prewar excavations of Zhoukoudian are reported. Assessments are made regarding the degree to which these collections represent both the faunal remains removed from the site. Comparative studies of the observed materials are then presented with the aim of assessing the relative roles of hominids and other denning animals. It is concluded that, given our current knowledge …
