Dirty Evidence
Domestic structures are central to understanding Mississippian social dynamics in eastern North America. This study examines the depositional history of an infilled semi-subterranean house basin at the Angel Mounds site in southern Indiana. Distinctive microscopic coarse anthropogenic aggregates in the house midden were assessed through three hypotheses: daub, animal dung, or human excrement. A multi-method approach, including micromorphology, sc…
Seek, and Ye Shall Find
Singapore, Michigan, was a small nineteenth-century lumber town situated on the north bank of the Kalamazoo River near its outlet to Lake Michigan. Nestled within a vegetated coastal dune field, Singapore enjoyed strong economic success in the mid-nineteenth century but was entirely abandoned by the turn of the twentieth century. Prevailing historical legend suggests that Singapore's dramatic downfall resulted from excessive clear-cutting of surr…

The Road Not Taken
To evaluate a model of the travel-route selection process for upper Ohio Valley Paleoindian foragers (13,500-11,400 cal BP), this study investigates archaeological data through the theoretical framework of landscape learning and risk-sensitive analysis. Following initial trail placement adjacent to a highly visible escarpment landform, Paleoindians adopted a risk-averse strategy to minimize travel outcome variability when wayfaring between Sandy …

Geoarchaeological Investigations in Mesoamerica Move into the 21st Century
Over the past thirty years, geoarchaeology has moved from the fringe to mainstream status within Mesoamerican archaeological investigations. This review focuses on works published since the year 2000. Five themes are identified as central to recent studies: (1) the correlation of environmental change and cultural history; (2) anthropogenic environmental impacts; (3) ancient land cover, land use, and diet; (4) archaeological prospection; and (5) p…

New Archaeobotanical and Feature-Use Data from Post-A.D. 1550 Contexts at the Madisonville Site, Ohio
In 2004-2005, salvage excavations at the Madisonville Village and Cemetery Site, a Late Fort Ancient settlement in southwestern Ohio, provided an opportunity to gather new information concerning post-A.D. 1550 occupation at the site. This article documents the use histories of excavated features and their resultant archaeobotanical remains. Results indicate that Madisonville features have incredibly complex formation histories which reflect conti…
Open-Air “Adena” Paired-Post Ritual Features in the Middle Ohio Valley
Circular paired-post structures have been recognized as a quintessential trait of the “Adena” concept. Although once thought restricted to ritual contexts beneath burial mounds, work over the last 30 years has identified several open-air structures in contexts apart from burial mounds or ditches. Uncluttered by overlapping features, open-air examples present a unique opportunity to document the initial roles played by these features. Currently, n…
Early Woodland Plain-Surface Pottery from the Mid-Ohio Valley
Recent cultural resource management investigations at the Buckeye Ordnance #2 site in Lawrence County, Ohio, and the M.B. Green site in Boone County, Kentucky, have afforded an opportunity for detailed study of two directly dated Early Woodland ceramic assemblages from the Mid-Ohio Valley. Each assemblage represents plain-surfaced wares that were manufactured between 600 and 350 B.C. Because raw data for early ceramics are essential for the conti…
Economic and Land-Use Implications of Prehistoric Fire-Cracked-Rock Piles, Northern Arizona
Intensive archaeological survey of 14.5 sq km of the Upper Basin, an area located near the Grand Canyon's eastern South Rim in northern Arizona, has discovered 126 fire-cracked-rock piles that are surrounded by artifact scatters of varying size and assemblage composition. Because these phenomena are unprecedented in upland conifer ecosystems of the American Southwest, several hypotheses are explored regarding their formation histories. Analyses o…

Evidence for a Late Fort Ancient Fall/Winter Occupation in Southwestern Ohio
The Driving Range Site (33Ha586) represents a multicomponent occupation located in southwestern Ohio on a low terrace overlooking the Little Miami River floodplain. This article focuses on the Late Fort Ancient occupation (post-AD 1400) and has three purposes: 1) to provide a detailed descriptive account of the artifact assemblage and site structure; 2) to present evidence that the site represents the remains of a late fall through early winter o…
