NEVADA ARCHAEOLOGIST VOLUME 18 2000 EDITOR'S CORNER As we close out this millennium (contrary to those who think that year 2000 is the beginning of the next millennium), petroglyphs and/or pictographs, commonly referred to as rock art, have become a subject of much public interest. Rock art as a scientific research domain has been subjected to new hypotheses and methodologies to address posed questions long neglected by the archaeological community. Along with increased public interest and scientific study comes the concern of the Native Americans, often resulting in a clash of cultures and/or philosophies. The issues that affect the resource, whether it is casual appreciation, scientific scrutiny, or protection of the sacred, should be of concern to all native-born Americans for such sites are part of our common cultural heritage. Featured within the covers of this Nevada Archaeological Association journal are six papers associated with some aspect of rock art research. The presented papers address only some of the many issues involved in understanding the resource. Although the articles specifically pertain to rock art found in Nevada, the information presented is also applicable to rock art sites found throughout the Great Basin. Each of the authors, whether avocational or professional, have extensive experience in this problem domain and are representative of only a handful of such researchers in Nevada. I wish to thank the authors of this issue who answered my call for papers; I hope that I have done them justice. More of a compiler than an editor, responsibility for mistakes found within this volume rest with me and not with the authors. And so with that, please enjoy this volume, support the Nevada Archaeological Association, and the protection of rock art sites wherever the may occur. William G.

Anthropology. and Geography presented on April 19. 2002. Title: Upper Deschutes River Basin Prehistory: A Preliminary Examination of Flaked Stone Tools and Debitage. The prehistory of Central Oregon is explored through the examination of six archaeological sites and two isolated finds from the Upper Deschutes River Basin. Inquiry focuses on the land use, mobility, technological organization, and raw material procurement of the aboriginal inhabitants of the area. Archaeological data presented here are augmented with ethnographic accounts to inform interpretations. Eight stone tool assemblages and three debitage assemblages are analyzed in order to characterize technological organization. Diagnostic projectile points recovered from the study sites indicate the area was seasonally utilized prior to the eruption of ancient Mt. Mazama (>6,845 BP), and continuing until the Historic period (c. 1850). While there is evidence of human occupation at the study sites dating to between >7,000- 150 B.P., the range of activities and intensity of occupation varied. Source characterization analysis indicates that eight different Central Oregon obsidian sources are represented at the sites. Results of the lithic analysis are presented in light of past environmental and social phenomena including volcanic eruptions, climate change, and human population movements. Chapter One introduces the key questions that directed the inquiry and defines the theoretical perspective used. Chapter Two describes the modem and ancient environmental context of study area.

    THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF BARREL SPRINGS SITE (NV-Pe-104), PERSHING COUNTY, NEVADA by. Richard A. Cowan with ANALYSIS OF FAUNAL REMAINS by David H. Thomas Archaeological Research Facility IDepartment of Anthropology University of California Berkeley, CA. 94720 1972 THE BARREL SPRING SITE (NV-Pe-104) AN OCCUPATION-QUARRY SITE IN NORTHWESTERN NEVADA Richard A. Cowan INTRODUCTION The Barrel Springs excavation and report is the result of the joint co-operation of the Nevada Archeological Survey and the University of Cali- fornia at Berkeley. Discovered by the Howard Mitchells, a family of amateur archeologists, in the spring of 1966, site NV-Pe-104 was test pitted by C. William Clewlow and Richard A. Cowan in July, 1966, as part of a program of archeological reconnaissance in the Black Rock Desert for the University of California at Berkeley. For seven weeks in June and July, 1967, Cowan conducted extensive excavations at Barrel Springs for the Nevada Archeologi- cal Survey. This paper is the report of both seasons' work. Many people have aided in the excavation of site NV-Pe-104 and the preparation of this report. At Barrel Springs, the Ben Constant family, our landlords for both the site and our camp, were helpful and co-operative in every possible way, and the Howard Mitchells, the other Barrel Springs family, were excellent neighbors. Thanks are also due to Ethel Hesterlee for setting up camp for both field parties, to Joan Moll for cooking in 1967, to Eldridge Nash for surveying both in 1966 and 1967, and to Hank Chipman for running the bulldozer in 1967.

  • Upper Deschutes River Basin Prehistory: a Preliminary Examination of Flaked Stone Tools and Debitage
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Michael W. Taggart for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Anthropology, Anthropology, and Geography presented on April 19, 2002. Title: Upper Deschutes River Basin Prehistory: A Preliminary Examination of Flaked Stone Tools and Debitage. Redacted for Privacy The prehistory of Central Oregon is explored through the examination of six archaeological sites and two isolated finds from the Upper Deschutes River Basin. Inquiry focuses on the land use, mobility, technological organization, and raw material procurement of the aboriginal inhabitants of the area. Archaeological data presented here are augmented with ethnographic accounts to inform interpretations. Eight stone tool assemblages and three debitage assemblages are analyzed in order to characterize technological organization. Diagnostic projectile points recovered from the study sites indicate the area was seasonally utilized prior to the eruption of ancient Mt. Mazama(>6,845BP), and continuing until the Historic period (c. 1850).While there is evidence of human occupation at the study sites dating to between >7,000150 B.P., the range of activities and intensity of occupation varied. Source characterization analysis indicates that eight different Central Oregon obsidian sources are represented at the sites. Results of the lithic analysis are presented in light of past environmental and social phenomena including volcanic eruptions, climate change, and human population movements. Chapter One introduces the key questions that directed the inquiry and defines the theoretical perspective used. Chapter Two describes the modem and ancient environmental context of study area. Topics of discussion include physiography, fauna, vegetation, geology, and climate. Chapter Three introduces the aboriginal inhabitants of the Upper Deschutes River Basin and summarizes past archeological investigations in the area.

Calloway A mesa within the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest (Bridgeport Ranger District) named Tunna’ Nosi’ Kaiva’ Gwaa is rich with features associated with both pronghorn and pine nut procurement. It is inferred that prehistoric use of the area spans at least 7000 years and several sites are representative of the protohistoric era. This thesis identifies research and cultural themes incorporated into a management plan for Tunna’ Nosi’ Kaiva’ Gwaa. The themes underpinning the management plan set the framework for future studies including eligibility evaluation. It is recommended that Tunna’ Nosi’ Kaiva’ Gwaa be nominated as a District on the National Register of Historic Places, ensuring its preservation and protection as mandated by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.

Initial thought centered on the abandonment of areas due to climatic fluctuations that prompted population depression. Subsequently, however, the focus turned to the role of different settlement shifts during the middle Holocene and how these changes generated a more ephemeral archaeological record in response to short-term occupation and high mobility.
