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.

    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.
