  • Red River Valley Water Supply Project Class I Cultural Resources Inventory and Assessment, Eastern North Dakota and Nortwestern Minnesota
    RED RIVER VALLEY WATER SUPPLY PROJECT CLASS I CULTURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY AND ASSESSMENT, EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA AND NORTWESTERN MINNESOTA Michael A. Jackson, Dennis L. Toom, and Cynthia Kordecki December 2006 ABSTRACT In 2004-2006, personnel from Anthropology Research, Department of Anthropology, University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, conducted a Class I inventory (file search) for the Red River Valley Water Supply Project (RRVWSP). This work was carried out in cooperation with the USDI Bureau of Reclamation, Dakotas Area Office, Bismarck, ND. The file search dealt with hundreds of cultural resource sites across much of eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. Archeological sites, architectural sites, site leads, and isolated finds were examined for 14 North Dakota counties and four Minnesota counties. Five different action alternatives were investigated to determine the number and types of previously recorded cultural resources located within each. Each alternative was ranked in terms of its potential to cause impacts to cultural resources, both known and (presently) unknown. Analysis indicated that the Red River Basin Alternative (#3) has the largest potential for cultural resource site impacts. From a least-impact cultural resources perspective, the other four alternatives represent the best, least-impact options for construction of the RRVWSP. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page ABSTRACT ....................................................................................................................................................ii

The Proposed Development Area (PDA) is located within Lot 14 Concession 1, Horton Township (Geo.), Town of Renfrew, County of Renfrew, Ontario. The PDA is approximately 15 ha and is bounded on the southwest by an old rail bed, to the southeast and northeast by the backyards of houses along Aberdeen Street, Mason Avenue and McAndrew Ave, and to the northwest an agricultural field. The Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment included consultation with local heritage organizations, reviews of aerial imagery, archaeological potential maps, national topographic maps, physiographic maps and early maps of the area. In addition, information regarding known archaeological sites in the vicinity, land grants, and historical reference books for the PDA was reviewed. A site visit to assess archaeological potential was conducted November 29, 2017. Based upon the review of background material and the site visit, there are areas with and without potential for the presence of archaeological resources within the PDA.

  • An Assessment of the Impact of Resharpening on Paleoindian Projectile Point Blade Shape Using Geometric Morphometric Techniques
    Chapter 11 An Assessment of the Impact of Resharpening on Paleoindian Projectile Point Blade Shape Using Geometric Morphometric Techniques Briggs Buchanan and Mark Collard Abstract Paleoindian archaeologists have long recognized that resharpening has the potential to affect the shape of projectile points. So far, however, the impact of resharpening on the distinctiveness of the blades of Paleoindian projectile points has not been investigated quantitatively. With this in mind, we used geometric morphometric techniques to compare the blades of Clovis, Folsom, and Plainview projectile points from the Southern Plains of North America. We evaluated two hypotheses. The first was that blade shape distinguishes the three types. We found that blade shape distinguished Clovis points from both Folsom and Plainview points, but did not distinguish Folsom points from Plainview points. The second hypothesis we tested was that resharpening eliminates blade shape differences among the types. To test this hypothesis, we used size as a proxy for resharpening. The results of this analysis were similar to those obtained in the first analysis. Thus, our study suggests that, contrary to what is often assumed, resharpening does not automatically undermine the use of blade shape in Paleoindian projectile point typologies. Introduction The assignment of projectile points to types is critical for research on the Paleoindian period in North America. Paleoindian specialists rely on projectile point typology to situate assemblages in time when directly dateable material is not recovered. Furthermore, because Paleoindian points are found in such high numbers in mixed or isolated surface contexts, many studies concerning changes in technology and land use have relied on typed specimens (e.g., Anderson and Faught 2000).
