DETERMINATION OF SITE FUNCTIONALITY AND SUBSISTENCE PATTERNS AT THE BRAY ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE (45PI1276) IN EDGEWOOD, WASHINGTON. ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty Central Washington University ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Resource Management ____________________________________ by David Sheldon May 2015 137 CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Graduate Studies We hereby approve the thesis of David Sheldon Candidate for the degree of Master of Science APPROVED FOR THE GRADUATE FACULTY ______________ __________________________________________ Dr. Steven Hackenberger, Committee Chair ______________ __________________________________________ Dr. Patrick McCutcheon ______________ __________________________________________ Dr. James Chatters ______________ __________________________________________ Dean of Graduate Studies 137 ABSTRACT DETERMINATION OF SITE FUNCTIONALITY AND SUBSISTENCE PATTERNS AT THE BRAY ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE (45PI1276) IN EDGEWOOD, WASHINGTON by David Sheldon May 2015 Resource intensification, or the logistical approach to the mass capture and extension of food resources through storage, is first evident for marine resources of the Northwest Coast during the Locarno Beach Phase (LBP) (ca. 3,500 BP to ca. 2,400 BP). Plant resource intensification is evident by 4,000 BP within the interior of the Pacific Northwest, but until recently there has been little evidence to support early intensification of plant use in the Puget Sound during the LBP. Test excavations conducted as part of a damage assessment of the Bray Site indicated that the site may contain the earliest known evidence for intensive plant processing in the lower Puget Sound (ca. 3,000 BP). This finding is supported by analyses of materials previously recovered from the Bray Site by an amateur archaeologist in the 1990's. Analyses are conducted for five assemblage dimensions: pit features, fire- modified rock (FMR), macrobotanical, lithic tools, and lithic debitage. The Bray Site results are compared to evidence for plant resource intensification from sites in the 137 Willamette Valley of western Oregon and the Calispell Valley of northeastern Washington. These comparisons show that Bray Site assemblage dimensions fall within the range of variation observed for other sites with evidence for plant intensification. Thus, the Bray Site does indeed contain the earliest documented evidence of plant resource intensification in the Puget Sound (ca. 3,000 BP). 137 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to my committee chair, Dr. Steven Hackenberger and committee members Dr. Patrick McCutcheon and Dr. James Chatters for their guidance and feedback through this research. Bruce Gustafson provided me with valuable input on his original excavation notes and feature interpretations. Marc Fairbanks and Sean Stcherbinine generously donated their time to create several of the maps and figures used in this thesis. James Brown, Sydney Hanson, and Patrick Rennacker assisted greatly in the preparation of macrobotanical samples for analysis. I would also like to thank coworkers, friends, and family who nudged me into graduate school and for their support and pep talks as I navigated through it. It would not have been possible without them. 137 TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I INTRODUCTION ...................................................................................................1 Problem .................................................................................................................1 Purpose ..................................................................................................................5 Significance...........................................................................................................6 II STUDY AREA ........................................................................................................8 Physical Setting .....................................................................................................8 Culture and History .............................................................................................12 III LITERATURE REVIEW ......................................................................................15 Bray Site Background .........................................................................................15 Theoretical Framework .......................................................................................23 Pacific Northwest Coast Regional Chronology ..................................................33 Interregional Comparisons of Specialized Plant Processing Sites ......................36 Error!

The Bray Site can be compared on these criteria: 1. FMR densities are comparable at camas processing sites compared to residential sites, however non-feature FMR from camas sites are usually carbon stained whereas FMR from residential sites usually are not. 2. The overall density of non-feature tools, cores, and debitage at camas processing sites are lower than at residential sites. 3. Despite the low density of stone tools at camas processing sites, a wide variety of tool types are observed, including those indicative of hunting related activities. 137 4. Groundstone tools, namely pestles, are among the least common tools identified at camas processing sites. 5. Large expedient tools (i.e. cobble and flake tools, FMR tools, and tabular knives) composed of coarse-grained materials (e.g. SGR) are proportionately more common at camas processing sites than at residential sites. Feature Comparison In order to compare the Bray Site feature assemblage to those of plant processing site types it was necessary to identify the variation of feature assemblages at plant processing sites through an extensive literature review.

Akademisk avhandling, som för avläggande av filosofie doktors­ examen vid universitetet i Umeå kommer att offentligt för­ svaras i hörsal F, Humanisthuset, Umeå universitet, fredagen den 31 januari 1992 klockan 10.00. Abstract The thesis raises questions concerning prehistoric conditions in a high mountain region in central Scandinavia; it focuses on the human use of stone and on hunting principally of reindeer. An analysis of how the stone material was utilized and an approach to how large mammals were hunt­ ed result in a synthesis describing one interpretation of how the vast landscape of a region in the central Scandinavian high mountains was used. With this major aim as a base questions were posed concerning the human use of stone resources and possible changes in this use. Preconditions for the occurrence of large mammals as game animals and for hunting are also highlighted. A general perspective is the long time period over which possible changes in the use of stone and hunting of big game, encompassing the Late Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age and to a certain extent the Early Iron Age. Considering the manufacture of flaked stone tools, debitage in the form of flakes from a dwelling, constitute the base where procurement and technology are essential.

  • Prehistoric Lithic Technology} Workshops} and Chipping Stations in the Philippines
    Prehistoric Lithic Technology} Workshops} and Chipping Stations in the Philippines D. KYLE LATINIS THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS represent an important area for research of problems concerning prehistoric archaeology in Southeast Asia. These insular areas, located east of the biogeographic boundary known as Huxley's line, include a variety of tropical environments. These islands remained detached from the continental portion of Southeast Asia throughout the Pleistocene and Holocene. Archaeolog­ ical research has documented human occupation and adaptation from at least the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene within these islands. Unfortunately, relatively little intensive prehistoric archaeological research has been undertaken in the Philippines compared to some areas in mainland South­ east Asia, Oceania, and Australia. Warren Peterson's dissertation (1974) focused on a series of sites in northern Luzon and represents one of the foundation stud­ ies in the Philippines for modern archaeology. Peterson's work has often been cited and his conclusions used for the development of models concerning prehis­ tory in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Peterson's research was conducted during a period when behavioral reconstruc­ tions from site assemblage analyses were prominent in archaeological research. Specifically, Peterson attempted behavioral reconstruction from the analysis of stone tools from the Busibus/Pintu site in northern Luzon, Philippines. A reanal­ ysis of the entire Busibus/Pintu lithic assemblage has revealed problems with Peterson's initial analysis and interpretation of this site-problems that will be addressed in this paper. Lithic technology, stone tool manufacture, and selection and reduction strategies will also be explored. Finally, new interpretations of the nature of the lithic assemblage and site activities at Busibus/Pintu rock shelter will be provided.

    CHAPTER 1 Toolstone Geography and the Larger Lithic Landscape Terry L. Ozbun Archaeological Investigations Northwest, Inc. ([email protected]) What Is Toolstone Geography? “Toolstone” is a combination of two terms that Jackson 1984). One aspect of geography that was form a compound word referring to lithic materials particularly import for ancient economies was the used for technological purposes – quite literally, raw material sources for stone tool industries. The stone for making into tools. Since time immemorial Pacific Northwest contains abundant geological ancient people of the Pacific Northwest made and deposits of lithic materials suitable for making used stone tools as critical components of stone tools. However, these geological deposits of technology, economy and culture. These ranged toolstones are not uniformly distributed across the from simple hand-held lithic flake tools (Crabtree landscape. Instead, there are distinct variations in 1982) to sophisticated composite tools containing the quantities and qualities of toolstones in different hafted stone elements (Daugherty et al. 1987a; places. This geographical variability in toolstone is 1987b) to elaborately flaked masterpieces of expert poorly understood by archaeologists, largely knappers (Meatte 2012; Wilke et al. 1991). Over because the characteristics of useful toolstone are many thousands of years, myriad lithic not always obvious to people who have not used technologies in the region have been introduced or stone to make a living and are not familiar with the invented, developed and proliferated, then been mechanics of stone tool use. Conversely, traditional adapted or replaced by newer lithic technologies native people maintained intimate knowledge of the better suited to changing needs and lifeways.

Benjamin Fitzhugh Anthropology This research assesses the effects of environmental conditions on the strategic decisions of low-density foragers in regards to their stone tool raw material procurement and consumption behavior. Social as well as technological adaptations allow human groups to meet the challenges of environments that are circumscribed due to geographic isolation, low biodiversity, and the potential impacts of natural events. Efficient resource management and participation in social networks can be viewed within the framework of human behavioral ecology as optimal forms of behavior aimed at increasing the chances of successful adaptations to dynamic island environments. A lithic resource consumption behavioral model is constructed and predictions derived from the model are tested through the analysis of lithic flake debitage from artifact assemblages representing 2,100 years of human occupation in the Kuril Islands of Far Eastern Russia in the North Pacific Ocean. The relative proportions of debitage across lithic reduction sequence stages provides a measure of lithic reduction intensity, which is compared with the model predictions based on the environmental conditions and local availability of lithic resources in six archaeological sites.
