The presence of non-local cherts, bladelets, and bladelet cores indicates a Middle Woodland Ohio Hopewell occupation. Raw material sourcing, debitage analyses, and a use-wear analysis uncovered that Spracklen functioned as a logistical hunting campsite. Its people utilized bladelets for butchery and hide-working processes. This information provides new insights into Hopewellian life in the uplands and its place within Hopewell community organization.

    Current Research in Ohio Archaeology 2018 Eric Olson www.ohioarchaeology.org Public Archaeology at the Silver Lake Sites Eric Olson The Silver Lake Site I (33SU639) lies on a glacial kame overlooking the upper Cuyahoga River.1 The site is in the 26-acre Silver Lake Park (Figure 1). Following the river, south of the bike and hike trail, is a dirt foot path called the Mandala Trail by residents of Silver Lake. The footpath follows the bend of the Cuyahoga River and extends around the old Cuyahoga Falls and Silver Lake landfill. The Silver Lake sites I and II (33 SU 678) were discovered in March 2017 while the author was walking the trail (Olson 2017a). The initial discovery consisted of 15 small flakes of Upper Mercer, Flint Ridge, and Plum Run cherts. Both site discoveries were made while hiking up the steep inclines from the Cuyahoga floodplain onto the glacial features elevated roughly 10 meters above (Figure 2). The hillside portions of the dirt path are heavily eroded. There are no steps or gravel to slow the flow of water during heavy rains. Erosion exposed some of the flake debris and fire- cracked rock (FCR) on the trail. The author then contacted the Mayor of Silver Lake, Mr. Bernie Hovey, to find out what to do about the archaeological discoveries. Mr. Hovey set up a meeting with the author and the archivist of the Silver Lake Historical Society, Robert Zimmerman. The meeting discussion focused on the disposition of the recovered artifacts, but the important question from both Hovey and Zimmerman was what to do about the archaeological site and the footpath through it.

  • The Walhonding Valley Late Prehistoric Sites Project: the Analysis of Flotation Samples from the Crawford and Tri-Mac/Olinger Sites in Coshocton County, Ohio
    Current Research in Ohio Archaeology 2014 Nigel Brush and P. Nick Kardulias www.ohioarchaeology.org The Walhonding Valley Late Prehistoric Sites Project: The Analysis of Flotation Samples from the Crawford and Tri-Mac/Olinger Sites in Coshocton County, Ohio Nigel Brush, Ashland University and P. Nick Kardulias, College of Wooster Introduction The Walhonding River is formed by the junction of the Kokosing River and the Mohican River near the village of Walhonding in west central Coshocton County, Ohio. After flowing some 18 miles to the east, the Walhonding River merges with the Tuscarawas River to form the Muskingum River near the center of the county at the town of Coshocton. Along the hillsides above the Walhonding River are extensive outcrops of Upper Mercer Flint that reach a maximum thickness of 17 feet near the Village of Nellie. These flint outcrops were heavily utilized by native peoples for tool and weapon production throughout the prehistoric period, and the terraces along the valley are littered with the remains of workshops, camp sites, and villages. Walhonding Valley Late Prehistoric Sites Project Fieldwork in the Walhonding Valley was begun in 1990 by Jim Morton and Nigel Brush. By 2006 this work had grown into the Walhonding Valley Late Prehistoric Sites Project. The purpose of this project is to examine how native peoples living in the Walhonding Valley adapted to three periods of short-term climate change that occurred during a one-thousand-year period from A.D. 700 to 1700: the Dark Age Cold Period (A.D. 400 to 900), the Medieval Warm Period (A.D.
