Eissenstat Professor of Horticulture Chair, Intercollege Graduate Program in Ecology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Native American populations in the eastern United States were active and passive land managers during the period from AD 500 to 1650. The impacts of these land uses were profound, and identifiable in historic records. In this study, vegetation and soil characteristics from archaeological sites and off-site areas were quantified on three United States Department of Defense installations and one protected archaeological site in the eastern U.S. to determine if this legacy of Native American land uses exists on present day landscapes. Vegetative indicator species were identified through ethnobotanical literature review to determine which species were highly important in the diet and life of Native American groups of interest. This research defined two major vegetation indicators, white oak (Quercus alba L.) at MCB Quantico, Virginia and the oak-pine-blueberry (Quercus-Pinus-Vaccinium) association of a sandy glacial outwash moraine at Fort Drum, New York.

  • Perfect Place to Pedal

    Perfect Place to Pedal

    Perfect place to pedal Unchallenging terrain of Pennsylvania trail offers beautiful views, chance to see animals By Bob Downing, Beacon Journal staff writer Published on Sunday, June 13, 2010 The Allegheny River Trail stretches 34.2 miles north-south next to the Allegheny River in western Pennsylvania. (photo by Bob Downing) BELMAR, Pa.: The Sandy Creek Trail is one of the prettiest rail trails you will ever find. It's also where I ran into an unusual critter: a porcupine. That's not something you will find in Ohio, unless it is in a zoo. The quilled creature was munching on plants along the trail. I pedaled up and got a close look at the scraggly and bedraggled little porcupine as it waddled away. I took its picture without getting stuck with quills, but it was obvious that the porcupine was very glad to see me get back on my bike and pedal off. Welcome to the wild Penn's Woods country along the Sandy Creek Trail in northwestern Pennsylvania. The 12-mile bike-and-hike trail near Franklin features one spectacular trestle, an old tunnel and seven bridges over the splashy and wild East Sandy Creek. The wood-decked trestle over the Allegheny River is 1,385 feet long and about 80 feet above the river. From atop the Belmar Bridge, you can see a long, long way and almost kiss the clouds. A pair of white-headed adult bald eagles flapped overhead in search of dead fish for a meal. The bridge was built in 1907 by local oil man Charles Miller and John D.
