ABSTRACT Burnt Rock Mound (26CK3601): Late Archaic and Ceramic Period Human Use of a Northern Mojave Spring Mound by Hal Boyle Rager Dr. Ted Goebel, Examination Committee Chair Assistant Professor of Anthropology University of Nevada. Las Vegas Archaeological excavations and geological trenching at Burnt Rock Spring Mound. 26CK3601. in the northern Mojave Desert has revealed a complex relationship between paleohydrogeology and the prehistoric human use of the site. Multiple formation, accumu­ lation. and deflation episodes since the Late Pleistocene and Holocene correlate with re­ gional climatic models. The mound is located on the northwest periphery of the known extent of Ancestral Puebloan and Patayan peoples. Artifacts, especially micro-debitage. recovered from Late Holocene mound deposits suggest long-term use of this vital resource by Late Archaic and Ceramic peoples. m Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

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.

  • Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan Proposed Land
    DRECP Proposed LUPA and Final EIS CHAPTER III.8. CULTURAL RESOURCES III.8 CULTURAL RESOURCES This chapter presents the Affected Environment for the Land Use Plan Amendment (LUPA) Decision Area and the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP) area for cultural resources. These areas overlap, and in the following programmatic discussion are referred to broadly as the “California Desert Region.” More than 32,000 cultural resources are known in the DRECP area in every existing environmental context ⎼ from mountain crests to dry lake beds ⎼ and include both surface and subsurface deposits. Cultural resources are categorized as buildings, sites, structures, objects, and districts (including cultural landscapes and Traditional Cultural Properties) under the federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Historic properties are cultural resources included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), maintained by the Secretary of the Interior (36 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 60.4). See Section III.8.1.1 for more information on federal regulations and historic properties. This chapter discusses three types of cultural resources classified by their origins: prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic. Prehistoric cultural resources are associated with the human occupation of California prior to prolonged European contact. These resources may include sites and deposits, structures, artifacts, rock art, trails, and other traces of Native American human behavior. In California, the prehistoric period began over 12,000 years ago and extended through the eighteenth century until 1769, when the first Europeans settled in California. Ethnographic resources represent the heritage of a particular ethnic or cultural group, such as Native Americans or African, European, Latino, or Asian immigrants.

    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.

  • Calico Redux: Artifacts Or Geofacts?
    CALICO REDUX: ARTIFACTS OR GEOFACTS? CHRISTOPHER HARDAKER EARTHMEASURE RESEARCH On closer inspection, Calico does not appear to be a natural rock crushing geofactory. Nor is it the case that Calico is bereft of definite and repetitive artifact types. Most tool types are either unifacial (including notched specimens) or bifacial in nature, hundreds of them, and delicately notched perforators (reamers, gravers). There are dozens of artifact types and subtypes represented, and there are thousands of flakes and tool types without cortex and with multiple flake scars. After a review of the controversy, tabulated data are presented. This paper reports on the findings from an examination of over 70,000 fractured subsurface lithic specimens from SBCM 1500A, the Calico Early Man Site, located just east of Barstow, California. The fractured materials are chert, chalcedony, agate, jasper, and other siliceous varieties from medium to high quality. The specimens were collected during excavations from Master Pit 1 (MP1), Master Pit 2 (MP2), with a small fraction from other associated excavations, including Master Pit 3, Trench 1, and several pieces collected from Control Pit 1. Ninety-five percent of the pieces were collected during the 1960s and 1970s in 3-in. levels inside 5-ft.-by-5-ft. units. The classification system was established in the 1960s and 1970s with very few subsequent changes. Occasionally assisted by avocationalist and longtime member of the Friends of Calico, Chris Vedborg, the examinations took place in the Anthropology Laboratory at the San Bernardino County Museum (SBCM) where all specimens are stored. The classified contents of MP1 and MP2 are contained in roughly 60 standard museum boxes.

  • Cultural Resources
    Draft DRECP and EIR/EIS CHAPTER III.8. CULTURAL RESOURCES III.8 CULTURAL RESOURCES This chapter presents the environmental setting/affected environment for the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP) for cultural resources. More than 32,000 cultural resources are known in the Plan Area and occur in every existing environmental context, from mountain crests to dry lake beds, and include both surface and sub-surface deposits. Cultural resources are categorized as buildings, sites, structures, objects, and districts under both federal law (for the purposes of the National Environmental Policy Act [NEPA] and the National Historic Preservation Act [NHPA]) and under California state law (for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act [CEQA]). Historic properties are cultural resources included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) maintained by the Secretary of the Interior and per the NRHP eligibility criteria (36 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 60.4). See Section III.8.1.1 for more information on federal regulations and historic properties. Historical resources are cultural resources that meet the criteria for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) (14 California Code of Regulations [CCR] Section 4850) or that meet other criteria specified in CEQA (see Section III.8.1.2). See Section III.8.1.2 for more information on state regulations and historical resources. This chapter discusses three types of cultural resources classified by their origins: prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic. Prehistoric cultural resources are associated with the human occupation and use of Cali- fornia prior to prolonged European contact.
