Abstract

ABSTRACT Cave and rockshelter sites have long been the cornerstone of Western Stemmed Tradition (WST) research in the northwestern Great Basin; however, these sites likely offer a narrow view of Terminal Pleistocene and Early Holocene lifeways. Open-air sites dominate the WST record and are critical to our understanding of WST settlement–subsistence practices and technological organization. I present the results of a lithic technological, source provenance, and spatial analysis of the Catnip Creek Delta (CCD) Locality, Guano Valley, OR. The CCD Locality contains one of the densest concentrations of Paleoindian artifacts in the region. My results indicate that the CCD Locality WST assemblage is likely a product of numerous short-term occupations by residentially mobile groups who primarily used the location to replenish their lithic toolkit and as a hunting location.

美国俄勒冈州瓜诺谷Catnip Creek三角洲的西方传统定居点——生存和文学技术组织

摘要洞穴和岩石避难所遗址长期以来一直是大盆地西北部西方传统研究的基石；然而，这些地点可能提供了一个狭窄的视野，以了解更新世晚期和全新世早期的生活方式。露天场地在WST记录中占据主导地位，对我们理解WST定居点——生存实践和技术组织至关重要。我介绍了俄勒冈州瓜诺谷Catnip Creek三角洲（CCD）地区的石器技术、来源和空间分析结果。CCD所在地是该地区古印度文物最密集的地区之一。我的研究结果表明，CCD Locality WST组合很可能是居住流动群体大量短期职业的产物，他们主要利用该地点补充他们的石器工具包，并将其作为狩猎地点。

期刊介绍： PaleoAmerica disseminates new research results and ideas about early human dispersal and migrations, with a particular focus on the Americas. It fosters an interdisciplinary dialog between archaeologists, geneticists and other scientists investigating the dispersal of modern humans during the late Pleistocene. The journal has three goals: First and foremost, the journal is a vehicle for the presentation of new research results. Second, it includes editorials on special topics written by leaders in the field. Third, the journal solicits essays covering current debates in the field, the state of research in relevant disciplines, and summaries of new research findings in a particular region, for example Beringia, the Eastern Seaboard or the Southern Cone of South America. Although the journal’s focus is the peopling of the Americas, editorials and research essays also highlight the investigation of early human colonization of empty lands in other areas of the world. As techniques are developing so rapidly, work in other regions can be very relevant to the Americas, so the journal will publish research relating to other regions which has relevance to research on the Americas.
