The King’s Quarry site (36LH2), located in the Reading Prong region of eastern Pennsylvania, is one of six remaining jasper quarries mapped by the late James Hatch and reported in 1994. Several archaeological investigations were conducted there in preparation for a housing development. These investigations included controlled surface collections, hand excavated test units, and extensive mechanical investigations of mining pits. Pre-Contact era quarry pits were profiled in what appeared to be the most intensively mined area of the site. Several charcoal samples were collected from the profile which documented a prehistoric excavation over 7 m deep. A Paleoindian fluted preform along with other typical Paleoindian tools were recovered from the perimeter of the quarry pit. We present the results of the field testing and an extensive analysis of the artifacts. Despite the jumble of overlapping mining pits and historic farming activities, the site retains both horizontal and vertical integrity.
King 's Quarry遗址(36LH2)位于宾夕法尼亚州东部的Reading Prong地区，是已故的James Hatch在1994年绘制的六个碧石采石场之一。在那里进行了几次考古调查，为住宅开发做准备。这些调查包括控制地面收集，手工挖掘测试单元，以及广泛的采矿坑机械调查。在接触前时代的采石场被描绘成似乎是该遗址开采最密集的地区。从剖面中收集了几个木炭样本，记录了一个超过7米深的史前挖掘。在采石场周围发现了古印度带槽的预制器和其他典型的古印度工具。我们展示了现场测试的结果和对工件的广泛分析。尽管有重叠的矿坑和历史悠久的农业活动，该遗址保持了水平和垂直的完整性。

We synthesize environmental and cultural change following a volcanic eruption at A.D. 846–848 in Subarctic North America to demonstrate how social relationships shaped responses to natural disasters. Ethnohistoric accounts and archaeometric studies reveal differences in human adaptations in the Yukon and Mackenzie river basins that relate to exertions of power over contested resources versus affordances of security to intercept dispersed migrating animals. The ways that pre-contact hunter-gatherers maintained or redressed ecological imbalances influenced respective trajectories of resilience to a major event. Adaptive responses to a volcanic eruption affected the movement of bow and arrow technology and the proliferation of copper use in northwest North America.

Any productive or technological activity takes place in a social context and is embedded in a history of native practices, perceptions, and use of multiple landscapes. This paper explores topics that supplement and build upon technological and cultural historical approaches to quarry research. Briefly considered are: quarries as common ground and loci of group interaction; a taskscape/landscape approach to quarry selection and history of use; color and the selection of toolstone; and the relationship between settlement patterns, landscape learning, lithic preferences, quarry selection, social memory, and changing lithic technologies.

The Lawn Lake site is a stratified hunting camp situated on a glacial lake outlet river terrace in Rocky Mountain National Park’s upper subalpine forest zone. Its archaeological assemblage represents 9,000 years of hunter-gatherer use as a summer game and plant processing camp for subalpine forest and nearby alpine tundra resource areas. This article’s focus is on the site’s earliest camp levels which contain artifacts and AMS radiocarbon dated hearth charcoal between 8,900 and 7,900 cal yr BP, placing them among the region’s earliest high montane (3,353 m ASL) Paleoindian hunting camps, once part of a network of such sites designed to support systematic high altitude procurement of summer migratory game animals and plant foods in Southern Rocky Mountain subalpine forest and tundra ecosystems. Lawn Lake paleoclimate and paleoecology studies produced long-term pollen records and climate-proxy sediment data for modeling the site’s prehistoric climate and ecology history, useful for interpreting its high-altitude Late Paleoindian hunter-gatherer adaptations.
Lawn Lake场地是一个分层狩猎营地，位于落基山国家公园上亚高山森林地带的冰川湖出水口阶地上。它的考古组合代表了9000年的狩猎采集者作为亚高山森林和附近高山苔原资源区的夏季狩猎和植物加工营地。本文的重点是该遗址最早的营地水平，其中包含8,900至7,900 cal - yr BP之间的人工制品和AMS放射性碳测定的炉底木炭，将它们置于该地区最早的高海拔(海拔3,353米)古印第安人狩猎营地中，曾经是此类站点网络的一部分，旨在支持在南落基山亚高山森林和苔原生态系统中系统地高海拔采购夏季迁徙动物和植物食物。Lawn Lake古气候和古生态研究产生了长期的花粉记录和气候代用沉积物数据，用于模拟该遗址的史前气候和生态历史，有助于解释其高海拔晚期古印第安人的狩猎采集适应性。

The Ripley site is a Late Woodland through Historic period Iroquoian site located on a bluff overlooking the southern shore of Lake Erie in Western New York in the town of Ripley. Numerous authors have mentioned the presence of a midden along the eastern slope of the site, where prehistoric inhabitants cast refuse down the slope toward Young’s Run. The primary focus of this research is to examine the soils along the eastern slope to determine the origins of those deposits. This research will further reconstruct the depositional processes along the backslope, footslope, and toeslope of the eastern bluff, as well as determine if cultural refuse disposal from the prehistoric occupation of the Ripley site occurred along the eastern slope.

Recent excavations at three prehistoric sites in eastern Idaho recovered a moderate amount of culturally-introduced macrobotanical remains, including mountain ball and prickly pear cactus, goosefoot, sunflower, and tobacco, all of which came from contexts dating between 1500 B.C. and A.D. 1000. Within the greater region, cactus, goosefoot, and sunflower were first used by people between ca. 11,000 and 8500 B.C., whereas the archaeobotanical record for tobacco dates back to 10,300 B.C. The Birch Creek Valley data set allows us to explore aspects of local site function and settlement practices, as well as the temporal range and ubiquity of the above-listed taxa within the northern Intermountain West and adjacent portions of the central Rocky Mountains.

Studies at 36JU104 on the Juniata River and 36DA159 on Susquehanna River allow a comparison of the use of quartzite outcrops and river cobble sources. Travelers through the Lewistown Narrows camped at 36JU104 for over 8000 years and used Tuscarora quartzite from nearby outcrops mainly for expedient tools. At 36DA159 the inhabitants used easily obtainable stream cobbles of Tuscarora quartzite for both formal and expedient tools, although outcrops occur nearby. Quartzite use through time at the two sites is compared to examine variation in why and how quartzite was used and the role of both sites as persistent places on the landscape.

The archaeological data suggest that the procurement of quartz was often times not a random or adventitious event, but rather an organized task of exploitation targeting geologic exposures which afforded good quality material in terms of composition, form, and quantity. In the absence of professionally collected data on quartz quarries or quartz extraction areas, an inferential approach can be substituted to afford some clarity to the issue. The study of patterning in recorded archaeological sites with dominant quartz tool stone assemblages can provide the means for identifying the geologic source areas and assist in precisely locating procurement areas.
