Little Caney River, Prehistory (Copan Lake): 1978 Field Season
Author: Terry J. Prewitt

Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
During the Summer and Fall of 1978 the University of Tulsa, Laboratory of Archaeology conducted an investigation of five archaeological sites in the area of Copan Lake, now under construction along the drainage of the Little Caney River between its confluence with the Caney River and the town of Caney, Kansas. The investigation represented Phase II of a multi-year project funded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District Office. Phase II fieldwork at Copan Lake included the excavation of three sites (Sites 34WN30, 34WN64, 34WN68) and test excavation of two additional sites (Sites 34WN32, 34WN69). The bulk of field work was conducted during late June through August, although limited additional work was carried out during the months of October and November. The sites studied represent a number of different kinds of activity or occupancy, as part of continued emphasis of paleoenvironmental reconstruction and settlement systems analysis for the Little Caney drainage. The incorporation of the work with prior investigations by the Laboratory of Archaeology (Henry, 1977a; Keyser and Farley, 1979) and other institutions (Rohn and Smith, 1972; Vaugh, 1975; Vehik and Pailes, 1978) should strongly aid in the development of a refined prehistory of the region, especially the ecotonal area generally referred to as the Cross-Timbers (see also Henry, 1977b, 1977c, 1978).

Little Caney River Prehistory

ISBN:
Category : Copan Lake Dam (Okla.)
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
Six archaeological sites or prospective site areas were excavated, and limited shoreline areas and cutbank exposures were inspected as part of the 1979 Phase III investigations of the Copan Archeological Project under Contract No. DACW56-77-C-0228 with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. One prospective site, 34WN34, was found to be incorrectly located by previous investigators and excavation had negative results. Two sites (34WN26 and 34WN68) are Late Woodland burned rock middens; and three others (34WN12, 34WN29, 34WN36) are Late Woodland open encampments. 34WN29 had charcoal sufficient for radiocarbon dating and four dates allow an accurate assessment of the age of the Copan paleosol at this site as between 1650-1000 B.P. Whether or not the sites were coeval could not be determined, but it is clear that they have variable material contents which suggest differences in use, residential groups, seasonal habitation or combinations of all of these factors. Although our data are insufficient to model Late Woodland settlement practices in a more inclusive fashion, they do point out directions for future settlement study. The Phase III discovery of Middle Archaic artifacts in a Cotton Creek cutbank marks a significant addition to knowledge of the earlier prehistory of the Little Caney River and its tributaries. The positive results of shoreline inspections north of the dam indicate that other archaeological remains or sites will be discovered, disturbed or destroyed as project construction continues and the lake is impounded.

Geoarchaeology in the Great Plains
Author: Rolfe D. Mandel
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 9780806132617
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Geoarchaeology is the application of geoscience to the study of archaeological deposits and the archaeological record. Employing techniques from pedology, geomorphology, sedimentology, geochronology, and stratigraphy, geoarchaeologists investigate and interpret sediments, soils and landforms at the focal points of archaeological research. Edited by Rolfe D. Mandel and with contributions by John Albanese, Joe Allen Artz, E. Arthur Bettis III, C. Reid Ferring, Vance T. Holliday, David W. May, and Mandel, this volume traces the history of all major projects, researchers, theoretical developments, and sites contributing to our geoarchaeological knowledge of North America's Great Plains. The book provides a historical overview and explores theoretical questions that confront geoarchaeologists working in the Great Plains, where North American geoarchaeology emerged as a discipline.
