Detection of resonant knapped lithics using chirp sonar

MARGARET A. MORRIS, Morgan F. Smith, John A. Hildebrand, Petr Krysl et autres

Abstract Sub-bottom profiling (SBP) systems have been used to detect lithics on the seafloor, where their presence has been inferred from a convex pattern of reflections in the water-column portion of the profile, called haystacks. These signals have been attributed to the …

Multi-proxy paleoenvironmental data from Paulina Marsh inform human-environmental dynamics in the Northern Great Basin U.S.A.

Katelyn N. McDonough, Daniel G. Gavin, Richard L. Rosencrance, Loren G. Davis et autres

Understanding the dynamics between climate change and human adaptive strategies is a longstanding question driving paleoecological and archaeological research in North America's Great Basin. We present multiproxy data from five sediment cores retrieved from Paulina Marsh in the Fort Rock Basin, Oregon, …

Lithic Technological Organization of the Suwannee Tradition: A View from the Ryan-Harley Site (8JE1004), Florida, USA

Morgan F. Smith

Suwannee points are an unfluted lanceolate style found on the Lower Southeastern Coastal Plain of North America. Suwannee points are undated but thought to represent a regional, post-Clovis group that lived during the Younger Dryas, with a hypothesized age range of ∼12,700-11,500 …

The magnificent seven: Marine submerged precontact sites found by systematic geoarchaeology in the Americas

Michael K. Faught, Morgan F. Smith

There are significant challenges to answering questions of Native American precontact history with data from sites in marine submerged continental shelf settings. We find seven published examples of projects in the Americas that encountered archaeological sites through systematic and phased geoarchaeological research. …

The Early Holocene archaeology of Florida: geospatial approaches to understanding Bolen mobility

Jessi J. Halligan, David K. Thulman, Adam Burke, Morgan F. Smith

Three of the most influential archaeological models in the southeastern US have argued that early foragers organized their lifeways via seasonal movement along major drainage basins; around access to raw material sources, crossing drainage basins; or around group foraging needs, following central …

A Reexamination of the Paleoindian Bison Kill at the Alexon Site, Florida

Michael R. Waters, Zachary A. Newell, Morgan F. Smith

A chert object embedded in the cranium of a bison found at the Alexon site, Florida, is cited as direct evidence of human and megafauna interaction at the end of the Pleistocene in the American Southeast. Previous analyses identified the chert object …

Acoustic Mapping of Submerged Stone Age Sites—A HALD Approach

Ole Grøn, Lars Ole Boldreel, Morgan F. Smith, Shawn Joy et autres

Acoustic response from lithics knapped by humans has been demonstrated to facilitate effective detection of submerged Stone Age sites exposed on the seafloor or embedded within its sediments. This phenomenon has recently enabled the non-invasive detection of several hitherto unknown submerged Stone …

Geoarchaeological investigations at the Ryan‐Harley Paleoindian site, Florida (8JE1004): Implications for human settlement of the Wacissa River Basin during the Younger Dryas

Morgan F. Smith

Abstract Ryan‐Harley (8JE1004) in the Wacissa River of North Florida is one of few sites in the Eastern United States that contains an unfluted lanceolate point component (Suwannee) in a buried context. Extinct and extirpated faunal remains found within the Suwannee artifact …
