Book Summary of Results Chief Joseph Dam Cultural Resources Project Washington

Download or read book Summary of Results Chief Joseph Dam Cultural Resources Project Washington written by Sarah K. Campbell and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document summarizes results of the Chief Joseph Dam Cultural Resources Project, a salvage program carried out by the Office of Public Archaeology, University of Washington under contract to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District. Between July 1978 and August 1980, intensive excavations were conducted at eighteen prehistoric habitation sites on the floodplain and lower terraces of the Columbia River on the 45-mile stretch of river above Chief Joseph Dam. This reach of the river, the lower section of the Upper Columbia, lies between the arid, basaltic Columbia Plateau and the forested, granitic Okanogan Highlands and includes portions of the traditional territories of two Native American groups, the Sanpoil-Nespelem and Southern Okanogan. This report summarizes findings at a project-wide scale. General descriptive information about the regional assemblage is presented, and arguments are developed supporting inferences about the organization of local subsistence and settlement systems and changes in them through time.

Book excerpt: Site 45-OK-11 is on the north bank of the Columbia River in Okanogan County, between River Mile 576 and 577. The University of Washington excavated 1020 cu m of site volume from 1978-1980 for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, as part of a mitigation program associated with adding 10 ft to the operating pool level behind Chief Joeph Dam. Systematic aligned random sampling with 1 x 1 x .01 m units of record in 1 x 2 or 2 x 2-m cells disclosed two major cultural components representing the Hudnut and Kartar Phases.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Site 45-DO-204 is on the south bank of the Columbia River (River Mile 567) atop a narrow alluvial fan opposite the mouth of the Omak Trench. Tucked into a small cove, the site location offered a secluded, protected campsite less than .4 km from Parson's Rapids. Vegetation is characteristic of the Upper Sonoran life zone. The University of Washington excavated 153.8 m (5.5%) of site volume in 1978 for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, as part of a mitigation program associated with adding 10 ft to the operating pool level behind Chief Joseph Dam. A nested, stratified sampling design of randomly placed and purposively selected 1 x 1-m excavation units arranged in 1 x 2-m and 2 x 2-m cells disclosed at least four prehistoric occupations spanning the last 4500 years. The earliest occupation, sparsely represented by a triangular projectile point preform and chalcedony blade, some debitage and fire-modified rock, probably dates to before 4500 B.P. The second occupation is marked by a variety of functional tool forms and a small firepit with pine cones and pine seeds radiocarbon dated to 4590 + or - 143 B.P. The third occupation, defined as a living surface radiocarbon dated to 2812 + or - 344 B.P., contains the densest concentration of artifacts found at the site. The most recent occupation is distinguished by a stratified earth oven, radiocarbon dated at 592 + or - 71 B.P. and 655 + or - 67 B.P.A dense bone scatter, several firepits, and an earth oven indicate short-term activities. Tools document an emphasis in all four periods on hunting and butchering, supplemented by the gathering and processing of plant stuffs. (Author).

This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unique volume, archaeologists examine the changing economic structure of trade in North America over a period of 6,000 years. Organined by geographical and chronological divisions, each chapter focuses on trade in one of nine regions from the Arachiac through the late prehistoric period. Each contribution explores neighboring areas to llustrate the complexity of North American exchange. By charting the econmic structure of these regions, archaeologists, economic anthropologists, and economic geographers gain greater insight into the dynamics of North American trade and exchange on a continental wide basis.

Book Respect for the Ancestors

Download or read book Respect for the Ancestors written by Peter N. Jones and published by Bauu Institute. This book was released on 2005 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1996 on the banks of the Columbia River a 9,300-year old skeleton was found that would become the impetus for the first legal assault on the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The Kennewick Man, as it came to be called, put to test whether the American Indian tribes of the area were culturally affiliated with the skeleton as they claim and their oral traditions affirm, or whether the skeleton was affiliated with a people who are no longer present. At the same time, another 9,000-year old skeleton was found in the storage facility of the Nevada State Museum, where it had gone unnoticed for the past 50 years. Like the Kennewick Man, the Spirit Cave Mummy also brought to fore the question of cultural affiliation between contemporary American Indian tribes of the western Great Basin and those people who resided in the area during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene. Cultural anthropologist Peter N. Jones tackles these contentious questions in this landmark study, Respect for the Ancestors. For the first time in a single work, the question of cultural affiliation between the present-day American Indians of the American West and the people of the distant past is examined using multiple lines of evidence. Out of this comprehensive study, a picture of continuous cultural evolution and adaptation between the peoples of the ancient past and those of the present-day emerges from the evidence. Further, important implications for the field of anthropology are discussed as a result of this benchmark study. Anyone working in the American West today will benefit from this book.

Book Archaeological Investigations at Site 45 DO 273 Chief Joseph Dam Project Washington

Download or read book Archaeological Investigations at Site 45 DO 273 Chief Joseph Dam Project Washington written by Manfred E. W. Jaehnig and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Site 45-DO-273 is on the south bank of the Columbia River (River Mile 561), near the Okanogan Highland-Columbia Plateau boundary, in an Upper Sonoran life zone. The University of Washington excavated 158.6 cubic meters in 1979 for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, as part of a mitigation program for a 10-foot pool raise at the Chief Joseph Dam Project. Systematic aligned random sampling with 1 x 1 x 0.1-meter units of record in 1 x 2 or 2 x 2-meter cells disclosed three prehistoric occuptions on an alluvial fan built onto an early point bar deposit, interbedded with overbank sediments. The two carbon dates obtained are unreliable, several serrated lanceolate projectile points suggest that the first occupation occurred more than 5,500 years ago. The second, more intensive occupation probably occurred about 4,500 years ago. Both of these early occupations fall within the Kartar Phase. The third occupation, in the Coyote Creek Phase, probably took place between 1,500 and 1,000 years ago. The occupations show little change in more than 4,500 years; all are lithic and bone concentrations with microblade technology and lithic stations. The earlier two occupations yielded mussel shell fragments, which are lacking in the later two. No earth ovens or hearths were found. (Author).
