Download or read book Hunter Gatherer Mortuary Practices during the Central Texas Archaic written by Leland C. Bement and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning over 10,000 years ago and continuing until the arrival of the Spanish in the 1500s, hunter and gatherer societies occupied the Edwards Plateau of central Texas. Archaeological studies over the past eighty years have reconstructed their subsistence, technology, and settlement patterns, but until now little information has been available on their burial practices, due to the scarcity of known burial sites. This detailed archaeological report describes the human skeletal remains, burial furnishings, and fauna recovered from Bering Sinkhole in Kerr County, the first carefully excavated hunter-gatherer burial site in central Texas. The remains in Bering Sinkhole were deposited from 7,500 to 2,000 years ago. Leland Bement's analysis reveals a growing elaboration in burial rituals during the period and also uncovers important data on the diet and health of the hunter-gatherers. He discusses climate change based on faunal remains and compares burial goods such as bone, antler, freshwater shell, marine shell, turtle, and stone artifacts with those found at other Texas mortuary sites and with deposits at hunter-gatherer habitation sites in Central Texas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal environments where marine, brackish to fresh water, and terrestrial resources may be found in close proximity typically contain numerous archeological remains. These sites are particularly vulnerable to serious damage, even total destruction, by wave action and rapid economic growth of the area. The two investigations in this report is an effort to add to the corpus of information concerning the archeology of the central part of the Texas coast. The first excavation was made at a shell midden, the Ingleside Cove Site in San Patricio County. The second excavation was at the Anaqua Site, a campsite on a prominent terrace remnant, in Jackson County.
