Book excerpt: A comprehensive view of quarrying activities from three key regions in North America. This exciting new addition to the the American Landscapes series provides an in-depth account of how flintknappers obtained and used stone based on archaeological, geological, landscape, and anthropological data. Featuring case studies from three key regions in North America, this book gives readers a comprehensive view of quarrying activities ranging from extracting the raw material to creating finished stone tools. Quarry landscapes were some of the first large-scale land modification efforts among early peoples in the New World. The chronological time periods covered by quarrying activities, show that most intensive use took place during parts of the Archaic and Woodland periods or between roughly 4000–1000 years ago when denser populations existed, but use began as early as the Paleoindian Period, about 13,000–9000 years ago, and ended in the Historic or Protohistoric periods, when colonists and Native Americans mined chert for gunflints and sharpening stones or abrasives. From the procurement systems approach common in the 1980s and 1990s, archaeologists can now employ a landscape approach to quarry studies in tandem with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) computer mapping and digital analysis, Light and RADAR (LiDAR) airborne laser scanning for recording topography, or high resolution satellite imagery. Authors Dowd and Trubitt show how sites functioned in a broad landscape context, which site locations or raw material types were preferred and why, what cultures were responsible for innovative or intensive quarry resource extraction, as well as how land use changed over time. Besides discussions of the way that industrialists used natural resources to change their technology by means of manufacture, trade, and exchange, examples are given of heritage sites that people can visit in the United States and Canada.

Book Obsidian Source Analysis in Northwestern Wyoming

Download or read book Obsidian Source Analysis in Northwestern Wyoming written by Gary A. Wright and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brief update is given concerning our research into the distribution of obsidian from the three apparently most important sources in, or adjacent to, northwestern Wyoming. These include Obsidian Cliff in Yellowstone National Park and Teton Pass in southern Jackson Hole. The specific location of the third source, the F.M.Y. or 90 Group, obsidian from which was identified on archaeological sites over 15 years ago, is still unknown. The distribution data from archaeological sites suggest that the F.M.Y. (90 Goup) source itself is not located in Yellowstone National Park as was originally hypothesized; nor is it in Jackson Hole. We currently believe that it may be found somewhere in the arc west to north of Yellowstone National Park. The paper concludes with a request for samples from possible sources so that we might pinpoint the exact F.M.Y. (90 Group) location.
