资源简介:
Samples were examined from 11 stone ring sites in the Coteau Mine Area in Mercer
County, west-central North Dakota, to provide subsistence information. These sites will be
impacted by expansion of coal strip mining operations. A total of 33 lithic tools from these 11
sites were analyzed for possible protein residues to determine animal resources that might
have been hunted/processed with the tools. Five fill samples from hearths associated with
stone rings at sites 32ME169, 32ME755, 32ME1482, and 32ME1513 were floated to recover
macrofloral remains. Charcoal from the hearth at 32ME1482 was identified and AMS
radiocarbon dated. Macrofloral analysis will be used to provide information concerning plant
resources utilized by the site occupants. Cultural material was noted at shallow depths, making
sampling and interpreting the pollen record problematic due to frost heaving and mixing of the
modern with the prehistoric records.
