Hill Horizon 11

This dataset is comprised of samples taken from the faunal assemblage excavated at the Koster Site and identified for Frederick Hill’s dissertation research (Hill 1975) as well as for the Koster Project prior to 1975. The data in this file are part of the combined Horizon 11 Macro and Micro files already, and thus, duplicate part of that file. Methods used to collect macro and micro faunal remains from the original Horizon 11 units included trowel and shovel excavation, screening through ½ mesh, and flotation, for which samples were taken from every level and feature. Hill also identified some materials from several units in Horizon 11 that were excavated in 18”X18” miniblocks, which are included in this dataset from Square’s 237, 238, 250-253, 255 and 336. Hill’s identifications were recorded on paper coding sheets. In 2015 students at Indiana University of Pennsylvania created a digital database from these coding sheets under the supervision of Sarah Neusius for use in the Eastern Archaic Faunal Working Group Project.

本数据集的样本取自科斯特遗址（Koster Site）出土的动物群遗存（faunal assemblage），这些遗存曾为弗雷德里克·希尔（Frederick Hill）的博士论文研究（Hill 1975）以及1975年之前的科斯特项目（Koster Project）完成鉴定。本文件中的数据已属于合并后的第11层位（Horizon 11）大样本与微样本文件（Macro and Micro files）的一部分，因此重复了该文件的部分内容。从原始第11层位发掘单位中采集大、小型动物遗存的方法包括：手铲（trowel）与铲（shovel）发掘、半英寸网目过筛（screening through ½ mesh）以及浮选法（flotation），所有地层层面与考古遗迹均采集了样本。希尔还对第11层位中以18英寸×18英寸迷你发掘区块（18”X18” miniblocks）方式发掘的部分单位的遗存进行了鉴定，本数据集包含来自探方（Square）237、238、250-253、255与336的此类遗存。希尔的鉴定结果记录在纸质编码记录表（coding sheets）上。2015年，宾夕法尼亚印第安纳大学（Indiana University of Pennsylvania）的学生在萨拉·诺伊修斯（Sarah Neusius）的指导下，将这些编码记录表整理为数字化数据库，供东部阿卡迪克时期动物群研究工作组项目（Eastern Archaic Faunal Working Group Project）使用。
