Investigations at Chucalissa (40SY1) in Shelby County, Tennessee, have been instrumental in establishing Mississippian period chronology for southwestern Tennessee and much of the surrounding region. Excavations conducted in 2003 produced a suite of new radiocarbon dates that has provided a refined ...
The site was occupied during the Stirling phase of the Mississippian period, from about A.D. 1100 to 1200 (calibrated radio-carbon dates [Hall 1991]). Half of the figurine was found in a shallow pit inside the apparent temple building, the other half in a garbage pit outside (south of...
Artifacts found at the site are those associated with Mississippian cultures, and a number of radiocarbon dates from the site indicate a Mississippian time period. The main part of the Aztalan site is about twenty-one acres in size, and this area was enclosed within a wooden stockade with ...
The altered zone is dated as post-Watrous redbeds (post-Triassic); consequently the growth of replacement anhydrite post-dates this period. The occurrence of included bitumen in many porphyroblasts indicates that some replacement occurred after or during the introduction of oil into the Mississippian...
A large burial mound and a platform mound are associated with this period of site use. Our results also indicate that the unusual ceramic sequence identified by Sears in the site's large shoreline shell midden is the result of redeposition, which occurred sometime after cal. A.D. 1220. ...
AMS dates from a core and post in a nearby excavation unit indicate that the mound was used during the period cal AD 1000-1180 (2 sigma).STAFFORD, C. RussellGeoarchaeology of Prehistoric Earthworks
The assemblage could also reflect a Late Fisher occupation followed after a short period of time by a terminal Fisher/early Huber occupation. Oneota sites in northwestern Indiana appear to have been relatively rare, widely distributed, small, and seasonal....
Our specific objectives were to determine: (i) the extent of soil formation during the past 900 years, (ii) the time period and extent of disturbance by human activities, including tillage and digging by treasure hunters and looters, and (iii) the erosion phase of soils on mound sideslopes...
This dissertation reconstructs the site's late prehistoric through early historic period occupation (A.D. 800 to 1650), particularly the several hundred years (A.D. 1150 to 1450) during the Mississippian period when the community consisted of a planned town with domestic and public spaces. ...
