1969 Pennsylvania Archaeologist 39(1-4):1-5 Rockshelters (Trail Shelters) of the Upper Allegheny Stanley W . Lantz |
|
The patterns of prehistoric rockshelter utilization in the upper
Allegheny area are discussed . These indicate that the quality of
shelter was not the sole or dominating factor in determining
occupation or absence thereof. Characteristics that are common to
the utilized shelters are noted and contrasted with those of the
shelters which show little or no occupation . The requirements of
aboriginal life are analyzed in relation to the peculiarities of the
topography, and these are shown to be met precisely by those
shelters which were utilized. |

1969 Pennsylvania Archaeologist 39(1-4):7-22 The Archeology of Dutchess Quarry Cave, Orange County, New York Robert E. Funk, George R. Walters and William F . Ehlers , Jr. |
| The Dutchess Quarry Cave near Middletown, Orange Co ., N.Y. was
excavated in 1965-67 by the Orange County chapter of the N.Y. State
Archeological Association. The site yielded sparse evidence of
prehistoric Indian habitation in a roughly defined column, ranging
from Late remains in top levels, through traces of several Archaic
complexes in middle levels, to a single Cumberland fluted point in
basal cultural levels. The fluted point seems likely to have been
associated with the bones of a caribou, a cold-loving species which
has not occurred south of the New York-Canada border since early
post-glacial times. The pre-cultural strata of the cave appear to
have been deposited by glacial meltwaters at the close of the
Pleistocene epoch. |

1969 Pennsylvania Archaeologist 39(1-4):23-28 A Snook Kill Workshop Paul L. Weinman and Thomas P. Weinman |
| A workshop site near Normanskill flint quarries in Greene County
, New York is described. Almost all artifacts are from the local
flint, and all but a few are of the Snook Kill tradition . Chippage,
blanks, broken pieces, finished points, and stages of manufacture
are present . A sequence of manufacturing steps is suggested. The
few exceptions to the Snook Kill tradition are Susquehanna Broad and
"Steubenville" (since renamed Fox Creek by Funk) points. |

1969 Pennsylvania Archaeologist 39(1-4):29-39 The Erb Rockshelter Barry C. Kent* and Vance P. Packard |
| Excavation of the Erb rockshelter in southern Lancaster Co unty,
Pennsylvania, revealed an unusual feature and some associated Early
and Middle Woodland artifacts. Other materials from the site
indicate that it was occupied at various times from the Archaic to
the Late Woodland Period. A number of Woodland Epoch pottery
ty pes were recovered, including a portion of an interesting
shell-tempered Shenk's Ferry pot. |

1969 Pennsylvania Archaeologist 39(1-4):40-52 Some Recent Work on the prehistory of the Onondaga Nation James A. Tuck |
| A series of prehistoric Iroquois sites is described. The
emergence of the Onondaga nation is traced from its antecedents in
the Chance, Oak Hill, and Owasco phases. Essentially there is a slow
in situ cultural evolution with little evidence of outside
influence, Diffuse occupations gradually consolidate into larger,
more densely settled centers . The sequence seems to consist of a
series of paired contemporaneous villages, one large and one
smaller. During the Oak Hill phase these villages were often
stockaded, and during the latter part of the period were located on
hilltops. The process of consolidating populations which eventually
produced the Onondaga and, by inference, other Iroquoian nations is
seen as the early stages of the same trend which eventually also
resulted in the Five Nation Confederation |

1969 Pennsylvania Archaeologist 39(1-4):53-71 |
| The site known as the Petroglyphs Opposite Millsboro, 36 Fa 36,
Fayette County, Pennsylvania, is described and illustrated. Motifs
are discussed. Comparisons are made between designs on the site and
those on other petroglyph sites studied and published (or in the
hands of editors) by the author as a result of his present
investigation of petroglyph sites in the Upper Ohio Valley. Data
used in this article were not obtained from field work at the site.
As detailed in the text, the information was compiled from
publications and physical records made by others and frequently many
years before the present study. Comparisons are with sites recently
studied. |
