1982 Pennsylvania Archaeologist 52(3-4):1-16 Patterns of Hollow Exploitation Along the Allegheny Front, Center County, Pennsylvania ... Christopher M. Stevenson |
| Three hollows along the Allegheny Front, Centre County,
Pennsylvania, have been surveyed in order to document the settlement
pattern for this area. The local ecological setting of the Allegheny
Front and adjacent Bald Eagle Valley has been reconstructed and a
preliminary model of resource utilization for the Late Archaic and
Woodland Periods is postulated. |

1982 Pennsylvania Archaeologist 52(3-4):17-24 The Williams (33W07a) Red Ocher Cemetery: Preliminary Descriptive and Comparative Analysis of Acquired Dental Pathology Paul W. Sciulli, Bruce W. Aument and Leonard R. Piotrowski |
| The Williams red ocher cemetery is located in the Maumee River
Valley, about 20 miles southwest of Toledo in Wood County, Ohio. The
site represents an ossuary consisting of 18 separate mass burial
features. Preliminary counts of individuals indicate at least 500
and possibly 1000 individuals are represented. (The
uncertainty as to number of individuals is due to the fact
that the majority ( +90%) were cremated and analysis of this large
amount of material will continue for an extended period). A
complete artifact inventory and analysis is not yet compiled.
However, the following list is representative: birdstones,
bannerstones, tubular stone pipes, bone awls, gorgets, socketed
antler points, stone projectile points, shell beads, and a number of
utilized flakes and scrapers. The artifact assemblage , the type of
cemetery and radiocarbon dating (approximately 1000-300 B. C.) shows
the Williams cemetery as a manifestation of the Late Archaic burial
complex. Although the Williams site shows affinities to groups such
as Glacial Kame and Red Ocher it prudently has not been placed into
one of these poorly conceptualized complexes. A specific
designation, if necessary, will await a clearer understanding of the
dynamics of groups encompassed within the burial complex. |

1982 Pennsylvania Archaeologist 52(3-4):25-56 Lancaster County Park Site (36LA96): Conestoga Phase W. Fred Kinsey, III and Jay F. Custer |
| Archaeological excavations were carried out for five weeks
during June and July 1979 at a historic Indian burial site in
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Its accidental discovery was made by
County employees during the excavation of a trench for a waterline.
The site is located on a narrow neck of high ground between
Mill Creek and Conestoga Creek within the Lancaster County Park . A
total of 10 graves was excavated with 9 single interments and
I containing the remains of 3 individuals. Both primary extended and
secondary ossuary-type burials were present. European trade goods ,
Indian-made ornaments and historic documents date the historic
component of this site to the first quarter of the 18th century. 'fhe
site belongs to the Refugee Complex, although it is not possible to
assign specific cultural affiliation to the burials. During the
early 18th century, various displaced Native American populations
resided in Conestoga Manor. Historical documentation and different
modes of inter ment suggest that the Park site Indians represent a
mixed cultural tradition. |

| The genesis and subsequent evolution of the Meadowcroft
Rockshelter/Cross Creek Archaeological Project are detailed in terms
of the basic research strategy and methodology of the project. This
enterprise is offered as an example of one kind of multidisciplinary
research now employed in the Northeast. |
