AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
'Floral remains from the Statz site were studied primarily to determine which woods and herbaceous plants were utilized by the Archaic and Woodland populations who inhabited south-central Wisonsin.' (page 172). ' A total of 2,439 charcoal specimens were examined from the Staz site of which …2,257 [were] from Woodland or probable Woodland contexts…' (page 176). 'The charcoal assemblage is very unusual in the overwhelming dominance of a single taxon, oak.' (page 176). And of the site inhabitants prefered white oak, which burns better than red oak.
