Provenience of artifacts
sloan: a paleoindian dalton cemetery in arkansas • Washington • Published In 1997 • Pages: 72-95
By: Morse, Dan F., Morse, Phyllis A., Mainfort, Robert C., Lockhart. Jami J., Akridge, Glen.
Abstract
Morse et al. analyze the spatial patterning of the artifacts and the bone at the site to confirm the interpretation that Sloan was a cemetery and to determine how many individuals may have been buried there. Each artifact cluster is described. The distribution of the tools indicates there was minimal social differentiation in Dalton society. Soil samples had been collected during excavation and some of these were used to test for calcium, zinc, and copper. These tests also indicate human bone was present at the site.
