AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Morgan, Asch, and Stafford describe the Ambrose Flick, Bushmeyer, and Sand Trees sites in the Sny Bottom. The sites are multicomponent sites. They describe their and earlier (1977-1979) fieldwork on these sites. The sites date from 2600 B.P.- 1999 B.P., but only 2600 B.P.-2150 B.P. is within the Early Woodland time period. Mainly described are the ceramics, the points, stratigraphy, radiocarbon dates, and floral remains. The authors then propose a cultural chronology for the Sny Bottom; Seehorn, Kinderhook, and Snycartee phases. They also discuss the relationship between Marion, Black Sand, and Havana. Only the data that pertain to the Early Woodland period were indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) subjects.
