CHAPTER FIVE Determining sedentism in the archaeological record
ohio hopewell community organization • Kent, Ohio • Published In 1997 • Pages: 131-152
By: Kozarek, Sue Ellen.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Kozarek writes about the Jennison Guard site, a habitation site, and explores the evidence to determine if the site was occupied on a seasonal or year-round basis. She does this by examining the use and maintenance of space. The lithic assemblage contained a great variety of tool types and seemed to indicate direct acquisition of the nonlocal chert from about 160 km away. Kozarek also found refuse was systematically disposed of and that the central activity area was frequently maintained. These indicate the site was occupied for a long, uninterrupted period of time.
