AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Lepper and Yerkes re-examine the archaeological data from the Newark Earthworks excavations conducted by Everett Hale in 1977-1980. Two portions of the site were examined in detail, Hale's House and Meridian Alley. Microwear analysis of tools from these two areas suggests the tools were expediently used for activities such as scraping fresh and dry hide, cutting soft wood, incising bone, antler or shell, and cutting meat. The Hale's House site seems to contain domestic refuse and show evidence of repeated short-term occupation. Lepper and Yerkes also found evidence that 'archaeologically discernible traces of the Newark Earthworks and related occupation loci are preserved, even in developed sections of urban Newark.' (page 189).
