Rethinking Hudson-Meng: A Taphonomic Analysis Of The Faunal Assemblage From 25sx115, Sioux County, Nebraska, Diana M. Barg
Culminating Projects in Cultural Resource Management
Hudson-Meng (25SX115), located in the Oglala National Grassland, Sioux County, Nebraska, is a multi-component Cody complex site that was used for the procurement of bison between 10,500 and 11,250 years ago. The site was excavated in the 1970s and 1990s, which led to many, at times divergent, interpretations of the site’s origin and use by Cody complex peoples. Excavations between 2006 and 2012 have led to new evidence and interpretations regarding multiple episodes of site use. The faunal assemblage recovered from the most recent excavations was used for zooarchaeological and taphonomic studies, and is reported here. The identification of taphonomic …

Analyzing The Effects Of Tree Throw On The Wendt Archaeological Site, Jennifer L. Norman
Culminating Projects in Cultural Resource Management
The overall research goal of this thesis is to analyze how tree throw affects archaeological sites in order to gain a greater understanding of site formation processes influenced by this significant environmental factor. This research focused on whether we have the ability to determine if tree throw had previously affected undisturbed areas adjacent to the excavated tree throws areas, which have been significantly disturbed in recent years by wind and fire events. This paper will present the preliminary methods and results of the effects of tree throw on soil stratigraphy and the placement of lithic artifacts at the Wendt site …

Culminating Projects in Cultural Resource Management
This final paper is original research developed and executed as a thesis study for the degree of Master of Science in Cultural Resource Management Archaeology at Saint Cloud State University (SCSU). ln addition to SCSU, this project operated in west-central Guatemala under the auspices of Proyecto Salinas de los Nueve Cerros [Salt Plain of the Nine Hills Project] from January until April of 2011. The purpose oftbis study was to record Nueve Cerros cave art, analyze its content, and go on to interpret its potential meanings and significance. Field survey recorded a significant cave art assemblage dispersed between three decorated …
