A New Assessment Of The Archaeological Significance Of The Ashworth Site (15bu236)., Philip James Diblasi 1954- Jul 1981

A New Assessment Of The Archaeological Significance Of The Ashworth Site (15bu236)., Philip James Diblasi 1954-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Reinvestigation of a National Register property, the Ashworth Rockshelter (15BU236), northeast of Shepardsville, Bullitt Co., Kentucky, revealed stratified Early Archaic through Mississippian components (ca. 7900 B.C.-1500 A.D.). Primary occupation occurred under the shelter and eight meters (horizontally) of talus were located. The depth of the deposit is two meters, the lowest third representing the Early Archaic period. Forty-five culturally-diagnostic projectile points delineated the strata. Seven well-preserved burials indicate early mortality, severe physical conditions, and a preference to bury under the shelter. Well-preserved mollusks and vertebrate remains indicate a subsistence shift from aquatic to forest-edge communities from Early to Late Archaic …
