408. Geoarchaeology of the Clary Ranch Paleoindian Sites, Western Nebraska
|
| Primary Leader: David W. May |
| Leader(s): Dave Rapson, Matthew G. Hill |
| Field Trip Description: This trip will visit two Late Paleoindian sites in the Ash Hollow drainage, a major tributary to the North Platte River in western Nebraska. These two sites are contemporary and are believed to represent complementary dimensions of a single settlement and subsistence system. One is a bison processing area; the other a camp. Emphasis will be on interdisciplinary research in the basin and at the sites, including geomorphology and early-Holocene stratigraphy in the basin, paleoenvironmental reconstruction using several lines of evidence, and Paleoindian archaeology. A visit to a local museum (Ash Hollow Cave) is included as well. |
| Field Trip will span: 1 day |
