Micromorphological Analysis of Sediments from Meadowcroft Rockshelter, Pennsylvania: Implications for Radiocarbon Dating

Journal of Field Archaeology (1999)

Paul Goldberg Trina Arpin

AbstractMeadowcroft Rockshelter (36WH297), in Pennsylvannia, is an important site in North American prehistory because of its long continuous sequence of occupation and its controversial pre-Clovis dates. While a geoarchaeological analysis of the site has been conducted over twelve seasons of excavation between 1973 and 1999, questions have remained concerning the potential for groundwater contamination of the lowest levels that could have contributed to falsely early radiocarbon dates. The present study employs a micromorphological analysis of sediments to clarify the depositional and post-depositional history of the site. The results largely confirm the original work of the excavators, pointing to deposition by attrition, roof fall, and sheet wash, and reveal no evidence of groundwater contamination of the early levels.

Petrographic and petrological techniques have been used to examine Neolithic plaster products from several sites in northern Israel. Referring to former studies, the value of different analytical methods for the examination of ancient plasters and mortars is considered. The new data, achieved by the relatively simple method ofpetrographic examination, reveal a different interpretation ofNeolithic craft specialization and cultural interchange. The production methods of architectural plasters, together with plaster products (e.g., beads, figurines, white ware vessels, etc.), differ significantly between sites, even in the limited region of the Israeli Galilee. In most cases, burnt lime was used as a secondary raw material, together with powdered chalk, sand, and clay. In our view, lime burning was a casual, limited activity that did not require intensive labor. Therefore, fulltime specialists would not have been required and, what is more, the complexity ofNeolithic society, based on considerations ofplaster technology, has yet to be clearly demonstrated.
