Abstract

ABSTRACT Charred seeds, including those of goosefoot, amaranth, sedge, and possibly nightshade, were recovered from a Late Paleoindian context at the Bull Creek site in the Oklahoma panhandle. The use of these early successional plant resources at Bull Creek furthers our understanding of Paleoindian subsistence practices on the Plains, where preservation of plant remains is historically under-represented or under-reported. Bull Creek establishes an association between Paleoindians, broad-spectrum hunting, and wild-seed exploitation on the southern High Plains by 10,270 cal BP and documents an early phase of human/plant association in the mid latitudes of North America.

打破保存障碍:在北美高平原10270年历史的壁炉中发现烧焦的种子

摘要：在俄克拉荷马州狭长地带的布尔溪遗址，从古印度晚期的环境中发现了烧焦的种子，包括鹅掌、苋、莎草，可能还有茄。Bull Creek这些早期演替植物资源的使用进一步加深了我们对平原上古印度生存实践的理解，在那里，植物遗骸的保护在历史上被低估或报道不足。Bull Creek通过10270 cal BP在南部高平原建立了古印第安人、广谱狩猎和野生种子开发之间的联系，并记录了北美洲中纬度地区人类/植物联系的早期阶段。

期刊介绍： PaleoAmerica disseminates new research results and ideas about early human dispersal and migrations, with a particular focus on the Americas. It fosters an interdisciplinary dialog between archaeologists, geneticists and other scientists investigating the dispersal of modern humans during the late Pleistocene. The journal has three goals: First and foremost, the journal is a vehicle for the presentation of new research results. Second, it includes editorials on special topics written by leaders in the field. Third, the journal solicits essays covering current debates in the field, the state of research in relevant disciplines, and summaries of new research findings in a particular region, for example Beringia, the Eastern Seaboard or the Southern Cone of South America. Although the journal’s focus is the peopling of the Americas, editorials and research essays also highlight the investigation of early human colonization of empty lands in other areas of the world. As techniques are developing so rapidly, work in other regions can be very relevant to the Americas, so the journal will publish research relating to other regions which has relevance to research on the Americas.
