Abstract

Recent excavations at three prehistoric sites in eastern Idaho recovered a moderate amount of culturally-introduced macrobotanical remains, including mountain ball and prickly pear cactus, goosefoot, sunflower, and tobacco, all of which came from contexts dating between 1500 B.C. and A.D. 1000. Within the greater region, cactus, goosefoot, and sunflower were first used by people between ca. 11,000 and 8500 B.C., whereas the archaeobotanical record for tobacco dates back to 10,300 B.C. The Birch Creek Valley data set allows us to explore aspects of local site function and settlement practices, as well as the temporal range and ubiquity of the above-listed taxa within the northern Intermountain West and adjacent portions of the central Rocky Mountains.

落基山脉中部的土著植物使用:来自爱达荷州东部桦树溪谷三个史前遗址的宏观植物学记录

最近在爱达荷州东部的三个史前遗址的挖掘中发现了适量的文化引入的大型植物遗迹，包括山球和仙人掌，鹅足，向日葵和烟草，所有这些都来自公元前1500年到公元1000年之间的环境。在更大的区域内，仙人掌、雁足和向日葵最早被人们使用是在公元前11000年到8500年之间，而烟草的考古植物学记录可以追溯到公元前10300年。桦树溪谷的数据集使我们能够探索当地遗址的功能和定居实践的各个方面，以及上述分类群在北部山间西部和落基山脉中部邻近部分的时间范围和普遍性。

期刊介绍： Published quarterly, this is the only general journal dedicated solely to North America—with total coverage of archaeological activity in the United States, Canada, and Northern Mexico (excluding Mesoamerica). The North American Archaeologist surveys all aspects of prehistoric and historic archaeology within an evolutionary perspective, from Paleo-Indian studies to industrial sites. It accents the results of Resource Management and Contract Archaeology, the newest growth areas in archaeology, often neglected in other publications. The Journal regularly and reliably publishes work based on activities in state, provincial and local archaeological societies.
