Basic information

Sample name: Jim Pitts

Reference: F. Sellet, J. Donohue, and M. G. Hill. 2009. The Jim Pitts site: a stratified Paleoindian site in the Black Hills of South Dakota. American Antiquity 74(4):735-758 [ER 3181]

Geography

Country: United States

State: South Dakota

Coordinate: 43° 44' N, 103° 50' W

Coordinate basis: based on nearby landmark

Time interval: Holocene

Max Ma: 0.01028

Min Ma: 0.009855

Age basis: radiocarbon (uncalibrated)

Geography comments: located on "US Highway 16 from Jewel Cave to the Wyoming line" and overlooks Gillette Canyon, i.e., west of Custer and close to the Jewel Cave National Monument (basis of coordinate)
there are 24 radiocarbon dates, of which eight are from the bonebed that average 10,185 +/- 25 B.P.; these dates apparently range from 9,855 +/- 245 to 10,280 +/- 200 BP, although only seven fall in this category that are from what appears to be the actual bonebed (based on the provided coordinates) (presumed to be uncalibrated because errors are symmetrically distributed)

•

Environment

Lithology: not described

Taphonomic context: human accumulation

Archaeology: stone tools

Habitat comments: interpreted as "a single occupational event" (meaning a kill site)
there is a large lithic assemblage but no ceramics or structures

Methods

Life forms: ungulates

Sampling methods: quarry

Sample size: 141 specimens

Years: 1992 - 1996

Sampling comments: "faunal remains were mapped in situ" and apparently nothing was recovered by screenwashing
