ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The second season of field work at the Garnsey Bison Kill site was made possible by Federal Antiquities Act Permit 77-NM-037, issued to the University of Michigan by the Department of the Interior and administered by the Bureau of Land Management in the State of New Mexico. We are particularly grateful for the continuing interest shown in the project by Mr. James H. o•connor, District Manager of the BLM in Roswell, and by Ms. Ann Ramage, District Archaeologist. We also would like to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Leo Flynn, BLM Archaeologist in Santa Fe. He played a major role in setting up the initial project and has continued to be extremely helpful throughout the course of the research. We also would like to acknowledge our gratitude to Mr. Dan Harrison of Roswell, discoverer of the site, for his generosity in making available to us for study his personal collection of artifacts from various sites in the area. We would especially like to express our sincerest gratitude to Elmer and Jane Garnsey whose kindness, interest and friendship have made it a genuine pleasure for us to work in the area. There is no way that we can adequately convey how much we have appreciated their hospitality. Richard I. Ford (Ethnobotany), William R. Farrand (Geology) and John Albanese (Geology) have contributed substantially to the success of the project, providing their expertise and assistance in the investigation of the paleoenvironment, stratigraphy and chronology of the Garnsey site. In addition, Dr. Ford, in his capacity as Director of the Museum of Anthropology of the University of Michigan, has been of invaluable help to the project by providing supplemental funds to cover unanticipated field and laboratory expenses, by providing secretarial and student assistance, and by making it possible for us to publish without delay the results of the first season at the Garnsey site in the Technical Reports of the Museum of Anthropology (Speth and Parry 1978). We are delighted to be able to include in the present report the contributions by Michael Wilson on the population dynamics of the Garnsey bison, Regge Wiseman on the ceramics and Danny Walker on the canids. These studies add invaluable depth and breadth to the report. It has been both stimulating and enjoyable for us to have had their participation in the analysis of the Garnsey site. During the course of the project many people have generously assisted us, providing us with unpublished data and manuscripts, access to important local collections, information about other sites of interest in the area and introductions to other archaeologists and environmental specialists concerned particularly with southeastern New Mexico. We are extremely grateful to Gene Bartnicki, Witchita Mountain National Wildlife Refuge, Cache, Oklahoma; Manton Botsford, BLM, Casper, Wyoming; Donald E. Clifton, Aztec, New Mexico; Michael B. Collins, University of Kentucky; George C. Frison, University of Wyoming; David Hughes, University of Oklahoma; Eileen Johnson, Texas Tech University; Randall Jones, Roswell; Jane Holden Kelley, University of Calgary; Marcel Kornfeld, University of Wyoming;

INTRODUCTION

This report summarizes the results of the second season (1978) of archaeological research at the late prehistoric-protohistoric Garnsey Bison Kill site (LA-18399) near Roswell in southeastern New Mexico (see Speth and Parry 1978 for a detailed discussion of the 1977 season). Work at the site was conducted under Federal Antiquities Act Permit 77-NM-037, issued to the University of Michigan by the Department of the Interior and administered by the Bureau of Land Management in the State of New Mexico (Roswell District). Funding for the second season was provided by the National Science Foundation (BNS7806875). The 1978 field season began on June 1 and continued for approximately two and a half months, terminating on August 15. There were 10 crew members throughout most of the season, drawn from as far afield as the University of Massachusetts and the University of Arizona. Efforts were directed simultaneously at two sites, the kill itself and a nearby campsite (Garnsey Spring site, LA-18400) located a few hundred meters to the east. The research in 1978 had several important objectives. The first of these was clarification of the stratigraphy and chronology of the kill site. Field work during the second season examined the stratigraphy in considerably greater detail, focusing specifically on the temporal relationships among bone clusters, and on the degree to which archaeological materials had been subjected to reworking and redeposition. Another objective of the second season's field work was to increase the size of the sample of bison remains from the Garnsey site, and particularly to improve its representativeness and reliability. The combined sample from the two seasons makes it possible to determine, with some degree of confidence, the extent to which specific skeletal elements are under- or over-represented at the site, and to identify recurrent patterns of breakage and disposal. These data, in turn, provide a basis for reconstructing techniques of butchering and on-site processing employed at the Garnsey locality, and to determine which portions of the bison carcasses were removed preferentially from the site for transport elsewhere. The enlarged and more reliable sample of material also provides the basis for investigating the age- and sexstructure of the kill population, and for establishing the seasonality of procurement activities. Work during the 1978 season also sought to determine whether secondary processing activities took place at the nearby Garnsey Spring campsite (the results of the excavations at the campsite will be presented in a later report). Although excavation established that the two sites overlap in time (the campsite has a considerably longer temporal sequence), the campsite does not appear to have been a locus

INTRODUCTION

where major kill-related activities occurred. Instead, it was found that some secondary processing was carried out directly in the wash in a major processing area on the south side of the arroyo. This area contained at least two hearths, each of which was surrounded by a thin apron of ash containing fragmentary ribs and limb elements, many tiny resharpening flakes and other lithic debitage, and several complete and fragmentary tools. The discovery of the processing area provides a clearer picture of the range of activities that were taking place in the Garnsey Wash. This report, like its counterpart for the first season at the Garnsey site (Speth and Parry 1978), attempts to make available as rapidly as possible the data recovered in 1978. The report is divided into two principal sections. The first presents a general synthesis of the most significant aspects of the research to date and pulls together data from both field seasons. This section includes a revised discussion of the stratigraphy and chronology of the site, descriptions of the spatial distribution of faunal remains over the site, estimates of minimum number of individuals, observed versus expected numbers of skeletal elements, summary information on butchering patterns and method of procurement, and so forth. This section also includes a detailed study by Michael Wilson of the 11 Population Dynamics of the Garnsey Site Bison 11 • Wilson's contribution examines the age- and sex-structure of the kill population and the seasonality of procurement activities. Also included in the first section of the report is a detailed discussion of the artifacts and lithic debitage, presenting information on spatial distribution, types of raw material, patterns of edge damage, and so forth. A contribution by Regge N. Wiseman on 11 The Ceramics from the Garnsey Bison Kill Site, Southeastern New Mexico 11 describes the small sherd sample. The second section of the report consists of two substantial appendices and several smaller ones. The first (Appendix A) provides element-by-element measurements and descriptive comments for all of the bison material recovered in 1978 (similar data for the first season are available in Speth and Parry 1978). The second major appendix (Appendix C) provides a complete inventory and detailed, item-by-item measurements for all of the lithic material recovered during both seasons of excavation. The smaller appendices tabulate data on the sex of several bison postcranial elements (Appendix B); fire-cracked rock (Appendix D); preliminary charcoal identification {Appendix E); hackberry seeds (Appendix F); and catalog numbers assigned to the Garnsey material (Appendix G). The final appendix (Appendix H) presents a detailed study by Danny N. Walker of 11 The Garnsey Site Canid 11 • Walker's contribution describes a nearly complete canid skull recovered from one of the major bison bone clusters, and considers the probable relationships of the specimen to local wolf and domestic dog populations.

INTRODUCTION

The same caveat that was made for the first report also applies to the present endeavor. The results presented here are preliminary in nature and undoubtedly will be revised, altered, and in some instances scrapped as analyses are completed and new work is undertaken. It is hoped, however, that this study will contribute to the emerging picture of bison procurement in the southern High Plains.

SITE DESCRIPTION

The Garnsey site is located about 12 miles (20 km) southeast of Chaves County, New Mexico (Fig. 1). The site is situated on Bureau of Land Management land, approximately 0.3 miles (0.6 km) due east of the southeast corner of Bottomless Lakes State Park (SW4 of the SWh of the swa of Section 35, T.ll S. R. 26L, Bottomless Lakes 7.5 Minute Quadrangle, Topographic Series) (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3). Roswell~

The wash that contains the Garnsey site (Garnsey Wash) is one of many similar, dry washes along the eastern edge of the Pecos Valley that drain westward from a low divide at the Llano Estacada or Cap Rock (Kelley 1971). The terrain between the Llano and the Pecos, known as the Mescalero Pediment, has relatively little relief until one reaches the margin of the Pecos Valley where the pediment terminates in sheer cliffs, in places approaching 100 feet (30m) in height. The bedrock exposed in these cliffs (Permian Artesia Group) consists of alternating beds of red, brown and green siltstones and extensive layers of grayish gypsum (Kelley 1971). Along the base of the cliffs and cutting deeply into them are several large, circular or oval sinkholes, filled with deep, freshwater lakes. Six of the lakes are included within the Bottomless Lakes State Park. Dimmitt Lake, which is privately owned, lies just south of the park (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3). The mouth of the Garnsey Wash opens into the Pecos Valley near the southeast boundary of the Park, between Dimmitt and Lea Lakes. The site itself is located between about 350 and 650 m upstream from the mouth. The wash in the area of the site is relatively broad (up to 50 m wide), flat-bottomed and is bounded by 10- to 15-meter high bedrock walls. The average slope of the walls of the wash in most places is between 10° and 25°, and exceeds 45° only for very short stretches. At no place does the slope become vertical for distances of more than a few meters or for heights of more than 2 to 3 m (Figs. 4-8). The bison remains are exposed in the walls of a modern arroyo that is actively incising the alluvial filling of the wash. Major arroyocutting was initiated less than 30 years ago by nearby highway construction (NM 409 or Park Road) that blocked the original westward flow of the wash into Lea Lake and diverted it southward into Dimmitt Lake, thereby shortening and steepening the gradient (William R. Farrand, personal communication; confirmed by New Mexico State Highway Department, Roswell District). This recent arroyo has cut a channel that in places is over 4 m deep and up to 10 m wide. An estimated 50% to 60% of the site already has been destroyed by the arroyo, and erosion continues at a rapid rate. The wash today remains dry throughout most of the year. Water occasionally surges through the arroyo in the form of flash floods after particularly heavy downpours in the spring and late summer, but

SITE DESCRIPTION

standing water seldom remains in the arroyo for more than a few days after a flood. Permanent freshwater is available at nearby Dimmitt Lake and also at a spring that seeps from a low bedrock scarp in the wash about 300m east of the site (Fig. 4). The water from the spring supports a fairly lush growth of grasses and trees in its immediate vicinity, but no water remains on the surface for more than a few meters downstream.

Fig. 8. General view of Garnsey Wash and modern arroyo, facing southeast, showing backfilled excavations at close of 1977 field season.

The vegetation in the wash today undoubtedly has been altered substantially by arroyo-cutting and subsequent lowering of the water table. Overgrazing also has contributed to the reduction of the local vegetation cover. Today the floor of the wash is covered with a relatively sparse growth of sacaton (Sporobolus sp.), grama grasses (Bouteloua sp.), snakeweed (Gutierrezia sp.), occasional prickly pear (Opuntia sp.) and scattered mesquite (Prosopis sp.). Tamarisk (Tamarix sp.) occurs on the floor of the arroyo and near the spring. On the slopes and terraces above the wash the dominant grasses tnclude tobosa (Hilaria sp.), grama (Bouteloua sp.) and curly mesquite (Hilaria sp.) Prickly pear (Opuntia sp.) occurs sporadically. Shrubs, infrequent near the site, include mesquite (Proso is sp.), saltbush (Atriplex sp.), Apache-plume (Fallugia sp.), yucca Yucca sp.) and several others. Other

SITE DESCRIPTION

washes in the area that have not been incised by recent arroyo-cutting support much denser stands of grasses. This is nicely illustrated by Comanche Wash, located only about 7 km (4 miles) north of the Garnsey Wash (Fig. 9).

Fig. 9. Modern vegetation in undissected Comanche Wash (photo taken August 1977).

The majority of bison bones exposed in the walls of the arroyo at the Garnsey site form an irregular and discontinuous layer that varies in depth from about 1.2 to 1.7 m below the surface of the wash. At no point do the remains occur in concentrations approaching the quantities of bone encountered in jump or trap sites in the Northern Plains (cf. Reher 1977). Moreover, bones are not entirely confined to this single layer. Some bison remains occur at shallower depths, but seldom less than about 40 to 50 em below the surface. Occasionally, bones also occur at greater depths, some more than 3 m below the surface and only a few centimeters above the bedrock floor of the wash. These deeply buried specimens generally are isolated occurrences and no major clusters have been encountered at this level. Chronological studies at the site (see below) have shown that the depth of burial of these specimens does not indicate considerable antiquity. They may predate the principal bone-bearing levels by only a few centuries at most.

STRATIGRAPHY

conclude that disturbance in the major excavation units on the north side of the arroyo primarily has involved slumping of material from the banks of the minor channels and limited reworking, which spread bones and artifacts downstream for several meters along the bottoms of the channels.

CHRONOLOGY

As noted above, the majority of bison remains are found in Level B3 of Unit B. The bones occur in spatially discrete clusters or concentrations, separated from each other by zones with few or no remains. The precise stratigraphic relationships among these clusters in Level B3 are exceedingly difficult to establish. Correlation is hampered by frequent lateral facies changes, and particularly, of course, by the presence of the arroyo. It is clear, however, that the major clusters in Level B3 are of approximately the same age. This is demonstrated by the fact that on both sides of the arroyo they are confined stratigraphically to the relatively thin (ca. 0.5 m) bed of alluvium between Paleosol 2 and the contact with Unit A. t~oreover, the coarse nature of the alluvium which forms this portion of Unit B suggests that the total amount of time represented by these deposits is relatively brief. It is also clear, however, that these clusters do not all represent the remains of a single, site-wide procurement event. Detailed examination of the stratigraphy of Level 83 suggests that at least two, and perhaps several different events are involved, although the precise number cannot be established as yet (additional evidence for multiple kill episodes in Level B3 will be presented in a subsequent section). Moreover, the existence of clusters in Level B4, also in Unit B above the paleosol, demonstrates that multiple events occurred at the Garnsey locality within a relatively short period of time. In addition, the remains from Unit A, and from within and below Paleosol 2, testify to the occurrence of still other procurement events in the wash. In order to establish the approximate relationships among the major bone clusters, and to determine the temporal span of bison hunting activities at the Garnsey locality, an extensive program of radiocarbon dating was undertaken. Fourteen bone samples (3 from 1977; 11 from 1978) were submitted to Geochron Laboratories in Cambridge, Massachusetts for analysis. Unfortunately, adequate charcoal samples were not available from most areas of the site, and the few thc:.t were obtained were encountered at the very end of the 1978 season after all available funds for dating had been exhausted. Both gelatin and apatite were dated in most cases. All dates were corrected for C-13 fractionation. This correction was essential to compensate for the presence of C4 plants in the diet of the bison (Bender 1968; Downton 1975; Harold Krueger, personal communication). The uncorrected dates often were several decades or even centuries in the future. The C-13 corrected dates are provided in Table 4. Eleven of the 14 bone samples that were dated derive from the major bone clusters in Level B3. One sample derives from Level 84, one from Level B5 (within Paleosol 2), and one from Level 86 (below Paleosol 2). Several samples suitable for dating were recovered from the youngest deposits at the site (Unit A); however, none of these has been submitted.

In that report it was suggested that sample 0-4/13 (GX-5098-A and GX-5098-G) may have been contaminated with "Elmer's Glue-All", rendering the dates unreliable and too young. Subsequent discussions with chemists at Borden, Inc. indicate that "Elmer's Glue-All" is manufactured from byproducts of natural gas and contains only "dead" carbon. Moreover, Harold Krueger (personal communication) of Geochron Laboratories believes that had glue been present in small to moderate amounts, it would have been removed by standard pretreatment processes. Dates GX-5098-A and GX-5098-G are therefore retained in the present listing.

CHRONOLOGY

The results of the radiocarbon analyses are perplexing, introducing a~most as many problems as they resolve. On the one hand the dates, taken at face value, clearly establish the relatively late age of the Garnsey site, placing the major procurement activities of Unit B between about A.D. 1360 (ignoring GX-5684-A) and A.D. 1840 (ignoring 11 modern 11 dates). If MASCA corrections are applied, the range is narrowed slightly to between about A.D. 1360 and A.D. 1710 or 1790 (Ralph et al. 1973). Moreover, the results indicate that much of the alluvial sequence exposed at th~ Garnsey site was deposited within a relatively brief span of time. The two most deeply buried specimens (one from Paleosol 2; the other from just above Paleosol 3) yielded dates which are virtually identical to each other, and which both fall squarely within the range indicated for the principal bone clusters in Unit B above the second paleosol. On the other hand, the dates show no apparent correlation with the stratigraphy. Moreover, the spread of dates within bone clusters, including those from clusters on the south side of the arroyo, is as great as the spread among clusters. Thus, for example, the cluster in Squares 519S589W and 519S590W (Trench 78-6) has a range (not MASCAcorrected) of nearly 400 years, from A.D. 1358 to A.D. 1718. The cluster in Squares 0-4, P-2 and P-3 (Trench 77-2) also has a range (not MASCAcorrected) of 400 years, from A.D. 1445 to A.D. 1842. If these dates are accepted at face value, one is forced to conclude that t~e clusters in Level B3 represent accumulations of bone reworked from upstream deposits which span at least 400 years. This conclusion is difficult to accept for reasons which have been outlined in the preceding section. There appears to be no simple explanation for the unexpectedly high within-cluster spread of the radiocarbon dates. Perhaps the spread is linked in some manner to the unusually pronounced variations in atmospheric radiocarbon levels which are known to have occurred during the past five centuries (cf. Ralph et al. 1973; Stuiver 1978). Or perhaps the difficulty stems directly from unresolved problems in the dating of bone. Whatever its source, the spread of dates within clusters that are believed to be the undisturbed remains of single events poses a serious obstacle to assessing accurately the age of the Garnsey site, and it rules out any possibility of ordering individual clusters in time. Until a better procedure can be worked out, a somewhat less-than-ideal approach has been chosen to provide what hopefully is at least a reasonable approximation for the age of the site. First, weighted averages and standard deviations have been calculated for groups of dates that on archaeological grounds appear to represent single events (e.g., all dates from the bone cluster in Squares 519S589-590W or Trench 78-6; all dates from th~ cluster in Squares 0-4, P-2 and P-3 or Trench 77-2; and so forth; see Table 5) (Long and Rippeteau 1974; Davies 1961 :133). Each weighted average was then expressed as an age range, determined by adding and subtracting the appropriate standard deviation. The endpoints of each range were adjusted using MASCA corrections (Ralph et al. 1973). Finally, each MASCA-corrected range was plotted on a graph. The most probable age

THE GARNSEY BISON

recovered in 1977. This difference is due almost entirely to the inclusion in the 1978 tallies of materials from a processing area on the south side of the arroyo (Trenches 78-2 and 78-4). Almost all of the bone from this area was highly fragmented. Many of the fragments were identifiable as ribs, thereby inflating the 1978 values for category 17 as well. Table 7 provides an inventory of bison remains (complete and fragmentary) by stratigraphic level (Al through 86). Unlike Table 6, this table includes only materials recovered from the major excavation units (Trenches 77-1, 77-2, 78-1, 78-2, 78-4, 78-5, 78-6, 78-7; no material was recovered from 78-3; see Fig. 10 for location of units). Remains salvaged from the walls of the arroyo (N = 146) and backdirt items with no provenience (N = 13) have not been included. Exclusion of arroyo items reduces the sample size of Levels B5 and 86, since these levels were encountered primarily in the deep arroyo exposures. The majority of arroyo items, ho\'!ever, are attributable to Level 83. As noted earlier only a few items, all from the processing area on the south side of the arroyo (Trench 78-4), are attributable to Level Al. The existence of very shallow remains farther upstream, however, may indicate that events equivalent in age to Level Al may have occurred elsewhere in the wash. Minimum Number of Individuals The minimum number of individuals (MNI) has been determined by dividing the number of each specific eZement recovered archaeologically by the number of that element in the animal. The results are presented in Table 8. The table presents MNI estimates for 1977 and 1978 separately, as well as MNI estimates for the two seasons combined. Table 8 differs from its counterpart in Speth and Parry (1978:22) in two major respects. First, the distinction made in the previous report between material on the north and south sides of the arroyo has been dropped in the present tabu,lation. Second, the previous listing made no attempt to provide MNI estimates based on different parts of the same element. The present tabulations have been expanded substantially to include MNI estimates based on both proximal and distal portions of limb elements. Values used for the expected number of elements in the skeleton of the bison are based on figures provided by Olsen (1960). The expected number of caudal vertebrae presented the only problem. White (1956:402) gives a value between 12 and 14. His figures for the expected number of lumbar and thoracic (dorsal) vertebrae are incorrect, however, rendering his figure for caudals questionable. Frison (personal communication) suggests that a figure between 10 and 12 is more plausible. A value of 10 has been used in the present MNI estimates. The best estimate for the minimum number of individuals recovered in the two seasons of excavation at the Garnsey site is 35, based on the skulls (see Table 8; all stratigraphic levels, all excavation units and all arroyo materials were used in arriving at this figure). Higher estimates would be obtained if: (1) each stratigraphic level were 48

THE GARNSEY BISON

Sex The sex of the Garnsey cranial material was most readily determined with the transverse horn-core diameters and the cranial widths (Measurements 12 and 14, respectively, of Skinner and Kaisen 1947). Other measurements also proved useful in certain cases (e.g., Measurement 8, Greatest Width at Auditory Openings). r1andibles were sexed using the mandibular width below M3 as described by Reher (1974), and the distance from the posterior of M3 to the posterior edge of the articulating process (r~easurement 13, as described by Shackleton et al. 1975:872). Based on the skulls, maZes outnumber females by a ratio of 60:40 (Table 13). Based on mandibles, females outnumber males by a ratio of nearly 60:40 (Table 13). Eleven postcranial elements have been sexed using crossplots of various metric attributes and ratios (see Appendix B for details). In nine of the elements, females outnumber males (Table 13). In two cases (axis and ulna) the ratio is 50:50. In no cases do males outnumber females. The striking disparity in the sex ratio between skulls and other skeletal elements is not likely to be an artifact of sampling bias, nor does it reflect problems in sexing the postcranial material. Smiley (1979), using a totally independent set of measurements, arrived at virtually identical sex determinations for various limb elements from the Garnsey site. If anything, there should be a bias in the present sex determinations in favor of males rather than females. For example, fragmentary limb elements, in which the degree of fusion of the epiphyses is unknown, can be sexed as male if the requisite metric attributes fall clearly within the male mode. Such specimens, however, cannot be classified as female if they fall within the female mode, because they may represent immature males. Thus, fragmentary female specimens are more likely to be excluded than fragmentary male specimens. Table 14 summarizes the data by provenience for sexed cranial and postcranial material in Level B3. ThE! spatial distribution of sexed elements in this level is illustrated in Figs. 39 and 40. The sample of material from the processing area in Level B3 (Trenches 78-2 and 78-4), and from all proveniences in other stratigraphic levels, is too small to warrant illustration. Considering first the data for skulls in Table 14, the preponderance of maZe crania on the south side of the arroyo is apparent. The higher proportion of female crania on the north side may reflect a real difference between the two sides of the arroyo but could also be an artifact of small sample size. Turning to the much larger sample of postcranial material, female elements tend to outnumber male elements on both sides of the arroyo, but the ratio on the north is noticeably higher (73:27) than on the south (56:44; using the combined data from Trenches 77-2, 78-6 and 78-7).

POPULATION DYNAMICS OF THE GARNSEY SITE BISON

Although Brumley (pers. comm. 1979) now accepts the use of dentitions in seasonality determination, his skeptical comments remain on record, influencing researchers. It is important that they be discussed here. Recent summaries of theory and technique (Frison l978a, 1978b) and comparison of dentitions at the Big Goose Creek kill/campsite complex in Wyoming (Frison et al. 1978:29-31) provide empirical support, through addition of modern comparative data and testing of archaeological samples. These were unavailable to Brumley (1973), but early theoretical works on population dynamics (Voorhies 1969; Reher 1970) indicate a flaw in analysis led to his skepticism. While visual comparison of eruption/wear can allow estimation of seasonality, it is a ponderous task with raw data difficult to quantify. Wear-facet description (Frison et al. 1976) improved the situation but difficulties in cluster analysis and data portrayal remain. Resolution lies in the long-documented technique of metaconid height measurement as the initial- analytic step. Metaconid measurements can be manipulated easily by statistical means. In a catastrophic kill, existence of seasonality is shown by periodicity of metaconid heights, which form a series of evenly spaced peaks. Determination of the season is thus not a prerequisite to demonstration of the fact of seasonality. To suggest that the technique does not work flies in the face of clear indications that seasonality is there (Voorhies 1969; Reher 1970, 1974). A skeptic must provide an explanation for the demonstrated periodicity in these samples. If these are not seasonally restricted annual peaks -- the first few shown to be at yearly intervals, based on data from modern herds -- what are they? In being skeptical, Brumley (1973) threw the baby out with the bathwater. He did not measure metaconids in the 24HL101 sample. He therefore had not first shown that seasonality was indicated in the sample; and if this had not been done, it was pointless to go further and try to determine the season, except in a very general way. This could provide an answer, but certainly did not constitute a test. Absence of clusters in the sample would have supported the multiple season/one layer hypothesis, an important factor in need of additional study (see, for instance, comments by Albanese in Davis 1978:289). Age groups based upon mandibular dentitions from Garnsey are shown in Fig. 42. This distribution is apparently bimodal, although the low number of individuals per age group must be emphasized. Given the relatively high percentage of prime adult individuals, the distribution resembles catastrophic rather than attritional curves (Reher 1974:118). 11

11

A plot of metaconid height versus age (using means for age groups) shows fairly regular molar attrition (Fig. 43), but accelerated wear on M? and M3 is noted after cupping of antecedent teeth (M 1 , M?). Since tne metaconid is in the preselenid of each tooth, I hypothesize that breakdown of a given molar results in increased vulnerability of the following preselenid. Cupping of M1 is followed by increased wear of M2 , then M~; while cupping of M? again causes increased wear on M~. This could reflect a realignment of the entire attritional surface to a new and even plane, since cupping creates a temporary depression locally. 97

Age Group Fig. 42. Age-group distribution of mandiHle-based individuals at the Garnsey site. The rate of M1 attrition at Garnsey over 10 documented years is 5.24 mm/yr. That of M2 over 9 years is 6.94 mm/yr; and that for M3 over 9 years is 5.71 mm/yr. If only the skeletally adult groups (7-13 in this case, since 6 is an empty set) are considered, M1 wear slows to 3. 73 mm/yr over 5 years, but M2 wear remains at 6. 64 mm/yr over 5 years and M3 wear rises to 7.63 mm/yr over 6 years. These rates are higher than rates documented for other kills by Reher (1974:120). Reher found the fo 11 owing: Several lines of evidence suggest to the writer that the Casper Site Bison antiguus population was under greater stress and selective pressure than the Bison bison populations. Greater rates of tooth wear are evident in the Casper Site population which is certainly contra-survival in a grazing animal. At Wardell and Glenrock mature animals averaged 3.3 and

Data

3.2 mm of molar tooth wear per year, respectively. The Casper Site specimens averaged 4.2 mm· of molar tooth wear per year and ranged as high as 5.6 mm. Average annual attrition on all three molars at Garnsey is 5.96 mm/yr if all available age groups are considered, and a surprisingly close 6.00 mm/yr if only skeletally adult groups are considered. The fact that this is slightly higher than the Casper reading, and markedly higher than in the two Late Prehistoric kills (Glenrock and Wardell), suggests thdt the Garnsey animals were grazing on more abrasive forage than their contemporaries in Wyoming. In view of the fact that Garnsey is marginal to the known historic bison range, this is extremely plausible; forage quality has been demonstrated by Reher (1978a, 1978b) to be an important constraint upon bison populations. Heavy attrition at Casper could also reflect less than optimum forage conditions (Reher 1974: 120-24; personal communication 1979) in analogy w·;th the Garnsey case. Lower molar attrition at the Paleo-Indian Horner site, Wyoming (8800 years B.P.) was similarly high at 5.4 mm/yr (Todd and Hofman 1978:69), perhaps for similar reasons. The Horner site lies in the Big Horn Basin, a rainshadow area which has probably not seen particularly favorable grazing conditions more than a few times during the Holocene. 99

8.

POPULATION DYNAMICS OF THE GARNSEY SITE BISON

As at Casper, life expectancy at Garnsey was on the order of 12 years, whereas at Wardell and Glenrock reduced attrition allowed survival to at least 16.4 and 14.5 years, respectively. Individual Age and Age-Group Distributions: Maxillae. Most maxillae in the sample were present as pairs, although a few isolated specimens were present in younger age groups. These could be determined to be from different individuals on the basis of dental size and morphology. As in the case of mandibles, enamel heights were used as the initial grouping device: paracone heights of Ml, M2 and M3 were measured. As in the case of mandibular teeth, a stepwise distribution (particularly in lower ages) is apparent (Table 18, Fig. 44). The hypothesis that this was because of the presence of annual groups was tested through examination of the state of eruption and wear. As with mandibular teeth, the maxillary teeth suggest that the Casper and Garn~ey sites differ in seasonality. In Garnsey 2.0-year-olds, for instance, M is unerupted and well below the level of the alveolus.

POPULATION DYNAMICS OF THE GARNSEY SITE BISON

M2 is in wear on the preselene, but only slightly on the postselene at Garnsey. In Casper 2.6-year-olds, M2 wear is slightly more advanced, being light only on facets VII-VIII of the postselene; and eruption of M3 is well under way. Casper 2.6-year-olds show very slight or no wear on the preselene of M3, but in the next group up in the Garnsey sample (3.0 yr) all facets of M3 are in wear, with light wear on VII-VIII. Thus the groups from the two sites are out of step, and a separation of at least a few months is indicated by the extent of wear. The age groups of maxillae from the Garnsey site are as follows: Group 1 (0.0 yr):

No specimens available.

Group 2 (1.0 yr):

No specimens available.

Group 3 (2.0 yr): op2-4 enamel bases are above alveolus. op2 is worn flat; p2 is unerupted in bud below. op3 is worn nearly flat to completely flat, and in most specimens is beginning to cup in preselene. p3 unerupted in bud below. op4 weakly bilophodont to moderately bilophodont; interfossette may still be present; entostyle is a loop joined to main occlusal surface. Ml enamel base well below alveolus; tooth strongly bilophodont; entostyle unworn but barely below level of occlusal surface and may show polish on tip. M2 enamel base well below alveolus; tooth strongly bilophodont; entostyle below or barely visible at alveolus. M3 unerupted in bud. Group 4 (3.0 yr): p2-4 all recently erupted and moderately to strongly peaked; wear facets on p4 are all joined into one occlusal surface. Ml enamel base barely at or slightly below level of alveolus; tooth weakly to moderately bilophodont; entostyle worn to loop and joined to main occlusal surface.

M3 worn flat;

From this exercise it is clear that upper dentitions can be used as well as lowers to provide an idea of the age-group distribution. Wear facet condition in maxillae is summarized in Table 19. Difficulties with the uppers result in part from the fact that M3 has no third loph comparable to the hypoconulid of M3; the latter (wear facets IX-IX') can be extremely useful in the segregation of groups. In upper dentitions at a comparable stage of eruption and wear to lower groups where IX-IX' are critical, the only guide is overall crown height--a less defi ni ti ve criterion at times. 11

Like the age-group distribution of mandible-based individuals, that based upon maxillae is bimodal (Fig. 45). Once again, 11 prime adult'' individuals (of both sexes) are well represented, and the distribution resembles catastrophic rather than attritional curves.

Age Group Fig. 45. Age-group distribution of maxilla-based individuals at the Garnsey site. A plot of paracone height versus age (based upon means for age groups) shows fairly regular attrition of molars (Fig. 46), with minor perturbations in the curves causld by small sample size and variability in the age at which cupping of M occurred. The onset of cupping seems slightly more variable in timing as far as uppers are concerned, but the small sample size in both uppers and lowers makes any inference along this line unwise at this time. The rate of Ml attrition at Garnsey over 8 documented years is 5.32 mm/yr. That of M2 over 8 years is 6.65 mm/yr; and that for M3 over a period of 8 years is 6.41 mm/yr. These figures are extremely close to those determined for lower molars. If the skeletally adult groups (6-12) are considered, Ml wear slows to 3.48 mm/yr over 5 years, M2 slows to 5.42 mm/yr over 5 years, and M3 wear slows to 5.89 mm/yr over 6 years. Average annual attrition on all three upper molars is 6.13 mm/yr if all available age groups are considered, and 4.93 mm/yr if only skeletally adult groups are considered.

Age Group Fig. 46. Mean paracone heights of upper molars by age groups. are from Table 18.

Data

Upper molar groups confirm that life expectancy at Garnsey was not much more than 12 years; one or two edentulous skulls (postmortem tooth loss) may represent Age Group 13, as is documented already by mandibles. Cranial Characters and Age Groups. Although many of the crania from the Garnsey site had associated dentitions, a residue remained including frontlets, partial frontlets, and edentulous (postmortem tooth loss) maxillae with or without associated frontlets. An attempt was made to assign at least some of these to age groups on the basis of alternative characteristics. In addition, individuals of known age (from dentition) were described as to the development of the characters in question, to provide a comparative base. The first character investigated was palatal breadth, a measurement not used by Skinner and Kaisen (1947). Studies of European bison by Empel (1962) and Krysiak and Swiezynski (1967) have demonstrated that width measurements from the skull are the most useful indicators of sex. Graphs of cranial width against age also show considerable utility in aging, since lateral expansion is great in the early age groups (Empel 1962:90; Wilson 1975:239-244). For the present study the width of the palate between Ml entostyles was chosen (Table 20, Fig. 47). The measurement proved useful in segregating Age Groups 2 and 3, between which there was no overlap. To a lesser extent sexual dimorphism was 107

8.

POPULATION DYNAMICS OF THE GARNSEY SITE BISON

reflected, although overlap was present. Regrettably, many of the older males in the sample lacked maxillae, so that their sample for this measurement was small. Palatal breadth therefore helped to demonstrate the discreteness of Age Groups 2 and 3, but did not add to our knowledge of age groups in older animals. Three very old, edentulous (postmortem tooth less) individuals were assigned a tentative age of 12 years (Age Group 13) on the basis of the fact that all molars had erupted to the point that enamel bases were above the alveoli; and because Ml root alveoli were becoming very shallow, indicating imminent shedding of the tooth. These three individuals could not be assigned more closely on the basis of palatal breadth. From Fig. 47, it appears that significant lateral expansion of the palate ceases at about age 4 or 5 years.

POPULATION DYNAMICS OF THE GARNSEY SITE BISON

These authors found that the states of fusion of the parietofrontal and interfrontal sutures were useful in distinguishing subadult males from adults, the dividing line being set at 5.5 years. Fusion of the parietofronta 1 sutures began in a number of 4.5-year-old males from Elk Island, but did not extend along the common frontal suture until the males were 5.5 years of age ..•. Fusion of sutures was not as useful a criteria [sic] for separating female age classes. Fusion of the parietofrontal and frontal sutures is varied between females and does not appear to start until the animal is at least 5.5 years of age. For the archaeologist wishing to age kill-site samples to estimate the season of the kill, the biological importance of separating females older than 3.5 years may be limited (1975:880-881). Rather than restrict my attention to these two sutures, I chose a series of easily visible sutures in the occipital area, for which variations in the extent of closure were clearly visible in the Garnsey sample. Sutures selected included the interfrontal, parietofrontal, temporooccipital, exoccipital-supraoccipital and interexoccipital, plus the spheno-occipital suture or synchondrosis. The interfrontal suture was evenly divided into posterior and anterior halves; the parietofrontal was divided into dorsal and lateral portions (see Table 21 and Fig. 48). My findings with respect to parietofrontal dorsal and interfrontal sutures are similar to those of Shackleton et al. (1975). Fusion of parietofrontal dorsal in males began at 4 years, and was complete in a 7-year-old. In females it began at 6 years and was complete in one 8-year-old, while still partial in a 10-year-old. Partial fusion of the interfrontal posterior was noted in a 7-year-old male, with complete fusion of this zone in a 10-year-old; but the absence of adequate crania of 5 and 6-year-old males prevents closer estimation of the onset of fusion. In females partial fusion of the interfrontal posterior was observed in one 6-year-old and an 8-year-old, but the suture was open in another 6-year-old, a 7-year-old, and even a 10-year-old. Apart from the minimum date for first onset of fusion in some individuals, therefore, fusion of parietofrontal dorsal and interfrontal sutures is not very helpful as a guide to individual age. In males, partial fusion of the parietofrontal dorsal indicates a 4-year-old or older; in females a 5.5-year-old or older (cf. Shackleton et al. 1975). Other cranial sutures are useful in lower age groups. At Garnsey the interexoccipital suture remained wide open in 2-year-olds. In 3-year-old males partial fusion was noted, at the ventral end of the suture next to the foramen magnum. In a 3-year-old female the suture was fully fused. Similarly, the spheno-occipital suture or synchondrosis

113

8.

POPULATION DYNAMICS OF THE GARNSEY SITE BISON

was wide open in 2-year-olds, but fused completely in 3-year-old females. In 3-year-old males partial fusion with an easily visible line was observed. In 2-year-olds, the exoccipital-supraocci pital suture was wide open; while in a 3-year-old female it was partially fused. In males the suture remained open in 3-year-olds but was fused by 4 years. A difference of approximately one year is therefore apparent between the sexes in fusion of the exoccipital-supraocc ipital suture. On the basis of these data it appears that females precede males in the fusion of occipital sutures, whereas males precede females in the fusion of parietofrontal and perhaps interfrontal sutures. Early fusion of parietofrontals in males may reflect a greater need for structural rigidity in support of the larger horn-cores. The general agreement between my findings and those of Shackleton et al. (1975) as to the timing of parietofrontal fusion provides independent support for the age determination of the Garnsey site bison by dental eruption and wear. The critical importance of such an independent verification cannot be denied. Aging of crania on the basis of suture closure adds one 1-year-old (Group 2) to the count of individuals shown in Fig. 45. Age-Group Distribution at Garnsey: Discussion. Age-Group distribution curves based on Garnsey site mandibles and maxillae differ slightly in sample size, but agree in the presence of bimodality. The curves, being from a small sample, partially complement one another. While several groups are better represented by maxillae, the 6-year-olds (Group 7) are better represented by mandibles, as are Groups 1 and 2. Using the largest available minimum count of individuals per age group combined into a single curve, we can therefore produce a more accurate portrayal of the overall Age-Group distribution (Fig. 49). The combined curve remains bimodal, with peaks at 3 and 7 years. The strong peak at 7 years suggests that we are not dealing with a situation of attritional natural mortality, as 7 years (even with accelerated molar attrition) seems far too young for the onset of mortality through lowered condition in advanced age 11 • Survivorship curves based upon catastrophic mortality situations at other bison kills drop off steeply after 10 to 13 years of age, indicating senescence at this point (Reher 1974:120). 11

Interpretation of the combined curve could go in at least three directions. One avenue would be based upon a belief that all of the observed Age-Group pattern is ascribable to sampling error in an admittedly small sample. While this is possible it is notable that bimodality showed up in both the mandible and maxilla samples, even though material was widely scattered in the site, only a portion of the site was excavated, and only two maxillae could clearly be associated with mandibles. Furthermore, bimodality at Garnsey was similar in the

114

two tests and was accentuated (not lessened) by a merger of the results. If sampling error was the case, the expectation would be that bimodality would be lessened by a merger.

Fig. 49. Age-Group distribution of bison at the Garnsey site based on combined information from mandibles and maxillae (minimum number of individuals indicated on vertical axis). A second avenue of interpretation for the Garnsey site sample is that the observed bimodality is the result of cultural selection. Bimodality would in this case be ascribed to differential removal of animals of specific age or sex. Differential removal has been hypothesized to account for the underrepresentation of the youngest age group or groups at most kill sites: juvenile animals and especially calves are almost universally underrepresented in kill sites .... Data on bison weights indicate that these animals could have been reduced to more easily portable packets with a minimum of field dressing and quartering .... In some kill situations removal of these animals would have facilitated efficient butchering of the mature animals which produced the largest meat packets (Reher 1974:117-122).

115

POPULATION DYNAMICS OF THE GARNSEY SITE BISON

This mechanism would account for the low recovery of neonates and yearlings from the Garnsey site. However, it is equally possible that many of the neonates were lost during the drive itself, because they were unable to keep up with the herd. Yearlings should have had no difficulty in this regard, and their underrepresentation, as at Garnsey, could be the result of cultural processes. It is more difficult to attrfbute the low frequency of 4-year-olds and 5-year-olds to cultural selection. In this respect the Garnsey sample differs markedly from the Glenrock and Wardell samples (Reher 1974:118). The Casper site population is low in 3.6 and 4.6-year-olds, but the previous two age groups are similarly underrepresented, unlike the situation at Garnsey. Similarity exists between the curves at Garnsey and the Hawken site (Frison et al. 1976:41), although at Hawken the bimodality is relatively weak. The most interesting similarities between the two involve the regular rise in number of individuals from Age Group 5 to Age Group 7, fo 11 owed by a drop (Fig. 49, 50), and the fact that the bimodality is therefore reflected by nearly the same age groups in the two samples. The Horner site curve (Todd and Hofman 1978:76) is also similar, with peaks in Groups 2, 5, and 9.

POPULATION DYNAmcs OF THE GARNSEY SITE BISON

Th~ third avenue of interpretation considers these similarities, and while hypothetical, may be the most productive. This avenue investigates the possibility that multiple kills are represented; and that despite common seasonality, these kills can be distinguished on the basis of the unusual age-group distribution. Specifically, bimodality is viewed as the product of two superimposed catastrophic curves, one representing a cow-calf nursery herd, and the oth~r representing one or more bull groups.

ThE! 1a rge nursery herds, called "cow groups" (McHugh 1958: 14-15) do not in modern herds ever show a predominance of males. During the rut as high as 44% males are present, but even th~se remain peripheral to the main herd. It is debatable whether peripheral males at this season would respond to a drive attempt in the same way as the females and juveniles. Outside the rut, the percentage of males drops as low as 17%, most of them being juveniles or subadults up to approximately 4.5 years of age. Cow groups were probably more easily driven than bull groups; and most archaeological kill-site populations have resembled cow groups. At Casper, for instance, the sample included only 4 mature males (5.2%) of a total of 77 individuals (Wilson 1974:132). Of the calves, another 4 were probably males, doubling the percentage to 10.4%. Even if some male calves had been lost due to sampling error, attainment of the 17% figure for all males would be unlikely. Sampling error would probably mean that some females had been missed as well, moderating the effect on percentages. Attainment of the 17% level would require that 5 or 6 males in the recovered sample had been misidentified, a near impossibility given the strong sexual dimorphism in adult and subadult crania, and given the independent confirmation from metapodial dimorphism. Based upon postcranial material, the Garnsey site contains approximately a 60:40 ratio of females to males (Speth and Parry, this volume, Table 13). A proportion of 40% males agrees with that seen in the peak of the rutting season, but there is compelling evidence that Garnsey was a spring kill, both from dentitions and from the presence of neonates. Thus it cannot be viewed as a rutting herd, and the frequency of males is apparently too high for a spring single-herd event. The mere presence of a large number of males therefore suggests drives of one or more bull groups in addition to a cow group. The question, then, is whether this might relate directly to the observed bimodality in the age-group distribution. The key lies in the fact that bull groups are effectively restricted to mature animals. A hypothetical catastrophic curve for a population with males and females in shown in Fig. 5la (after Reher 1974:118). When adult males are excluded, as in nursery herds, the herd population curve (as opposed to the overall population curve of the deme) should exhibit a rapid

This would reflect expulsion of adult males to smaller bull groups and their isolation from nursery herds for much of the year (Fig. 5lb). If a bull group (Fig. 5lc) equal in size to that element missing nursery herd were driven to the same site as the nursery herd the from result should be an apparently ordinary catastroph1c curve the kill, as in Fig. 5la. If a larger bull group or a series of bull groups were driven to the kill, the result would be augmentation of the upper age groups, giving a bimodal curve (Fig. 5ld). The key, therefore, is the killing of more males than are necessary to fill out the nursery

herd curve to "normal population" status. Significantly, bimodality of this sort occurs at Garnsey and Hawken, two sites that are also uncommonly rich in male crania. Their bimodality is similar, though not identical, in age distribution with that of the model. Hawken is likely a multiple kill on stratigraphic grounds(Frison et al. 1976:37). At the Horner site, males were not well represented: only 12% were males in the mature class (Todd and Hofman 1978:99). It is my feeling at this time that the Garnsey population curve most likely reflects this third hypothesis: that a number of seasonally inseparable kills are represented, and that one or more of these consisted of adult bulls. The strength of the bimodality could well be evidence for multiple kills of bull groups. This finding, if supported by further sampling, is significant in demonstrating repeated use of a single kill locality over a seasonally limited period of time. This suggests a drive tradition rather than a "situational" kill of animals observed in a "set-up" situation. It suggests the ability of the hunters to drive animals in a preselected direction and distance, since it is unlikely that all herds were driven from precisely the same spot. It also serves as a warning that any observed "differential treatment" of crania or other elements during butchering may relate to different kills and processing events rather than selective processes within a single event. · A case can be made for hunters having had a preference for the meat of cows and calves. Many references refer to bulls as being sinewy (an advantage in some cases, where sinew was sought) and tough. Furthermore, if the brain was required for use in hide-processing or as food, skulls of cows--even mature cows--are much more easily broken than those of bulls. Numerous arguments relating to specific processing goals have been and could doubtless be made that would favor cows and calves. Should such a preference prove to have operated, it could be hypothesized that the driving of males from bull groups would be more frequent in marginal situations where bison were not numerous and the choice of herds was limited. Data along these lines should be sought, for both Garnsey and Hawken could reflect situations of limited choice-Garnsey because of its geographical location w·ith respect to the bison range, and Hawken because of its temporal position within a climatically stressful interval. Seasonality of the Garnsey Site Introduction. Clustering of Garnsey site individuals into agegroups with demonstrable discontinuities indicates a seasonally restricted series of events. Comparison of the sample with those already described from Glenrock (Frison and Reher 1970; Reher 1970), Wardell (Reher 1973},

Casper, (Reher 1974; Wilson 1974), Hawken (Frison et al. 1976), and Big Goose Creek, Wyoming (Frison et al. 1978) as well as modern samples (Frison and Reher 1970; Brumley 1973; Bartnicki 1978) allows close determination of the season of the kills. Happily, the Garnsey sample falls within a seasonal period not well represented to date, thereby demonstrating that it is possible to reach a conclusion other than the late summer/fall/earlywinter period using dental characteristics. While this seems altogether reasonable, if not self-evident, I feel that it is worthy of discussion. In private discussions a number of my colleagues have been surprisingly skeptical of the use of dentitions in determination of seasonality. The published feelings of Brumley (1973) have already been considered above, and I find his misgivings premature. Others have suggested that the tight clustering of dentitions "claimed" by Reher_, Frison, and myself in various articles is "too good", and thus there must be something fishy. One suggested that early calves probably grew more slowly than normal, while late calves grew faster than normal-thus giving an "artificial" cluster by the time fall rolled around. I can only point out that this would not negate the determination of seasonality, though it might make determination of some seasons difficult. Furthermore, if the latter was the case, those samples would be intractable because they wouZd not exhibit cl-ustering_, and as mentioned earlier, the presence of clusters has been clearly demonstrated in several site samples. I find the differential growth hypothesis rather far-fetched at this time, and mention it only because it was suggested to me in public at a meeting, in discussion of a paper. Other authors have attempted to refute the "contention that buffalo jumps were only conducted in the fall" by presenting historical and archaeological evidence that other seasons were used as well. One goal seems to be to prove that since the archaeological data have indicated fa 11 kills too many times, they conflict with historic evidence and therefore must be erroneous. It should already be evident that published findings to date range from summer through late winter--a fair range of variation considering the small number of detailed studies conducted to date. It must also be pointed out that few, if any authors have in fact.claimed that bison jumps were restrictedto the fall, though I have seen suggestions by several that the fall was the prime season for bison drives. Proof that bison drives were run in winter does not negate this, and historic documents listing winter as the prime season for driving relate to specific plains-marginal areas (parklands). They may or may not relate to open plains situations well into the Great Plains. To date, I have seen no conclusive "refutation" of the hypothesized fall emphasis, nor do I see any major disagreement between historic evidence for winter drives and archaeological evidence for summer, fall, and winter drives. Garnsey adds spring to the archaeological documentation, which in all truth now seems to be more liberal in terms of time-of-year assignment than the supposed winter emphasis claimed on the basis of sacred historic documents.

Reher (1974:122), following a path blazed by Frison (1967), provided a rational explanation for what could have been a fall emphasis in the high plains of Wyoming and adjacent states: The main purpose of the fall communal kill was to obtain large packets of meat which could have been processed for winter storage. It also seems reasonable that processing hides for winter clothing would have been important .... During frequent periods of the Plains winter, snow and intense cold restrict any subsistenceoriented mobility.. . . It is during such periods that the stored meat obtained from the communal bison kills would have become a critical resource in the strictest ecological sense of the word. Elsewhere than in Wyoming, bison may have been a critical resource at slightly different seasons. If bison were seasonally absent from an area, drives might have become intensified in the period immediately prior to their movement onto other ranges,so that stored meat could be used (frozen or dried meat) during their absence for as long as possible. This argument could apply at Garnsey (a spring kill) as easily as in the Canadian parklands, where winter kills fill the historic documents (Arthur 1975). Dental Evidence for Seasonality. Various authors have used the ratio of males to females, and the presence or absence of fetal remains, to indicate seasonality. The absence of fetuses or the presence of only a small number is specifically problematic inasmuch as fetuses could have been selectively removed from sites for processing elsewhere. It is therefore important that we investigate dental eruption and wear. This allows more than one age group to be used, since eruption continues into the fourth year. Determination of this seasonality is based upon a comparison with dentitions from modern animals of known age, and such samples are being augmented significantly in the collections of the Department of Anthropology, the University of Wyoming, through the efforts of George C. Frison, Charles A. Reher, George M. Zeimens, and their associates. Interpretation of the Garnsey sample followed detailed description of eruption state and of the wear on various dental crown facets, and description of a grab-sample of a portion of the extensive Wyoming collection of December-killed animals. The latter sample was donated by Pete ( Bison Pete Gardner of Wheatland, Wyoming, and consisted of mandibles largely from immature bulls killed over a period of several years (Table 22). The eruption characteristics of this sample were nearly equivalent to those of the Hawken site sample described by Frison et al. (1976:39-40). Those of the Garnsey site sample have already been presented in the ag.e-group descriptions in the Population Dynamics section 11

(see above). Garnsey dentitions fall near Hawken age groups in terms of eruption. For instance, in Group 1 (0. 7 yr) at Hawken, M2 is unerupted, though visible in an opening behind M1. In Group 2 at Hawken (1.7 yr) M2 is erupted and starting to wear, while M3 is visible in an opening behind M2, though unerupted (ibid.:39). In Group 2 at Garnsey (1 .0 yr) M2 is unerupted; while in Group 3 (2.0 yr) M2 shows wear on all facets and M3 is unerupted. Group 3 at Garnsey is therefore not far enough beyond Group 2 at Hawken to display a difference in eruption, but it is far enough to show a considerable difference in wear. A slight difference in the state of eruption is noted between Group 3 at Hawken (2.7 yr) and Group 4 at Garnsey (3.0 yr). In the Hawken group, M3 is nearly fully erupted but the hypoconulid is still below the level of the alveolus. Only the most anterior facets of the tooth are worn. In the slightly older Garnsey individuals, the M3 hypoconulid is erupted, but unworn. Wear appears on about two-thirds of the tooth; more than at Hawken. Wear facets (described after Frison et al. 1976:38) on Garnsey mandibles fall consistently between successive Hawken age groups and successive Gardner Herd modern age groups in terms of the extent of wear (Table 17; Table 22), with minimal overlap. Wear facets therefore indicate a temporal period somewhere between the successive late-winter groups of Hawken. Similarity in eruption indicates that while Garnsey groups are more heavily worn than the closest Hawken/Gardner Herd groups, they cannot be more than a few months older in each case. On this basis I would view spring (N + 0.0 yr) as the most likely assignment, with a range of +0. 1 yr as appropriate. The presence of an unworn right dP3 (BL/EF-11/Scr), and of a mandible with barely worn milk dentition (BL/E-22/l; wear on dP4 ranges from polish on some facets to very light enamel attrition with wear surfaces not joined from one facet to the next), support this age assignment, as does the presence of some fetal postcranial elements. However, the lessons of the Casper site as to out-of-season fetuses (Wilson 1974:151-52) cannot be ignored, and I readily acknowledge that Age Group 1 at Garnsey (fetal/ neonatal) is not well represented considering the number of mature cows present. By fall long yearlings (1.5 yr) show partial eruption of M2, sometimes with slight or no wear·; long two-yearlings (2.5 yr) show partial eruption of M3 (Frison and Reher 1970:46-47). This is significantly beyond the situation noted at Garnsey, prcviding some support for the belief that Garnsey is a spring kill. Fetal Elements at Garnsey. As already noted, I prefer the evidence of dental eruption and attrition (in that order) to the presence or absence of fetal remains as a seasonal indicator. I would be remiss, however, if the fetal and neonatal material were not described at this

123

point. One mandible (BL/E-22/1) is clearly neonatal with only slight wear; a right dP3 is unworn and probably fetal (BL/EF-11/Scr); and the bulk of the other Age Group 1 bones are large enough to be from neonates. A small number of limb elements is, however, small enough to be classed securely as near-full-term fetal. Fetal elements include a right scapula (0-3/38), right radius (512S476W/4) left metacarpal (G-15/1), and a fragmentary metacarpal (E-8/l) that cannot be referred to its side. The scapula and metacarpals show conspicuous layering of periosteal tissue with open cancellous interspaces, suggesting that the bones had not been subjected to loading (Wilson 1974:147-48). Neonatal elements include a left femur (523S596W/34), left tibia (524S597W/9), right metacarpal (G-10/1), and left metatarsal (I-7/1). All four exhibit glossier surfaces than the fetal elements, and the layering of the periosteum has been partially obscured through infilling of cancellous interspaces by fibrous osteons. This probably occurred in response to loading after birth, and the elements are from larger individuals than those represented by fetal elements described above. Two third phalanges (EF-9,10/Scr and K-12/17) are large enough to be referred to neonates. Several elements, mostly axial or limb girdle support elements, cannot be classed securely as fetal or neonatal, though they are clearly one or the other. Many of these exhibit layering and open interspaces but since the elements are not subjected to direct loading upon birth in all cases, this criterion may not be applicable. For the present I use this only with limb elements. Fetal/neonatal cranial elements include a right frontal (P-4/27), a left occipital fragment (OP-2,4/Scr), and a right premaxilla (EF-22/Scr). Other elements include vertebrae (EF-9,10/Scr; H-18/9; EF-1,2/Scr Z=l40; E-19/Scr; E-23/5), ribs (E-20/2; E-23/4), two tarsals (518S590W/79; 519S590W/Scr), three right ilia -(J-13/14;J-8/Scr; 519S589W/8), and two other pelvic fragments (K-13/24; I-14/Scr). The ilia demonstrate that at least three individuals are present, and the definitely fetal bones seem to be from at least one slightly smaller individual, suggesting a minimum of four. Summary The relatively small size of the Garnsey site sample introduces some difficulty into the inference of population dynamics and seasonality. Nevertheless, I feel that such studies are fully justified, and provide significant insights. Its anomalous bimodal age-group distribution resembles that of the Hawken site, and may be evidence for more than one kill event, at least one of which exploited a bull group. Dental evidence and the presence of fetal and neonatal individuals indicates a spring series of kills. Such spring kills could relate to a seasonal disappearance of bison from the area in summer, and a

124

consequent need of the indigenous people for stored meat to last at least for part of the summer until other resources could be harvested. Dental wear per annum of the bison at Garnsey was heavier than it was on the northern. plains. This may reflect stresses affecting a population that occupied marginal bison range, with less than optimum forage. Variations in tooth attritional rates through time in areas such as this could in the future help to elucidate the effects of climatic change upon forage and bison populations, but such comparative data are not available at present. Such data must be sought at other Southwest and southern plains bison kills, as the evidence for multiple drives at the Garnsey site points to a drive tradition rather than an accidental event. The waxing and waning of such a tradition through time would have had repercussions in the scheduling of other resource procurement activities, and perhaps on the settlement patterns of inhabitants of the region. Acknowledgments The analysis of the Garnsey site crania, mandibles, and fetal elements was conducted in response to a request by John D. Speth for assistance with the determination of seasonality at the site. To John must go credit for ensuring that such a study was performed as an integral part of the site analysis. I am deeply grateful to John for his having arranged funding for travel and expenses in support of my trip to Ann Arbor; funding was provided by the Museum of Anthropology, University of Michigan. I am particularly grateful to John for his hospitality during my stay in Ann Arbor. ' George C. Frison granted permission for me to examine the Gardner herd sample in Laramie. 1om Larson, of the Wyoming State Archaeologists's Office (Laramie) guided me through the collections, which mysteriously have become organized since my departure from Laramie. I am grateful to Tom and to George Zeimens for their hospitality at Laramie, and to Chuck Reher for helpful discussions of some of my embryonic ideas concerning the Garnsey site sample. My report was written in haste, though I hope not without due care, in the month following my trip to Ann Arbor. During most of this period I was engaged in field work at a site in southern Alberta, and the report no doubt embodies the erratic nature of my evening work periods in a succession of varied writing styles. Rarely were two successive evenings available. Fortunately for me, Dr. C.S.("Rufus") Churcher spent some time with us in the field, and was able to skim the report and provide many helpful suggestions. Upon his advice I have modified my dental cusp terminology from the acceptable but not widely used "endostyle/exostylid" couplet to the more widely accepted "entostyle/ ectostylid". His comments regarding cranial suture terminology and

125

concerning various improvements in the presentation of data and discussions also proved extremely helpful. I must emphasize, however, that other duties prevented him from undertaking a thorough editing job, and any errors that may remain cannot in any way be ascribed to him, or to any individual other than the author. The Garnsey sample has given me much food for thought. It has been an exciting sample to work with, in that it has stimulated speculation on several fronts. I am sincerely thankful that the opportunity came my way.

METHOD OF BISON PROCUREMENT

The following observations are relevant to an understanding of the method of bison procurement employed at the Garnsey site: (l) several different procurement events are represented at the site (at least two in Level B3, plus additional older and younger events); (2) these events appear to have taken place in the spring (see discussion by Wilson in preceding section); (3) these events probably involved kill populations with different proportions of male and female animals (i.e., both COW groups and bull groups may have been taken; see discussion by Wilson in preceding section); (4) the bone clusters occur out on the floor of the wash along a major, perhaps perennially moist channel rather than close to the bedrock walls of the wash or within the narrower tributaries of the wash; (5) the bone clusters occur in groups, widely separated from other similar groups (at least two such groups were excavated in Level 83, one on the north side of the arroyo, the other about 80 to 100 m downstream on the south side; one or more such groups also may exist farther upstream); (6) hunting was probably done on foot and without the aid of firearms; (7) projectile points are scarce (10 points for more than 35 animals). 11

The methods by which the bison were gathered, contained and killed at the Garnsey site remain somewhat unclear. There is no evidence to suggest that the site was an arroyo trap. Bison remains do not occur in or near any of the major tributaries in the vicinity of the site, and it seems unlikely that the carcasses would have been hauled over great distances from more remote trap localities. Nor was the site a classic jump locality in which the animals would have been killed or disabled by the fall from a precipice. The walls of the wash in the vicinity of the site are neither high enough nor steep enough, and today at least offer no effective obstacle to the movement of cattle in and out of the wash (see Figs. 4 and 5). The unsuitable nature of the wash as a jump locality is brought out more clearly in Fig. 52, which presents a north-south section of the site along the 500W line. A variant of the classic cliff-jump which may have been used at Garnsey was a stampede over the edge of the wash into some sort of pound or corral (see Frison 1978:243ff for a detailed description of this method). One of the earliest Spanish expeditions to explore the Pecos Valley observed a large corral in the general vicinity of Carlsbad which may have been used for precisely this purpose. The twenty-third [of November 1590] we left this place, where the river turned sharply toward the west, and we came upon a very large corral used by the Indians for enclosing cattle (Castano de Sosa in Hammond and Rey 1966:260-61). If corral trapping was in fact employed at the Garnsey site, the spatial distribution of bones in the wash indicates that at least two structures would have been in operation during the period represented by Levels A2, 130

METHOD OF BISON PROCUREMENT

83 and 84, one on the north side of the arroyo near the major excavations in Trenches 77-l, 78-1 and 78-5, the other on the south side near Trenches 78-6 and 78-7. Unfortunately, no direct evidence for corrals was encountered during the two seasons of excavation, but it must be noted that the site was not sampled with this specific objective in mind .. A more opportunistic method of procurement which may have been used at the Garnsey locality was cooperative ambushing or surrounding of animals grazing along the channel, or attracted to the area by the spring located a few hundred meters upstream from the site. This method would account for the occurrence of bone clusters in widely separated parts of the wash; but it would not satisfactorily account for the repeated occurrence of kill episodes at the same place within the wash, as evidencedbythe superposition on the north side of the arroyo of bone clusters in Levels A2, 83 and 84. Whichever method of procurement was employed--trapping animals in a corral or surrounding them on the floor of the wash--the scarcity of projectile points is problematic. Frison (l978:243ff) notes that large numbers of points generally are recovered from kill sites which did not involve a lethal jump. The unusual conical wound found in one of the pelves from the Garnsey site raises the possibility that projectile points of materials other than flint were being used. Early Spanish expeditions noted the use of bone. Coronado, for example, in 1540 collected samples of weapons in the Southwest, including ... a shield, a mallet, and a bow with some arrows, among which there are two with bone points .... (in Hammond and Rey 1940: 177) Onate, later in the same century, stated that The Spaniards saw some arrows with long bone tips, although only a few, as the flint is better for killing the cattle than the spear. (in Hammond and Rey 1953:404) The use of wooden-tipped arrows or spears also is a possibility. Luxan's account of the Espejo expedition of 1582, for example, mentions some sort of spear or javelin which may have been made entirely of wood. This place we called El Arroyo de las Garrochas, because we found many goad sticks with which the Indians kill the buffalo. (in Hammond and Rey 1966:207) Mason (1893) documents the widespread occurrence among historic groups in the Southwest of arrows tipped only with wood. He provides the following example concerning the use of wood among the Apache. The arrow of the Apache sometimes terminates in a triangular piece of hard wood, which seems to be

perfectly effective as a weapon. (letter by J.G. Bourke, quoted in Mason 1893:669) Opler offers a similar example concerning the use of wooden points the Apache

~mong

When flints are to be affixed, the shaft is split, the arrowhead is inserted, and the shaft is tightly wrapped with moistened sinew. More commonly, however, no flint is used; the wooden tip of the arrow is simply sharpened and fire hardened. (Opler 1965:389). Unfortunately, no direct evidence for the use of either bone or wood points, other than the peculiar wound in the pelvis, has been found in the excavations at the Garnsey site. Thus, we are presently unable to offer more than a very tentative explanation for the unexpectedly small number of projectile points recovered from the kill.

NON-BISON REMAINS Human

Only a single, small fragment of human bone was encountered at the Garnsey site. The specimen (K-11/S (6/20/78); 5llS5llW/S), from Cluster B3-C, was examined by C. Loring Brace of the University of Michigan, who furnished the following assessment: This fragment is a piece of human mandible. The part preserved includes the basalar portion of the symphysis with the bottoms of the sockets of both central incisors and the bottom of the socket for the deciduous right lateral incisor. Below and lingual to this latter is the unerupted crown of the permanent right lateral incisor. The mesial-distal diameter of this tooth crown is 6.5 mm. The size plus the spatulate form suggest that it is Native American rather than European. The state of the eruption of the permanent incisors allows the assignment of an age between 7 and 8 years for this individual. The specimen was found in Trench 78-1 within a major bone cluster on the north flank of the main channel. The association of this solitary fragment of a child among quantities of butchered bison bones is puzzling. Other Non-Bison Remains A total of 49 nori-bison bones were recovered in two seasons of excavation at the Garnsey site (excluding the human mandible discussed above, and a variety of microfauna which have not as yet been analyzed). The non-bison remains are summarized in Table 23. Of these bones, 40 (81.6%) are canid, 8 (16.3%) are antelope and 1 (2.0%) is deer. Canid bones are clearly the most common non-bison remains on the site. They were invariably found directly within the major clusters of bison bones, and many were unmistakably butchered. A complete canid cranium was recovered from Cluster B3-K (Trench 78-6); this specimen is discussed in greater detail by Danny N. Walker in Appendix H. Based on tibias, at least four animals are represented (one immature; three mature, including both a small and large form). The Garnsey data suggest that bison carcasses many have been used as secondary traps for scavenging carnivores (see Frison et al. 1978:45 for similar observations in the northern plains). At least two antelopes were killed and butchered at the Garnsey site, including one mature animal and a second, immature animal. Only a single fragment attributable to deer was recovered, but the specimen is clearly butchered.

LITHICS

Fig. 55 illustrates the spatial distribution of Level B3 lithics in Trenches 78-6 and 78-7 (N=2l). The sample is small, but the distribution is similar to that found in bone clusters elsewhere on the site (see Fig. 53). Only 88 lithic items were recovered from Level 84 (not shown) at the Garnsey site. Of these, 47 (53.4%) were found on the north side of the arroyo in Trenches 77-l, 78-l and 78-5. The remaining 41 (46.6%) came from the processing area (Trenches 78-2 and 78-4). These cluster in two groups, one stratigraphically below the hearth at the western end of Trench 78-4 (see Fig. 16), the other at the extreme western end of Trench 78-2. The latter yielded a single biface fragment (517S494W/4). The most productive lithic cluster in Level B4 occurred on the north side of the arroyo in Trench 78-5 (see Fig. 15). This cluster, probably on the bottom and flanks of an early Unit B minor channel, yielded two projectile points (D-7/5; D-8/l), an endscraper (D-7/ll), and a core (D-7/4). No Level 84 lithics were found in Trenches 77-2, 78-6 or 78-7 on the south side of the arroyo. Only a few items were recovered from Levels B5 and 86, all salvaged from the walls of the arroyo. None of these specimens were retouched. Raw Materia 1 A relatively wide range of materials was employed in the manufacture of tools. The majority were made from fine-grained chert or chalcedony, of which several varieties were distinguished on the basis of color and surface texture. Smaller quantities of quartzite, basalt and obsidian also were employed. The frequency of each type of material within the total Garnsey site assemblage is summarized in Table 26. Virtually all of these materials were probably obtained from local sources. Several types of chert formerly believed to represent nonlocal materials (Speth and Parry 1978:34 9 42-43) are now known to be locally available. A brief summary of known local sources follows. Milky white chalcedony. This material is available as pebbles and cobbles within the Pecos Valley, particularly to the south of Roswell. It may also occur on the Mescalero Pediment, perhaps derived from the Ogallala formation of the Llano Estacada. Similar material also has been reported from a source north of Roswell in Macho Draw (Ross 1973). Mottled gray chert. This material, perhaps the most intensively used at the Garnsey site, is available at numerous outcrops of Permian San Andres formation west of Roswell. Many of the large unifacial tools found in the processing area have been chipped from tabular pieces of this material and presumably derive from these bedrock sources. This material also is available in the form of small pebbles in gravel

terraces of the Pecos River north of Roswell, and occasionally as pebbles on the Mescalero Pediment to the east. Similar material is reported from the Dunahoo Hills north of Roswell (Jelinek 1967:17, 142). Mottled red and/or ~low chert. This rather broad category of material is predominantly dark red to reddish brown to maroon, with bands or mottles of yellowish brown, tan or beige and blue-gray or white. Superficially, the cherts in this group resemble Alibates, and some specimens may actually derive from the classic sources north of Amarillo. Some of the Garnsey specimens more closely match material from the Quitaque area northeast of Plainview in the Texas Panhandle (Tecovas chert). Still other specimens are more uniformly red, lacking the distinctive brown and gray mottling or banding. These more closely resemble material from Palma Mesa, an outlier of the caprock northeast of Roswell (this source was pointed out by Donald E. Clifton). The Palma Mesa material tends to be heavily fractured or jointed, reducing its suitability for tool manufacture. Cherts falling within this same broad category are also available in the form of small pebbles in terrace gravels of the Pecos River. No attempt has been made in the present study to distinguish between specimens made of Alibates or Tecovas chert and those made of similar local material. It was felt that such distinctions could not be made reliably withoutthe aid of petrographic thin-sections, given the extremely small size of most Garnsey flakes. Fingerprint chert. This distinctive material consists of fine concentric bands of white, gray and occasionally brown. The nearest outcrops of fingerprint chert known to the authors are found in the Permian San Andres formation to the west of Roswell. Two utilized flakes from Level 84 (Trench 78-5) have been chipped from a tabular core of this material, and may derive from these bedrock sources. However, small pebbles of fingerprint chert are available in terrace gravels of the Pecos River in the Roswell area. Other local cherts. A wide variety of chert is available in the form of fist-sized or smaller pebbles in the terrace gravels of the Pecos. Samples collected on the west side of the river, about 15 miles (25 km) northeast of Roswell, include gray chert, red chert, brown chert, yellow chert, black chert, white chert, green chert, oolitic chert, silicified wood and vein quartz. Other local materials. Several varieties of quartzite are available in the Pecos gravels. These include fist-sized cobbles of a very distinctive maroon quartzite, and fine-grained light to dark gray quartzites. Obsidian. This is the only material present in the Garnsey site assemblage which is clearly of non-local origin. Four pieces (0.7%) were found. The source of the obsidian has not been determined as yet.

Utilized and Retouched Artifacts Projectile Points. Ten projectile points have been recovered from the Garnsey site. Only one point is complete; the remaining nine are fragmentary. Eight of the specimens represent small, sidenotched points which fall within the widespread Harrell type. One point has a straight base, one has a concave base, one has a deeply indented ( V -shaped) base~ and two others have bases with a central notch. These five all derive from Level B3. The three remaining Harrell points consist only of tips which have been broken off at the notches. One of these is from Level B3; the other two are from Level B4 (Trench 78-5). 11

Of the remaining two projectile points, one is an unidentifiable serrated tip; the other is a large, barbed cornernotched point which has been broken and bifacially reworked into a hafted knife. The 10 projectile points are described in detail in the following section. The descriptive terms used are those proposed and defined by Binford (1963). Measurements enclosed by brackets apply to broken, damaged, or incomplete specimens, and do not reflect the true value for the complete specimen. A.

Bifaces. In addition to projectile points, seven other bifaces (complete or major fragments) were recovered from the Garnsey site. Three are small, thick ovate or discoidal bifaces with one or more distal noseS A fourth is a large, lanceolate-shaped flake with heavy bifacial retouch along the lateral edges. The remaining three bifaces are broken fragments. Two of these appear to be unfinished specimens, perhaps knives or point preforms broken during manufacture. In addition to the seven bifaces already described, there are four other very small biface fragments derived from tools of unknown form. Still other bifaces are represented by resharpening flakes. Identifiable bifaces are described in the following section. 11

Cores. Three cores have been recovered from the Garnsey site (Fig. 58). One, found in Level 84 in Trench 78-5 (0-7/4), is a battered cobble of milky chalcedony approximately 6 em in length by 4 em in width (weight ca. 100 g). Several large flakes have been detached from this core. A second nearly identical specimen (weight ca. 100 g) is a surface find from the arroyo. The third core, from Level 83 in Trench 77-1 (E-7/S Z=98), is a small, flat pebble of gray chert from which one large flake has been removed (diameter 3 em; weight ca. 9 g). The two larger cores display heavy battering on their edges, possibly produced by flake removal, but more likely reflecting use of the cores as hammers or pounding tools. The three cores all appear to have been used to produce from one to several flakes, each between two and four em in length. The cores are not prepared in any way, and probably reflect the production of expedient flake tools during butchering.

Unifacially Retouched Tools. Eight largely intact, unifacially retouched tools have been recovered from the Garnsey site. These include four small endscrapers (F-9/S, Level 83; one surface find; EF-4/S, Level 83; 0-7/ll, Level 84); three combined end- and sidescrapers (511S478W/l8, broken, Level 83; 513S478W/7, Level 83; 513S479W/14, Level 83); and one large discoidal maroon quartzite scraper (513S476W/55, Level 83). These eight unifacially retouched tools are illustrated in Figs. 60-65.

Photographs of small unifacially retouched endscrapers from From left to right: F-9/S, surface find, EF-4/S, 0-7/11.

The three combined end- and sidescrapers and the quartzite discoidal scraper all derive from the processing area; none show evidence of having been hafted. The three small endscrapers which were found in situ all derive from bone clusters on the north side of the arroyo. Two of the small endscrapers (F-9/S and the surface find) are broken on the side opposite the retouch, and the lateral edges exhibit crushing. These features suggest that the small endscrapers may have been hafted and broke at or within the haft during use. Accounts by early Spanish explorers in the Southwest describe the use of what may be similar tools. One of the most detailed is provided by Pedro de Castaneda, one of Coronado•s chroniclers. Castaneda witnessed a bison kill in the late spring or summer of 1541, somewhere on cut the plains east of the Pecos River. He observed the Indians open the cow at the back and pull off the skin at the joints, using a flint the size of a finger, tied to a small stick, doing this as 11

handily as if they used a fine large tool. They sharpen the flints on their own teeth. It is remarkable to see how quickly they do it" (Hammond and Rey 1940:262). In addition to the stone tools, two fragments of bone may also represent scraping tools (Fig. 66). A small flake from the midshaft region of a longbone (5llS477W/l6, Level 83) has a notch at one end. The edge within the notch (edge angle 55°) shows heavy scalar retouch indicative of utilization. A second, larger flake from the midshaft region of a longbone (I-22/l, Level 83) has been retouched on one edge by a continuous series of small, conchoidal flakes. The retouched edge (edge angle 50°) is somewhat obscured by weathering, but appears to show wear in the form of abrasion and microretouch. This item may represent a sidescraper.

It is interesting to note that these two bone artifacts are comparable to the unifacially retouched stone tools from the site. They are generally similar in size, edge configuration, edge angle, patterns of retouch and patterns of wear. It would appear in these two cases that standard stoneworking techniques were applied expediently to bone. Closer examination of the unidentifiable bone debris might reveal additional bone tools. Utilized Flakes. The Garnsey assemblage includes a number of utilized flakes, mostly fragmentary (Fig. 67). Most were small, with large specimens (over 40 mm) present only in the processing area.

Among the utilized flakes are a number of specimens which morphologically resemble microblades. Four of these are intact; a few additional specimens are fragmentary. The microblades have parallel lateral edges and triangular cross sections with a single dorsal ridge. Most show edge damage reflecting utilization. They have been struck from tabular pieces of chert, with a flat area of cortex forming the

striking platform. Platform edges have been prepared by abrasion. These items are similar to microblades from eastern Texas described by Patterson (1973). No prepared cores have been recovered from the Garnsey site~ and it is not known if the Garnsey "microblades" were deliberately made~ or are simply fortuitous products of flint-working. Metric and Non-metric Characteristics of Garnsey Lithics Table 27 summarizes the principal metric attributes of the Garnsey lithic assemblage by stratigraphic level. Non-metric or categorical attributes for the assemblage are presented in Table 25 (see above). Selection of attributes was based to a large extent on a list proposed by Wilmsen (1970)~ with revisions where appropriate. The metric attributes include: (1) Length of medial axis (mm; on fragments where the medial axis could not be determined~ maximum overall length was measured) (2) Maximum width (mm; perpendicular to medial axis) (3) Bulb thickness (mm) (4) Maximum thickness below bulb (mm) (5) Weight (grams) (6) Medial axis angle (intersection~ on ventral face~ of medial axis with plane of striking platform) (7) Platform angle (intersection of projected plane of platform with ventral face below bulb) (8) Maximum width of latform (mm) (9) Thickness of platform mm; measured at cone on plane of platform) The non-metric or categorical attributes listed in Table 25 are with the possible exception of fire damage. This category was coded "present" for a specimen only when crazing or potlidding was in evidence. Color changes arising from exposure to heat were not coded because they were too difficult to identify reliably by visual means alone. self~explanatory~

Perhaps the most striking aspect of the assemblage is the diminutive size of the majority of specimens. The median weight is less than 0.2 g (the mean is considerably greater because of the presence of several heavy "outliers"). The means for seven of the metric attributes in Table 27 decrease from Level 84 to Level 83, and again from Level 83 to Level A2. The two exceptions to this pattern are platform angle and medial axis angle. Examination of minimum and maximum values reveals that the pattern is probably fortuitous~ resulting from the inclusion of a very large and heavy outlier in Level B4~ and a moderately large outlier in Level B3.

Edge Characteristics of Tools Fig. 68 presents a frequency distribution of edge angles recorded on all utilized flakes, unifacially and bifacially retouched tools, and resharpening flakes with preserved remnants of the original tool edge on their striking platforms. On tools with more than one working edge, each edge was treated separately, bringing the total sample size to 134. Fig. 68 is clearly trimodal, with modes very much like those observed in the much smaller sample from the first season (Speth and Parry 1978:45). Table 28 presents the mean and other descriptive statistics for each of the three edge-angle modes in Fig. 68 (sharp, intermediate and steep edges). The first edge-angle mode (sharp edges) in Fig. 68 contains only utilized edges (10; 22.7%); none of the edges with retouch, and none of the edges preserved on resharpening flakes, had edge angles less than 30°. The majority of utilized edges (32; 72.7%) fall within the intermediate edge-angle mode (i.e., between 30° and 65°). Only two utilized edges (4.5%) fall within the steep mode. Edges with unifacial retouch were relatively evenly divided between the intermediate and steep edge-angle modes (43.2% and 56.8%, respectively). Edges with bifacial retouch tended to be concentrated within the intermediate mode (62.8%) with only 37.2% in the steep mode. Edges preserved as remnants on resharpening flakes were concentrated in the steep edge-angle mode (65.0%) with only 35.0% falling within the intermediate mode. This interesting result suggests that resharpening flakes are to a large extent debris resulting from use-related attrition or re-edging of tools with edge angles greater than about 70°. 11

Although the edge angles of tools on the north side of the arroyo and in the processing area are similar, two interesting differences may be seen in Table 30. First, biface and/or knife fragments are restricted almost entirely to the processing area. Second, the mean edge angle of unifacially retouched tools (excluding endscrapers) is considerably lower on the north side. More than 80% of these tools.on the north side have edge angles which fall between 35° and 65° (intermediate edges); whereas nearly 70% of these tools in the processing area have edge angles greater than 75° (steep edges). The Garnsey lithic data offer some useful insights into tool function which cannot be observed as clearly in more complex, multipleactivity settlement types. This is because the Garnsey assemblage derives from a limited range of activities associated primarily with the procurement and initial processing of a single species of animal. Moreover, theseactivities took place within a relatively brief period of time, and they were carried out in different parts of the wash. Perhaps the major shortcoming of the Garnsey lithic sample is its small size. Bearing in mind the potential limitations of the sample, the following observations concerning the assemblage are of interest.

170

11.

LITHICS

First, the assemblage is dominated by small, unmodified flakes. An unknown number of these probably are debris from tool use and resharpeni ng. Many hcrwever may be expedient cutting tools, used without modification in the butchering process, and then discarded. It is interesting in this regard that the cores were found in the killbutchering areas, not in the processing area (despite the considerably larger quantity of lithic debitage in the latter area). The cores may have been used as hammers or pounding tools in activities related to butchering. But their principal function probably was to provide a ready source of raw material for the expedient manufacture of sharp cutting implements. The expedient nature of flakes in the killbutchering areas is also indicated by the considerably greater diversity of raw material types in these areas than in the processing area. Other differences between the butchering and processing areas can be observed. Virtually all of the biface fragments were recovered from the processing area. Most of these tools had edge angles between 40° and 65°. The two specimens with steep edge angles came from the processing area. Interestingly, resharpening flakes from bifacial tools were more numerous in the kill-butchering areas than in the processing area. This would imply that, while bifacial tools were used and resharpened in the primary butchering areas, they were put to tasks which produced a higher rate of breakage and discard in the processing area. Alternatively, since the majority of specimens are fragmentary, it is possible that two different types of bifaces are actually represented in the two areas. Among the endscrapers, the small varieties all came from the killbutchering areas; the larger, more elongated combination end- and sidescrapers came from the processing area. The range of edge angles in endscrapers from both areas is comparable, including both intermediate and steep edges. The differences in size and shape of endscrapers from the two areas may reflect functionally distinct tool types. It is poss i b1e, however, that the differences reflect functionally comparable tools at different stages of attrition. The latter would imply that endscrapers were being manufactured in the processing area and/or that the activities in the butchering areas produced higher rates of attrition. Unifacially retouched tools (excluding endscrapers), like other categories of retouched tools, have representative s in both the intermediate and steep edge-angle modes. Unlike the other tool categories, however, the unifacial tools are segregated spatially, with the majority of intermediate-ed ged specimens occurring in the kill-butcherin g areas, and the majority of steep-edged specimens occurring in the processing area. Resharpening flakes from unifacial tools occur in comparable numbers in both areas. Projectile points show no apparent stratigraphic patterning at Garnsey. The majority come from Level 83 deposits; included among them

are specimens with straight, concave and deeply indented bases, specimens with double and triple notches, and specimens with and without serration. The diversity of point forms within a series of closely related kill and processing events is not unexpected. Bourke, for example, notes that among the historic Apaches The same warrior may have in his quiver representatives of several types [of points], sometimes serrated, sometimes non-serrated, but all deadly. (quoted in Mason 1893:669) Moreover, the ethnographic literature is replete with examples of the astounding diversity of arrow forms that may be in use~within a single community (see, for example, the inventory provided by Watanabe 1975). Spatially, the Garnsey points display some degree of patterning, although the small sample size makes interpretation difficult. First, serrated blades occur only in the kill-butchering areas. This suggests that, while their primary function was as arrow points, they may also have been employed as hafted cutting tools during subsequent butchering activities. Second, point tips (three snapped off at the notch and one broken off near the midsection of the blade) come from the kill-butchering areas. Point fragments from the processing area appear to preserve more of the basal portion below the notches. This might indicate that the haft elements of points broken or damaged during the kill were removed and discarded in the processing area. The significance of the trimodal edge-angle distribution observed in the Garnsey tools deserves further comment. The modes do not appear to be the fortuitous byproducts of measurement error or sample size. Nearly identical modes showed up in the samples from both field seasons. Moreover, Wilmsen (1970:68-74) has observed very similar trimodal distributions in a variety of Paleo-Indian assemblages, and Frison (1970: 36-38, 1974:92) has noted comparable sharp and intermediate modes in at least two bison kills (Glenrock and Casper, respectively). Both authors associate the sharp mode with cutting operations. Frison (1970:36) attributes the intermediate mode to scraping functions, while Wilmsen (1970:70) suggests a somewhat broader range of activities including both scraping and heavy cutting. Wilmsen (1970:71) attributes the steep mode to activities involving wood working, bone working and heavy shredding. If his assessment of the nature of activities associated with steep-edged tools is reasonable, then the absence of this mode in primary kill sites such as Glenrock and Casper, both of which lacked processing areas, is not surprising (Frison 1970:2, 1978:173). The presence of the steep edge-angle mode at Garnsey, then, would imply that the range of activities at this site was broader than that at either Glenrock or Casper. This conclusion is certainly supported by the existence of a distinctive processing area at Garnsey. Moreover, the occurrence of steep-edged tools within the kill-butchering areas, as well as within the processing area, may indicate that a fair amount of processing was taking place throughout the site. This would help to account for the high degree of disarticulation of bones within the bone clusters. 172

LITHICS

An alternative explanation for the existence of the steep edgeangle mode should be noted. This mode may represent a stage in the attrition of butchering tools, rather than a distinct functional category (cf. Wilmsen 1970:71). This view is made plausible by the fact that all of the unifacially and bifacially retouched tool categories at Garnsey have representative s in both the intermediate and steep edgeangle modes, and by the fact that most identifiable resharpening flakes are derived from steep-edged tools. But if the steep-edged specimens do in fact represent a stage in the attrition of more acute-edged tools, one would expect the distribution of edge angles to grade from intermediate values into steep values, rather than to display the clear-cut mod a 1ity present in Fig. 68. The multimodal patterning of tool edge-angles appears to be a real phenomenon. However, in order to arrive at a more adequate understanding of the significance of this patterning, the functional and spatial correlates of tool edge angles need to be examined in a much wider variety of butchering and processing contexts.

THE

FROM THE GARNSEY BISON KILL SITE, SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO

CERA~1ICS

by Regge N. Wiseman Museum of New Mexico Santa Fe, New Mexico Nineteen sherds were recovered from various proveniences in the Garnsey Bison Kill site (Table 31). Six previously described pottery types are represented by one or more examples with only one sherd being unassignable. Jelinek•s (1967) definitions (especially temper types) were used to distinguish the brown ware types, and the identification of the El Paso and Chupadero sherds was based on the writer•s familiarity with these wares. In retrospect, it seems likely that several, if not all of those sherds typed as Chupadero might fit the criteria for Middle Pecos Black-on-White (Jelinek 1967:56-58), particularly with regard to the softer, more crumbly paste he attributes to Middle Pecos B/W. All sherds are quite small (thumbnail size or smaller), making the use of criteria other than temper and paste characteristics difficult if not impossible. A thirty-power binocular microscope was used for temper identifications. Tentative assignment of the ceramic assemblage to one or more of Jelinek•s (1967) phases is virtually impossible because of the small sample size, the poorly dated nature of all the types involved (Table 32), and the fact that only an incomplete phase sequence for the immediate Roswell area has been suggested. The fact that South Pecos Brown apparently was primarily an early type and that McKenzie Brown was primarily a late type opens the possibility that either one long or two or more shorter occupations are represented, though this is far from certain. It is concluded only that a general time period of approximately A.D. 900 to 1400 is indicated by the pottery. Functional evidence is also quite scanty, mostly because of the small sherd sizes which limit the ability to make vessel type (jar versus bowl) determinations. It is interesting that at least four of the black-on-white sherds are from bowls; at least three different vessels are represented.

CONCLUSIONS

Based on the evidence currently available, between ca. A.D. 1450 and A.D. 1600 the Garnsey site was the locus of recurrent, communal procurement activities,in which bison were either surrounded within the wash or driven over the edge of the wash into corrals. Although several different events are recorded in the Garnsey deposits, all took place during the same season of the year--the spring. Different kjll episodes appear to have involved bison herds of different composition, some events focusing on 11 COW groups 11 or 11 nursery herds 11 , others focusing on 11 bu11 group s 11 • Communal procurement activities may have been timed in the spring to occur prior to the seasonal abandonment of the area by local bison populations. Kill activities may have been aimed at procuring supplies of dried meat for the summer months, and perhaps at providing meat, hides and other bison products for exchange with other groups in the region. Horticulturally based puebloan communities may have been a major focus of this exchange. Rib units and the upper portions of the rear limbs, particularly of males, were principal targets of the butchering process. Hides and tongues also may have been selectively removed. The high degree of disarticulation of elements in the discard piles, while to some extent an artifact of post-depositional disturbance, probably reflects intensive butchering of the Garnsey bison. In addition, the presence in the kill-butchering areas of steep-edged tools, not found in northern plains bison kills which lacked on-site processing areas, suggests that considerable secondary processing may have been taking place over much of the Garnsey site. Heavier butchering of rear limb elements, particularly those of the upper leg, in conjunction with the preferential butchering of metacarpals, suggest that marrow production may have been an important consideration in the processing activities .. The Garnsey site documents a local efflorescence in communal bison hunting during the period represented by Levels B4, B3 and A2. The Garnsey data are consistent with evidence presented by Jelinek (1967), Collins (1966, 1971), Dillehay (1974) and others which points to an increase after ca. A.D. 1300-1400 in the importance of bison in subsistence systems throughout much of the southern plains region. Jelinek (1967), working within the Middle Pecos itself, postulated that by A.D. 1400 bison herds had become such an attractive resource that local horticultural communities were completely abandoned in favor of a more nomadic mode of subsistence, focused heavily on the procurement of bison. The Garnsey data, while consistent with a view of generally increasing exploitation of bison in the Middle Pecos area, cast doubt on the likelihood that bison became sufficiently abundant or predictable to have brought about the transformation of village-farming systems into bison-hunting economies. The high rate of dental attrition

CONCLUSIONS

and the comparatively short life expectancy of the Garnsey bison attest to the marginal nature of local forage during this period. In all likelihood, bison populations in the area remained relatively small and probably were very vulnerable to fluctuations in precipitation which altered local pasture conditions (cf. Reher 1977). It seems likely that exploitation of local bison populations in the Middle Pecos region during the late prehistoric period would have been opportunistic, with frequent recourse to other hunted, gathered or perhaps cultivated resources. Although increasing bison availability may have been a factor in the abandonment of local village-farming communities, it seems doubtful that this would have been the sole or primary cause.

APPENDIX H.

THE GARNSEY SITE CANID by

Danny N. Walker Department of Anthropology University of Wyoming Laramie, Wyoming

Abstract A single canid skull, recovered from the Garnsey site, New Mexico, appears to represent a New Mexico canid population related to similar canids from Wyoming that have recently been determined to be a hybrid cross between wolves and large Indian dogs. Introduction A single canid skull (Fig. Hl) was recovered during the 1978 excavations at the. Garnsey site, Chaves County, New Mexico. This specimen was sent to the present author by the principal investigator of the site, Dr. John Speth, for examination in connection with a study of canids from bison kill siteson the Northwestern Plains (Walker and Frison 1979). The Garnsey site is found within the historic range of Canis lupus monstrabilis, the Texas Gray Wolf (Young and Goldman 1944:466-468); however, it is near the common boundary with two other subspecies of wolf that also occurred in New Mexico, Canis lupus mogollonensis and baileyi. Findley et al. (1975:283-285) report that the wolf was virtually eliminated from New Mexico by 1927, except for a few isolated and scattered i ndi vidual s in the rugged mountainous country of southwestern New Mexico. Numerous records exist in the area for the domestic dog (Canis familiaris), particularly from Puebloan and Basketmaker archaeological sites (Colton 1970; Lawrence 1944; Olsen 1968, 1972). Most of these archaeological specimens fall into the size range of Allen•s (1920) large and small Pueblo dogs or Haag•s (1948) Southwestern dog. The aboriginal dog specimens all differ in size by a large margin from the local wolf populations (Table Hl). Table Hl also shows that the Garnsey site specimen is larger than aboriginal dogs from the Southwest and is well within the range of variation of most measurements for the three indigenous wolves; the only two measurements not within the range are the two skull length measurements. Even these are only slightly under the minimum for the smaller of the three wolves, Canis lupus baileyi. The measurements also show that the Garnsey specimen is larger than the skull of the coyote (Canis latrans), and that there is no problem distinguishing them.

APPENDIX H.

THE GARNSEY SITE CANID

Based on a recent study of large canids from archaeological sites in Wyoming (Walker and Frison 1979), the Garnsey site skull was identified as a member of a population of large canids that are apparently crosses or hybrids between the large prehistoric aboriginal dog (i.e., the Large Indian Dog or Sioux Indian Dog of Allen) and the local wolf populations. The comparison however was with the three wolf subspecies that were present in Wyoming, Canis lupus youngi, nubilus and irremotus (Long 1965:675-678), none of which occurred in New Mexico. The three New Mexico subspecies are all much smaller than the Wyoming subspecies. In fact, Canis lupus baileyi is the smallest subspecies of wolf in North America (Young and Goldman 1944:469-471). Because of the overlap in size of the Garnsey skull with the New Mexico wolves, it was felt that the specimen should be compared in some manner to the New Mexico wolves in order to confirm the fact that it was not a member of a wo 1f population. The measurements for the three New Mexico wolves, as presented in Young and Goldman (1944), were utilized as the basis for a discriminant function analysis (Klecka 1975) to distinguish between the three groups statistically. This was the same method utilized in the Wyoming study to distinguish between Wyoming wolves and the Wyoming prehistoric canids. Following this analysis, a comparison was made between the Wyoming prehistoric canid population and the New Mexico wolves. The Wyoming canids were used in this study because it appeared that the Garnsey canid was more closely related to that population than to any wolf group. The Garnsey site specimen was then entered into the comparison between the Wyoming canids and the New Mexico wolves by the use of the classification function coefficients, a feature of the discriminant analysis program that allows an unknown specimen to be assigned into one of the known groups used in the analysis. Discussion When the Wyoming wolf populations were compared by the use of discriminant analysis, they appeared to be very similar to each other (Walker and Frison 1979). The analysis showed that, for the most part, the different wolf subspecies from a specific geographic area (i.e., the Northern Plains) actually grade into each other in terms of their skull characteristics. This finding substantiates the results of other investigators who also have found a close similarity between geographically close subspecies of wolves (Jolicoeur 1959, 1975; Skeel and Carbyn 1977), and raises the possibility that the groups should not be given subspecific rank. However, the results of the discriminant analysis of the New Mexico wo 1f subspecies were different. Here, the three subspecies were fairly distinct (Fig. H2) and, for the most part, showed very little overlap

347

with each other. Very few members of the monstrabilis and baileyi groups were predicted to belong to another subspecies (Table H2), although 30% of the mogollonensis population were predicted to belong to another. For the most part, the three groups appeared fairly distinct. Young and Goldman (1944) stated that Canis lupus youngi, nubilus and irremotus are very gradational along their subspecific range borders, and that specimens collected along the borders were hard to distinguish. This was not the case with the New Mexico wolves: ... evidence of intergradation is clear, but the geographic transition from mogollonensis to the neighboring races, especially to youngi, in northern New Mexico, and from mogollonensis to baileyi in the southwestern part of the state, was remarkably abrupt .... (Young and Goldman 1944: 465-466) The results of the discriminant analysis show that, while Canis lupus_ youngi, irremotus and nubilus (especially the two latter, as concluded by Skeel and Carbyn 1977) may not be as distinct subspecifically as originally described, Canis lupus mogollonensis, monstrabilis and baileyi appear to be very distinct in their skull characteristics and the original subspecific distinctions may be very valid. Tables H3, H4, H5 and H6 present the statistical data for this discriminant. As can be seen in Table H4, the transverse diameter of the first upper molar and the condylobasal length of the skull are loaded heaviest on the two functions derived, and form the basis for most of the differentiation. A discriminant analysis was then run comparing the Wyoming canid population with the New Mexico wolves (Fig. H3; Tables H7, H8, H9, HlO and Hll). This analysis revealed that the New Mexico wolves were much more similar to each other, when compared to the Wyoming canids. Only a slight overlap with baileyi was present, despite the fact that most individual variables overlapped between the four groups (Table

Hl).

Using the classification function coefficients, the Garnsey canid was classified as belonging to the Wyoming canid group, again despite its similarity in individual measurements to the New Mexico wolves. The position of the specimen on the plot of cases shows that it is, in fact, fairly distinct from the wolves (Fig. H3). Conclusions The Garnsey site canid appears to represent a New Mexico canid population related to similar canids from Wyoming that have recently been determined to be a hybrid cross between wolves and large Indian

dogs. Such canids have been recorded numerous times in the early explorer journals throughout the Northern Plains region (Walker and Frison 1979). The Garnsey specimen records the presence in New Mexico of this hybrid form for the first time. The study has also shown that the three subspecies of New Mexico wolves (Canis lupus mogollonensis, monstrabilis and baileyi) are fairly distinct from each other, and may be considered to be better subspecies'' than other adjoining wolf subspecies such as Canis lupus nubilus and irremotus (Skeel and Carbyn 1977; Walker and Frison 1979). This substantiates the original specific description of baileyi as being fairly distinct from its adjoining relatives (Young and Goldman 1944:469-471). 11
