Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of New Mexico, 2007.

This research aims to understand the aspects of variability in palimpsest site formation processes among prehistoric hunter-gatherer sites. Given the perception that hearths are central nodes for the organization of many human activities -- especially under glacial conditions --, the question as to how observed hearth-centered spatial patterns were created under the influences of (1) site type (i.e., caves/rockshelters vs. open-air sites), (2) intrasite topography (i.e., flat surface vs. gentle slope), and (3) human occupational intensity was addressed.

520 $a This research aims to understand the aspects of variability in palimpsest site formation processes among prehistoric hunter-gatherer sites. Given the perception that hearths are central nodes for the organization of many human activities -- especially under glacial conditions --, the question as to how observed hearth-centered spatial patterns were created under the influences of (1) site type (i.e., caves/rockshelters vs. open-air sites), (2) intrasite topography (i.e., flat surface vs. gentle slope), and (3) human occupational intensity was addressed.
520 $a To test the expectations concerning effects of postdepositional disturbances and artifact disposal patterns around hearths, degree of artifact size-sorting was investigated, among various artifact concentrations in and around hearths from 3 late Upper Paleolithic sites: the early Magdalenian levels of El Miron Cave (17-- 13,000 14C B.P.) in Cantabria (Spain), and the Kamihoronai-Moi (14,500 14C B.P.) and Kawanishi C (21,000 14C B.P.) open-air sites in Hokkaido (Japan). The patterns of burnt artifact distributions explored by means of quantitative methods showed that clear-cut artifact size-sorting observed in ethnographic context, as notably postulated by the Binford's hearth-centered model, was not pronounced in the hearth-centered spatial units of study sites. In contrast, it was consistently identified that small artifacts are highly dense in and around the hearth centers. This pattern not only strengthens the notion of hearths as central nodes of activities, but also suggests that hearths provide domestic microspaces for forager groups.
520 $a Regardless of site types, the hearths were regularly maintained by removal of debris and discarding them nearby. Human occupational intensity does not seem to have been high enough to create distinctive refuse dumps in the study sites. While the methods developed in the present research will be useful for dissecting a wide variety of palimpsest formation processes, the results of this research will also be valuable for studying diachronic change in site spatial organization among various prehistoric hunter-gatherer societies.
