dc.description.abstract | Natural and cultural archaeological features at the Richard Beene site (41BX831) occur in deeply buried, well-stratified, and well-dated contexts representing the Holocene period. This thesis establishes a comprehensive, systematic feature classification system, the Feature Evaluation and Analytical System or FEAS, and shows its far ranging utility using the Beene site as a case study. Field descriptions and laboratory analysis of ninety two fire-cracked rock and rockless features were codified based on content, morphology, function, contextual associations, and age. An image database was compiled for visual interpretation and comparative purposes (photos, graphics, and digital images). Emphasis on the relevance of preserving substantive archaeological research collections by better integrating and maintaining primary feature materials and data is addressed throughout this work. | en |
