Finding, Managing, and Studying Prehistoric Cultural Resources at El Dorado Lake, Kansas. Phase I.

Abstract

The general problem orientation for archeological investigations at El Dorado Lake can be characterized as ecological. The goals are to retrieve data and test hypotheses on: (1) the synchronic and diachronic interrelations among prehistoric subsistence and settlement systems and (2) the environmental conditions to which those systems were adapted. In order to accomplish the research objectives, it is proposed: (1) that all impacted archeological sites in the project be mapped, surface collected, and tested; (2) that block excavations be placed on components representing each cultural affiliation, time period, and settlement function; and (3) that environmental analyses be conducted by an interdisciplinary research team.
