Eagel Hill: A Late Quaternary Upland Site in Western Louisiana.

Abstract

The Eagle Hill site (16SA50), is located in a rolling upland area of western Louisiana known as Peason Ridge. Because of its location in a saddle, the locale accumulated colluvial sediments during certain intervals of the late Quaternary; in addition, it served as a habitation area for prehistoric groups. The early Holocene levels (10,000=7,000 BP) began with a Folsom-related occupation and ended with an Early Archaic technology. Analysis of lithic wear patterns, tool morphology, and fire-related attributes clearly defined activity areas. Similar success was achieved with the late Holocene (AD 600 - present) ceramic levels.
