LCLinda Scott Cummings

Key Points

  • To determine the age of two samples from the Stateline Site using AMS radiocarbon dating.
  • Collected two charcoal samples from specific features at the site.
  • Performed AMS radiocarbon dating on the samples.
  • Analyzed excavated material culture for contextual dating.
  • Radiocarbon dates indicate periodic occupation during the Late Archaic period.
  • Evidence suggests the site was also used in the Transitional Archaic and possibly Late Woodland periods.
  • Dates range from approximately 5000 to 500 years before present.

Abstract

The Stateline Site (RI 2802) is situated on an elevated rise overlooking Millers River in Cumberland, Rhode Island. The site is a precontact hunting, food processing, and stone tool manufacturing camp. Two radiocarbon dates produced by Beta Analytic (Beta-565363 and Beta-565364) as well as excavated material culture suggest the site was periodically occupied during the Late Archaic, Transitional Archaic, and possibly Late Woodland periods (ca. 5000–500 BP). Two isolated charcoal samples recovered from a hearth feature and a bowl shaped feature were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating.
