Abstract

Past analyses of burned wattle and daub rubble from Native American house excavations have shown that plant and animal-related imprints sometimes occur in daub fragments. This paper evaluates the use of non-destructive analysis and sampling methods from a region-wide assemblage of burned daub recovered from a group of Pre-Contact Mississippian Period village and settlement sites in the Yazoo Basin of northwestern Mississippi, U.S.A. The quality and occurrence of imprints from this assemblage will be assessed, and how they may be considered in both future paleoenvironmental research and curation practices.
