Connley Caves: hearths, plant foods, and changing landscapes

Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

The published Cave 5 study identified varied dryland plants and selected wetland taxa in sampled combustion features. The museum's field-school account distinguishes caves and successive investigations, rather than one undifferentiated deposit.

Hearth, plant-food, and environmental context Terminal Pleistocene and Holocene; studied Cave 5 hearths approximately 12,500–10,200 calibrated BP Charred seeds, hearth features, radiocarbon dates and stratified cave deposits La Pine, Oregon, United States (orientation only): approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, cave-entrance, private compound or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, hunting, gathering, farming, fishing, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting, fishing or travel permission is implied.
Resumo

Grutas, humedais, lares, rios e evidências

Conexões entre bacias, planaltos, lagos, rios e regiões vizinhas

La Pine, Oregon, United States is a modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. Food preparation and seasonal work are household-scale evidence, not proof of one regional capital.

Organização política e escala comunitária

Food preparation and seasonal work are household-scale evidence, not proof of one regional capital. Connley Caves contain separate deposits and occupation episodes; three studied hearth features cannot represent every season, cave or household.

Transformação posterior, património vivo e recepção moderna

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Tools and food remains cannot identify every ancient language or speaker; living peoples' own histories are not dependent on archaeological classification. Events after 1800 CE and modern research, reconstruction and stewardship are dated separately from the main historical context.

Plant foods The published Cave 5 study identified varied dryland plants and selected wetland taxa in sampled combustion features.

Sequência histórica

Uma cronologia breve e documentada

Estes marcos servem de orientação e não constituem uma história completa.

  1. Hearth activities

    Plant remains and dating support a flexible food economy in the sampled features.

    [S1]

  2. Earlier Fort Rock investigation

    The field-school history distinguishes Cressman's earlier regional work from subsequent Connley research.

    [S2]

  3. Plant-food analysis

    The research team published the sampled hearth and botanical evidence.

    [S1]

  4. Ecology and history

    Research examines long-term vegetation and human activity without turning a future research question into a proven result.
