You are excavating high altitude sites in the Rocky Mountain region and are finding evidence of paleoindian occupations. Now you are trying to find out whether other archaeological traditions in other geographic regions and time periods show evidence of human activities (e.g. projectile points, scrapers, bifaces, etc.) and structures (e.g. camps, shelters) with hunting game animals (e.g. bison, elk, moose, caribou). Ideally you would like to focus only on sites found in high elevations. eHRAF Archaeology can help find this type of detailed information. All searches get “channeled” through major regions such as North and South America. Then you can click archaeological traditions (e.g. Highland Andean Archaic) to find the results the paragraph or page-level of documents such as books, journal articles, essays, or dissertations. You can keep searches simple or turn them into powerful searches using HRAF specific subjects, keywords, and clauses. This screenshot of an Advanced Search gives you an idea of how this works using a subject/word search combo. Contact Christiane Cunnar at [email protected] to request a temporary log-in for eHRAF Archaeology, and don’t forget to tell her a little bit about your research topic so that she can give you some search tips.
