TL;DR: In this article, microdrills, microblades, and microcores from the Powell Mound (11-Ms-46) and the Dunham tract of the Cahokia site near St. Louis, and a small number of Jaketown perforators were examined for microwear traces, using the methods outlined by L. H. Keeley.

TL;DR: An integration of geophysical surveys, ground hyperspectral data, aerial photographs and high resolution satellite imagery for supporting archaeological investigations at the multi-component Vesztő-Magor Tell, located in the southeastern Great Hungarian Plain, is presented in this article.

TL;DR: A review of recent research on lithic technology and functional analysis is presented in this article, where the authors focus on replication and technological analysis of chipped stone artifacts and microwear analysis, and consider the implications of this research.

TL;DR: In this article, geophysical prospection and soil chemical analyses were conducted at the Early Copper Age (ECA, ca. 4500-3900 cal BC) site of Veszto-Bikeri as part of the Koros Regional Archaeological Project investigations of the Neolithic-Copper Age transition on the Great Hungarian Plain.

TL;DR: In this paper, stable isotope values in human burials, analyses of floral and faunal remains from pits and middens filled throughout the year, and diachronic studies of deer size and herd stability indicate that the Cahokia elite consumed a variety of foods including substantial amounts of fish and venison.
