    Description/Abstract:
    This research is focused on botanical remains from the late Hopewell and Woodland time period, around the 5th century A.D. from Newtown, Ohio. Many burial graves as well as artifacts of domestic debris were recovered, including flint, pottery, bone, numerous fragments of hardwood charcoal, and some plant species thought to be domesticated. This research sought to identify all the plant remains excavated from the Newtown Fire Station archaeological site, uncovered during the construction of a porch addition to the firehouse. These remains were identified using an electron microscope and organized by taxa, weighed, and photographed. After the remains were examined for identification purposes, they were studied for environmental context. Among the remains found were several fruit, nut, crop, and hardwood species. These preserved and charred remains serve as botanical evidence for the reconstruction of survival strategies of the past Newtown inhabitants, as well as diets and other domestic plant uses.
