The Ripley site is a Late Woodland through Historic period Iroquoian site located on a bluff overlooking the southern shore of Lake Erie in Western New York in the town of Ripley. Numerous authors have mentioned the presence of a midden along the eastern slope of the site, where prehistoric inhabitants cast refuse down the slope toward Young’s Run. The primary focus of this research is to examine the soils along the eastern slope to determine the origins of those deposits. This research will further reconstruct the depositional processes along the backslope, footslope, and toeslope of the eastern bluff, as well as determine if cultural refuse disposal from the prehistoric occupation of the Ripley site occurred along the eastern slope.

纽约里普利里普利遗址人为土壤的崩积沉积

里普利遗址是一个晚期林地至历史时期易洛魁人遗址，位于悬崖上，俯瞰纽约西部里普利镇伊利湖的南岸。许多作者都提到沿该遗址的东坡存在一个垃圾堆，史前居民在那里向 Young's Run 的斜坡下扔垃圾。这项研究的主要重点是检查沿东坡的土壤，以确定这些沉积物的来源。本研究将进一步重建沿东断崖后坡、下坡和前坡的沉积过程，并确定沿东坡是否发生了史前占领里普利遗址的文化垃圾处理。
