The King’s Quarry site (36LH2), located in the Reading Prong region of eastern Pennsylvania, is one of six remaining jasper quarries mapped by the late James Hatch and reported in 1994. Several archaeological investigations were conducted there in preparation for a housing development. These investigations included controlled surface collections, hand excavated test units, and extensive mechanical investigations of mining pits. Pre-Contact era quarry pits were profiled in what appeared to be the most intensively mined area of the site. Several charcoal samples were collected from the profile which documented a prehistoric excavation over 7 m deep. A Paleoindian fluted preform along with other typical Paleoindian tools were recovered from the perimeter of the quarry pit. We present the results of the field testing and an extensive analysis of the artifacts. Despite the jumble of overlapping mining pits and historic farming activities, the site retains both horizontal and vertical integrity.

宾夕法尼亚州里海县国王贾斯珀采石场

国王采石场(36LH2)位于宾夕法尼亚州东部的雷丁爪地区,是已故的詹姆斯·哈奇(James Hatch)绘制并于1994年报告的剩下的六个碧玉采石场之一。在那里进行了几次考古调查,以开发住房。这些调查包括受控的地面收集,手动挖掘的测试装置以及矿井的广泛机械调查。接触前时代的采石场在似乎是该矿场开采最密集的区域进行了剖析。从剖面收集了一些木炭样本,这些样本记录了7 m深的史前发掘。从采石场的周边回收了古印度有槽的预成型坯以及其他典型的古印度工具。我们介绍了现场测试的结果以及对工件的广泛分析。尽管有多个矿井重叠和历史悠久的耕作活动,但该场地仍保持了水平和垂直方向的完整性。
