dc.description Taber Well (33HO611) is situated above a marsh environmental of diverse wildlife and the floodplain of Monday Creek, a tributary of the Hocking River. Excavation and analysis set out to determine the function, size, and chronology of the site. Site chronology indicates the presence of prehistoric hunter-gatherers from Early Archaic through the Middle Woodland periods. This long span of time was a period of early technological invention and transitional subsistence from hunter/gatherer societies to early horticultural societies. Taber Well is located approximately 2 kilometers northeast of a natural Upper Mercer outcrop, exposed by an adjacent stream, Kitchen Run. Laboratory analysis identifies a complete reduction sequence for Upper Mercer, Brush Creek and Flint Ridge/Vanport chert. Abundant debitage and diverse tool assemblage, chronology of point types and radiometric dates, numerous post-molds and hearth features, suggest that this site was revisited for occupation and for reduction of large blocks of chert and cores into workable performs or complete tools. Analysis confirms a utilization of Taber Well for occupation and lithic reduction during the Archaic to Middle Woodland periods. en_US
