Abstract Maya Research Program (MRP) has conducted archaeological investigations in Northwestern Belize for twenty plus years. We received a grant from the Botanical Research Institute of Texas to make plant collections in a rainforest remnant, home to the archaeological site of Grey Fox. The team at MRP wished to understand the forest to protect it and the site. In collaboration, we rendered samples of most plant species there, documented ethnobotanical information about the specimens, and gave new insights into ways the collections could be queried to potentially shed light on Ancient Maya plant use and adaptations, subsistence pattern evolution, climate change patterns, and more.

The Dead Cow site is an early to mid-19th century archaeological site located within the northern part (Sabine River basin) of the proposed Republic of Texas 1836 Cherokee Indians land grant in East Texas, generally east of the downtown area of the modem city of Tyler. Cherokee Indians had moved into East Texas by the early 1820s, and "most of the Cherokees cleared land and carved out farms in the uninhabited region directly north of Nacogdoches, on the upper branches of the Neches, Angelina, and Sabine rivers. By 1822 their population had grown to nearly three hundred." To date, historic archaeological sites identified as being occupied by the Cherokee during their ca. 1820-1839 settlement of East Texas remain illusive, and to my knowledge no such sites have been documented to date in the region. This article considers, from an examination of the historic artifact assemblage found here, the possibility that the Dead Cow site is a Cherokee habitation site.

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma síntese das intervenções realizadas no Complexo Arqueológico Três Fronteiras, uma área que até o momento apresentou um total de 16 abrigos sob rocha quartzítica, todos com marcas evidentes de ocupação humana. A área está localizada na Serra do Espinhaço Meridional, mais precisamente em sua face leste (Serra Negra), nordeste de Minas Gerais, na bacia do Araçuaí, municípios de Felício dos Santos e de Senador Modestino Gonçalves. O abrigo no 7 foi escavado por uma equipe multidisciplinar com a intenção de obter datas e repertório cultural para posteriores análises e discussões com os resultados de outros sítios regionais escavados. Logo, o sítio Três Fronteiras no 7 obteve data de 4100 ± 30 anos AP. situando sua ocupação durante o Holoceno Médio, resultado comum para outros abrigos locais. TRÊS FRONTEIRAS ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE No 7: A Shelter of The Mid-Holocene in the Araçuaí River Basin, Minas GeraisABSTRACTThe objective of this article is to summarize the interventions so far carried out within the Três Fronteiras Archaeological Complex, composed by 16 quartzite rock shelters with outstanding evidences of human occupation. The area is located in the eastern border of the southern Espinhaço range (Serra Negra), in which is drained by the Araçuaí river basin, in the municipalities of Felício dos Santos and Senador Modestino Gonçalves, Minas Gerais. The shelter no 7 was excavated by a multidisciplinary team with the intention of obtaining ages and material culture for further analysis and comparison with other archaeological sites. The oldest evidence of occupation within the site was dated in 4100 ± 30 yr BP. (Mid Holocene), which is coherent with the chronologies found in other sites.keywords: Espinhaço Meridional Range; Mid-Holocene; Três Fronteiras; Landscapes; Paleoenvironment.
