Influence of Flake Morphology on Fluvial Transportation and Site Formation Interpretation
… in flowing water. Many archaeological sites are located near fluvial environments where flowing water can potentially alter debitage assemblages. Previous researchers have studied the relationship between flake morphology and flowing water. However, these studies often focus on the …

New insights into the binding site formation and the performance of molecularly imprinted polymers
… This research focuses on understanding binding site formation and performance, and improvement of the MIPs. Chapter 1 introduces the concept of the MIPs, and binding isotherm and affinity distribution of heterogeneous binding sites in the MIPs. Chapter 2 describes fundamental studies conducted …

Stratigraphy and Site Formation at the Sanders Site (45 KT 315), Kittitas County, Washinton
The Sanders site (45KT315) was excavated in 1971 and 1972 by Central Washington State College under the direction of Dr. William Smith, then Associate Professor of Anthropology at CWSC. A total of 88 1 x 1 meter units were excavated up to 270 cm below surface. During the initial excavations and in …

Mechanisms and catalyst design for heterogeneous Olefin metathesis
… olefin metathesis that comprises carbene site formation, stable metathesis, and active site decay. We demonstrate why this expanded mechanism is necessary to explain reaction order behavior for propylene on WO₃/SiO₂ and the presence of site formation byproducts during isobutene …

Data Potential of Archaeological Deposits at the Chelan Station Site
The Chelan Station Site (45CH782/783), located along the Rocky Reach of the Columbia River, includes lithic and faunal artifacts buried beneath volcanic tephra from Mt. Mazama (6,830 BP). Artifacts were inadvertently discovered in buried soils within a secondary alluvial terrace during construction …

Geoarchaeology in semi-arid landscapes
… Research has focused on cave and rock shelter sites with fine stratigraphy and good preservation, often overlooking the potential of open-air sites in the semi-arid interior. Research at open-air sites poses analytical difficulties, such as poor preservation of organic materials, which has led …
