Ronald Watson Gravel site
| Region | Boone County, Kentucky |
|---|
The Ronald Watson Gravel Site (15Be249) is an archaeological site near Petersburg in Boone County, Kentucky, on an inside bend of a meander of the Ohio River. Excavations have determined that the site was occupied several times, during the Late Archaic, Middle Woodland, Late Woodland, and Middle Fort Ancient periods, although none of these are transitional occupations from one period to another.[1]
Site description
The eastern side of the site was occupied twice during the Late Archaic period, 3715 plus or minus 40 years before the present during the Central Ohio Valley Phase (2750-1750 BCE) and 3090 plus or minus 50 years before the present, during the Maple Creek Phase (1750-1000 BCE).[1]
Middle Fort Ancient culture (1200 to 1400 CE)
