Abstract
ABSTRACT Charred seeds, including those of goosefoot, amaranth, sedge, and possibly nightshade, were recovered from a Late Paleoindian context at the Bull Creek site in the Oklahoma panhandle. The use of these early successional plant resources at Bull Creek furthers our understanding of Paleoindian subsistence practices on the Plains, where preservation of plant remains is historically under-represented or under-reported. Bull Creek establishes an association between Paleoindians, broad-spectrum hunting, and wild-seed exploitation on the southern High Plains by 10,270 cal BP and documents an early phase of human/plant association in the mid latitudes of North America.
