This study is an in-depth analysis of the Lithic Artifacts excavated at the Pollock Works (a hilltop enclosure located outside Cedarville, Ohio). It is my intent to conduct a detailed analysis of the lithic artifacts from the Pollock Works in order to test the following hypothesis: Chipped stone artifacts at the Pollock Works are primarily from local and semi-local sources because these artifacts represent construction activities at the site rather than ceremonial practices. If the chert artifacts and flakes were primarily ceremonial, they would be comprised of primarily exotic cherts.I macroscopically analyzed the lithics excavated from Trench R and Trench T at the Pollock Works, 33 Gr 5, by Dr. Robert V. Riordan and Field School participants from Wright State University in Dayton, OH. Analysis concentrated on the identification of the types and sources of chert in the sample, using the Wright State classification scheme.This study is significant to the understanding of whether the Hopewell who built the Pollock Works used certain chert types in the construction of the earthwork versus the ritual aspect of the site. It was also important to analyze these lithics in order to help make inferences about the use of the Pollock Works. This study will eventually be useful to the final site report on the Pollock Works. It will also be a valuable reference tool for archaeologists studying the Pollock Works. / Department of Anthropology

A detailed study of a portion of the Valley and Ridge Province in eastern Tennessee was conducted to decipher its geologic nature and relation to surroundings and the Blountian phase of deformation. This area known as Crums Knob and is located nine miles south of Greenville, TN. Locally, the area owes its anomalous topography to inherited geologic structures. Crums Knob is bound in the north and south by tear faults and the main topographic feature represents a series of SW plunging folds. Deformation in three phases: folding, thrust faulting, and refolding. Stratigraphic relations show facies changes which affect the mechanical behavior of the Tellico Sandstone. When the sandstone is Underlain by the Lower Shale Unit or Lenoir Limestone, minor folds and thrust faulting occur within the Tellico Sandstone. But when it is underlain by the Knox Group, it deforms in the same way as the Knox Group forming broader folds.In a regional context, the following may be concluded: 1) The Blountian phase occurred from Upper Cambrian to the Middle Ordovician times, resulting in uplift of the terrain to the southeast. 2) The Middle Ordovician basin was developed as an isostatic response to the uplift. 3) Isostatic movements took place along fractures that were oriented W-NW and E-NE. As a result eroded limestone clasts were deposited along these fractures preserving the fractures' initial orientation. 4) During the Alleghanian Orogeny (?), there was a reactivation of these fractures moving blocks either: A) upward to form ramps as a response to the back load of advancing thrust sheets, or B) downward as a response to the direct load of the transported sheets. 5) Either of these movements controlled the pattern of tear faults in the Middle Ordovician basin in terms of their distribution density and length. 6) The Blountian Phase is diachronous, and its effects in the southeast were earlier than those in the northern regions.This area has not been mapped in detail and it merits a more intensive study regarding its petrographic and stratigraphic nature. / Department of Geology

The purpose of this investigation is to determine the effectiveness of projective well log analysis based upon data collected from Plummer Field located in Greene County, Indiana. Projective well log analysis consists of analyzing spontaneous potential (SP) logs from existing oil and gas wells in order to determine SP gradients that may be applied to locate other undiscovered hydrocarbon accumulations. Projective well log analysis was developed in 1963 by S.J. Pirson, however, the specific parameters employed in the Plummer Field investigation were developed in 1988 by Dr. R.H. Fluegeman in order to apply to the geologic conditions in southwestern Indiana.The results of this investigation indicate that SP gradients can be interpreted to determine hydrocarbon production potential in Plummer Field with a 62% to 73% certainty. Given the petroleum industry exploration success rate of 3% to 20%, it is believed that the SP gradients established in Plummer Field can be used to identify economical hydrocarbon accumulations in areas of similar geology such as other portions of the Illinois Basin and the Michigan Basin. / Department of Geology
