Abstract
Michael B. Collins
The Use of Petroleum by Late Archaic and Early Woodland Peoples in
Jefferson County, Kentucky
Journal of Field Archaeology 8 (1981) 55--64
Asphalt was used as a mastic and oil shale rocks were used as fuel at
two prehistoric sites in SW Jefferson County, Kentucky. These
findings have implications for prehistoric cultural ecology, lithic
use-wear studies, archaeological data-recovery methods, and cultural
resource management.
