These artifacts have been recovered from both well-provenienced excavation as well as
surface and back dirt localities. Chronologically the artifacts range from Clovis to Early Archaic contexts, though many of the unprovenienced artifacts came from the mixed overburden and probably also represent Middle Archaic to Late Prehistoric contexts.

Interestingly, despite the long persistence of an essentially stable seasonal visitation pattern which is centered upon latest summer through mid- to late-fall site use, the intensity of rockshelter utilization (measured in length of visitation interval and/or persons per visit) is highly variable. Prior to and after Late Archaic/Transitional and Early Woodland times (ca. 4000–100 B.C. uncalibrated), the pattern of site visitation by any index is rather light. During the Late Archaic/Transitional and Early Woodland intervals, site utilization is much heavier based on all available lines of evidence. The spatial and temporal patterns of site use at Meadowcroft during the Holocene are detailed and related to broader patterns of Cross Creek Drainage-wide prehistoric visitation. Several potential explanations are offered for the heavier pattern of site use do...

At both sites, 32MZ319 and 32MZ380, multiple paleosols are present, each of which is terminated by an episode of aeolian deposition. Fifteen radiocarbon dates on these paleosols establish an incipient chronology for paleosol development in the study area and permit correlation with other High Plains archaeological complexes. Geological and archaeological data for the two multiple paleosol sites are summarized.
