Hunters of the Mid-Holocene forest : old Cordilleran culture sites at Granite Falls, Washington / James C. Chatters, Jason B. Cooper, Philippe D. LeTourneau.
"This manuscript is based on excavations of three prehistoric sites located in western Washington, near the town of Granite Falls, and classified as The Old Cordilleran Culture/Tradition or OCT. This cultural designation was initially based on archaeological observations by B. Robert Butler in 1961. The three archaeological sites were designated as part of the Olcott Complex, a lithic industry and the name given to OCT material in western Washington. Little work has subsequently been completed that adds to the overall view Butler proposed and there is a lack of documented regional variation. This is partially due to poor preservation of cultural and organic materials and bioturbation of soils. This cultural tradition is thought to have originally been part of a later migration of people during the early Holocene from what is now Siberia. The date range of site occupation is between 7690 and 9630 cal BP"-- Provided by publisher.
