In the summer of 2007 the Settler's Ridge site (33-AS-32), an Early Woodland upland encampment, was investigated through a series of cultural resource investigations. Excavations at the site suggest a single or limited occupation during the Early Woodland sometime between 569 to 624 B.C. The size of the site, depositional patterning of the artifacts, and feature outlay indicate a small sized encampment probably related to hunting activities in the uplands. This article summarizes the analysis of the lithic and ceramic assemblages, radiocarbon dates, site structure, and the depositional patterning evident at the site. Pottery recovered during excavations is Leimbach Cordmarked, which is representative of much of the northern Ohio area during the Early Woodland. Few Early Woodland upland sites in northern Ohio containing pottery have been intensively studied. Consequently, Settler's Ridge adds important information on how upland landforms were used during this period.

Numerous historical residential sites are recorded yearly in eastern Ohio as a result of CRM investigations. Most do not result in the accumulation of intensive data due to prior disturbances, small artifact assemblages, or lack of corroborative historical information. This article summarizes results of the investigation of the Tarr log house located in Jefferson County, Ohio. Excavations and artifact analysis identified depositional patterning around the house foundation that indicated differing uses of the surrounding yard during the nineteenth century versus later occupations. Depositional patterning was also successful in determining architectural features associated with the house not evident on the surface. Use of ceramic index values (Manson and Snyder, 1997; Miller, 1980, 1991) in conjunction with historical research of the families associated with the site resulted in the creation of two socioeconomic status patterns. The patterns and findings discovered at Tarr are compared with other contemporary sites in Ohio. *Ohio American Energy, Inc. receives special thanks as they agreed to and paid for the surveys of the site and curation of the artifact assemblage.

The Yellowbush Creek Camp site is a Late Archaic encampment located on a terrace at the confluence of Yellowbush Creek and the Ohio River near Racine, Ohio. The large sized site may represent either an aggregated base camp or constitute continued reuse of the landform by a series of smaller occupations over time. The dominant component of the site is a Maple Creek Phase deposit dating between 1900 and 1270 B.C. This article summarizes the analysis of the lithic and ceramic assemblages, faunal and floral data, radiocarbon dates, and site structure. The results obtained at Yellowbush Creek Camp are then placed in a wider context of how it contributes to the Maple Creek Phase in southern Ohio and northern Kentucky.
