“…Prehistoric groups inhabiting the OCP would likely have depended on marine resources to a great degree. Archaeological findings suggest a diet that included fish, shellfish, turtle, and terrestrial resources including deer and nuts (Bierbrauer, 2000;Bierbrauer et al, 2002Bierbrauer et al, , 2008Grossman-Bailey, 2001;Morris, 1997;Mounier, 1981Mounier, , 1991aMounier, , 1991bMounier, , 1997Ranere and Hansell, 1985;Stanzeski, 1996;Stewart, 1995Stewart, , 1998bWhite, 1974). There are sites in southern New Jersey where shell pits occur, yet bone is largely absent, indicating a focus on shellfish resources (Grossman-Bailey, 2001).…”

“…The majority of Late Woodland habitation sites on the OCP have been defined as small, short term and mostly procurement oriented, particularly during warmer months (based on faunal assemblages; Bierbrauer, 2000;Bierbrauer et al, 2008;Mounier, 1991bMounier, , 1997Ranere and Hansell, 1985;Stewart, 1995Stewart, , 1998aStewart, , 1998b. In contrast, sites on the Inner Coastal Plain have been defined as hamlets and villages (Bierbrauer, 2000;Bierbrauer et al, 2008;Cross, 1941;Mounier, 1991bMounier, , 1997Ranere and Hansell, 1985;Stewart, 1995Stewart, , 1998aStewart, , 1998b. Cultural interactions and affinities linking the peoples of the OCP with the inhabitants of the broader Delaware Valley are apparent in the ceramics of the region (Mounier, 1974(Mounier, , 1982Stewart, 1998aStewart, , 1998b.…”

This preliminary study investigates an alternative method to exploring and understanding the presence of maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) in prehistoric human settlement areas using stable isotope ratios from dog (Canis familiaris) bone as a surrogate to human bone. Using this methodology, this pilot study aims to begin to provide insight into the presence and prominence of maize within the subsistence economies of 2 prehistoric populations in coastal New Jersey-an area where some researchers argue people relied little upon this tropical domesticate. The third sample included in this study is from a prehistoric population in Pennsylvania where cultivation and consumption of maize have been evidenced by macrobotanical remains and stable isotope analyses on human bone. Data derived from this project offers the potential to provide new insight into the distribution of maize into the coastal regions of the Middle Atlantic, as well as enhance our understanding of the diversity of applications for stable isotope analyses in the investigation of human subsistence patterns. *Earlier versions of this article were presented at the annual meetings of the Eastern States Archaeological Federation and the Middle Atlantic Archaeological Conference.

We introduce a parameter space for periodic point sets, given as unions of $m$ translates of point lattices. In it we investigate the behavior of the sphere packing density function and derive sufficient conditions for local optimality. Using these criteria we prove that perfect, strongly eutactic lattices cannot be locally improved to yield a periodic sphere packing with greater density. This applies in particular to the densest known lattice sphere packings in dimension $d\leq 8$ and $d=24$.Comment: 20 pages, 1 table; some corrections, incorporated referee suggestion

Abstract. New nonlattice sphere packings in dimensions 20, 22, and 44-47 that are denser than the best previously known sphere packings were recently discovered. We extend these results, showing that the density of many sphere packings in dimensions just below a power of 2 can be doubled using orthogonal binary codes. This produces new dense sphere packings in R n for n = 25, 26, . . . , 31 and 55, 56, . . . , 63. For n = 27, 28, 29, 30 the resulting packings are denser than any packing previously known.
