- Abstract
The Mykut Rockshelter, 36Hu 143, an upland rockshelter in the Upper Juniata River drainage, served repeatedly as a deer hunting and butchering station. Although the rockshelter may have first been used as early as the Paleoindian or Early Archaic period, much of the recorded activities there seems to date to the Late Woodland period (AD 900-1650). Fine-grained excavation techniques yielded abundant data on the organization of subsistence activities at the site, allowing a comparison with the use of nearby Sheep Rock Shelter (36Hu1) and a reconstruction of the Mykut Roekshelter's role in local prehistoric settlement.
