The Clarksville Deer—A Case History
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Abstract
The articulated skeleton of a deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was recovered from a depth of 10 feet under the bed of Pymatuning Creek, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, in sands and silts of Pleistocene origin. A radiocarbon date of 1150 ± 100 years B.P. (I-650) and wood of broad-leaved, deciduous trees establish a Postglacial origin for the skeleton. Deposition is believed to have been effected by stream meander in reworked Pleistocene valley outwash.
