MEASURING THE PROPERTIES OF ROCK VARNISH ON PETROGLYPHS: A COMPARISON OF THREE METHODS OF ANALYSIS USED ON DATED GRAFFITI AND ANCIENT PETROGLYPHS AT THREE SITES IN ARIZONA
Archaeologists, as well as petroglyph and pictograph researchers more specifically, have striven for years to develop scientific means for dating petroglyphs, through both direct and indirect methods. For years, the conventional wisdom has been that the older a petroglyph is, the darker it will appear because of the constant process of varnish formation that occurs on rocks in arid environments. This study focused on analyzing varnish formation on both dated inscriptions and undated precolumbian...

The Operation and Evolution of an Irrigation System: The East Papago Canal Study (1991)
Archaeological investigations sponsored by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) were conducted by Soil Systems, Inc. (SSI) at several sites within the East Papago Freeway corridor, including El Caserío (AZ T:12:49(ASM)), La Lomita (AZ U:9:67(ASM)), and La Lomita Pequeña (AZ U:9:66(ASM)). During the investigation of these sites, a significant number of canal alignments were encountered, prompting the sponsoring of the East Papago Canal Study by ADOT. Canal System 2, traversed by the...
An Overview and Assessment of Middle Verde Valley Archeology (2008)
It has been 30 years since Paul and Suzanne Fish (1977) prepared the first archeological overview and assessment of the Verde Valley. During that time, as the saying goes, “everything has changed, and nothing has changed.” One very significant change is that, as a result of federal legislation requiring archeological survey and evaluation of archeological resources prior to federally financed or sanctioned land modification activities, hundreds of compliance driven archeological surveys and a...
Patterns of Lithic Use at AZ Q:1:42, Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona: Data Revovery along the Mainline Road (1983)
During Phase I of the project to reconstruct the Mainline Road (Pkg. 140) at Petrified Forest National Park, a two-component site, AZ Q:1:42, will be disturbed. To mitigate the impacts of the project, staff from the Western Archeological and Conservation Center conducted data recovery in August 1983. The site included four loci, two dated to the Basketmaker III period (A.D. 700 to A.D. 775) and two dated tentatively to the Pueblo II and Early Pueblo III periods (A.D. 950 to A.D. 1150). A large...

Petrified Forest National Park Boundary Survey, 1988: The Final Season (1989)
The fourth and final season of the Petrified Forest National Park Boundary Survey was conducted from June 27 to July 15, 1988. Twenty-one miles of quarter-mile-wide corridor were surveyed along the northern and western edges of the Painted Desert. Additional survey was conducted in various localities throughout the park including Pilot Rock, Mountain Lion Mesa and a ridge system southeast of Agate House. Intensive rock art recording at Mountain Lion Mesa was undertaken upon completion of...
Petrofacies Model Development and Petrographic Analysis of Sherds from State Route 260 – Payson to Heber Archaeological Project, Gila County, Arizona (2016)
Petrographic analysis of sand and ceramic samples collected during the State Route 260 – Payson to Heber Archaeological Project aimed to investigate the production and exchange of pottery in this area. The quantitative analysis of sand thin sections allowed two areas of distinct sand composition (petrofacies) to be identified. When the sand temper in the sherds was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively, it was revealed that most samples throughout the project area were produced with sand...
