Phase 2 Data Recovery Investigations at AZ T:4:150(ASM), A Multicomponent Rockshelter: Photo Log (2010)
ACS conducted Phase 2 data recovery at the Lake Pleasant Rockshelter site (AZ T:4:150[ASM]) in 2010 at the request of the Bureau of Reclamation, Phoenix Area Office. The proposed work plan for Phase 2 (Pinter et al. 2009) was accepted by Reclamation, and was implemented in two sessions due to inclement weather and rising lake levels. The first session occurred in January 2010, followed by a hiatus to allow the lake level to drop and the weather to cool; the second and final session occurred in...

POLLEN ANALYSIS AT THREE SITES IN THE VERDE VALLEY, ARIZONA (1989)
Pollen samples were analyzed from three sites (AZ N:4:23, PD-11, and PD-12) near Tuzigoot National Monument in the Verde Valley. Occupations include Hohokam, Sinagua, and historic Yavapai. Pollen samples collected at these sites represent living surfaces, a roasting pit, and two rock piles. Pollen analysis identified cultigens grown and addresses the subsistence base.
Pollen Analysis of Agricultural Terraces on La Plata Mesa, Agua Fria National Monument, Yavapai County, Arizona (2007) (2007)
Agricultural terraces from two sites on Perry Mesa (La Plata and Bull Tank) and one site at the north edge of Black Mesa (Richinbar Ruin) were investigated using pollen analysis. The samples are listed in Table 1 by site and context. The sites are located on mesas bounding canyons containing the headwaters of the Agua Fria River. Native populations of Agave parryi grown on the mesas and around sites grow hybrid agaves (Agave chrysantha x A. parryi) that are living artifacts of pre-Columbian...
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS ALONG STATE ROUTE 69 NORTH OF DEWEY, YAVAPAI COUNTY, ARIZONA (1990)
The archaeology in the Prescott region, specifically in the Dewey area, is relatively unknown. Pollen and macrofloral samples have been analyzed from three sites north of Dewey along State Route 69 specifically to discuss subsistence practices. Selection of samples focused on examination of material from pithouses, firepits, burial/roasting pits, burial pits, and deep round pits. Pollen and macrofloral remains were examined from sites AZ N:7:41 (ASM), AZ N:8:15 (ASM), and AZ N:8:16 (ASM). ...

Prehistoric Agriculture at La Plata: Exploring Soil Texture Changes across Features (2007)
Numerous factors affect soil composition, including the parent rock, time, rainfall, wind, and animal burrowing and wastes, but human activities undoubtedly cause the most extensive change in soil properties over the shortest periods of time. At Pueblo La Plata, intensive agricultural practices were utilized for just over 200 years, and yet, six centuries later, the legacies created on the landscape are still as visible. This paper will focus on the effects of prehistoric agriculture on soil...
A Preliminary Evaluation of the Verde Confederacy Model: Testing Expectations of Pottery Exchange in the Central Arizona Highlands (2010)
Regional demographic movements during the mid 13th-14th centuries signaled corresponding changes to social and economic networks throughout the American Southwest. In the high mesa country of central Arizona large, masonry pueblos were constructed around AD 1250–1300 overlooking the vertical walls of Perry Mesa, in the Bloody Basin, and along the middle Verde River valley. As these settlement clusters coalesced, a 45 km expanse of empty land opened between the upland pueblos and the densely...

PROTEIN RESIDE ANALYSIS FOR SAMPLES FROM SITES AZ M:8:90 (AMS), AZ M:8:94 (AMS), AZ M:8:95 (AMS), AZ M:8:99 (AMS), AZ M:8:108 (AMS), AZ M:8:107 (AMS), AZ M:8:102 (AMS), AND AZ M:8:105 (AMS), ARIZONA (2010)
Protein residue wash samples conducted in the field on 24 grinding slicks, a mano, and a metate, were submitted to PRI for protein residue analysis using cross-over immunoelectrophoresis. These tools were discovered during the Bagdad Solar project, located in Yavapai County, Arizona. Protein residue analysis will test for the presence of animal and plant proteins that may be present on the working surfaces of these tools.
