1-25 (67 Records)
Faunal data from Albert Porter Pueblo, excavated by Crow Canyon Archaeological Center 2001-2004. Faunal analysis was by Shaw Badenhorst and Jonathan C. Driver in 2008, using methodology described in the CCAC Manual for the Description of Vertebrate Remains. Context information was integrated by Karen G. Schollmeyer in 2011 using data supplied by CCAC. Site dates are AD 1020-1280, fauna is from the period AD 1060-1280. Users should reference both this dataset and Badenhort's 2008 dissertation...

Basketmaker Community Features (2020)
The Basketmaker Communities Project, a multi-faceted research and public education archaeological initiative undertaken by Crow Canyon from 2011 through 2017. The primary purpose of the Basketmaker Communities Project was to study the history and social organization of a large Basketmaker III period (A.D. 500–750) settlement in the central Mesa Verde region and to track the long-term impacts of that settlement on later populations. This dataset contains data on the features documented from...

Botanical Resources: Corn (1985)
The corn dataset was used in association with an intensive botanical study designed to identify different varieties of corn in the assemblage of corn cobs and plant fragments recovered in the course of DAP fieldwork. The variables in this dataset contain information and measurements pertaining to the number or rows of kernels on an ear, its shape and size, and various details about glumes, cupules, and kernels. Variables for the CORN10 dataset have been described by Wilshusen et al. (1999);...
Botanical Resources: Pollen (1985)
The pollen dataset contains basic provenience data for each pollen sample collected. These data are accompanied by taxonomic classification and the grain count per taxon. Detailed locational information can be obtained by linking this dataset with the provenience dataset. Variables for the corn dataset have already been described by Wilshusen et al. (1999). In most cases, their descriptions are suitable for use as metadata and have been repeated almost verbatim here. Selected resources from the...

Castle Rock Pueblo faunal dataset (2011)
Faunal data from Castle Rock Pueblo, excavated by Crow Canyon Archaeological Center 1990-1994. Faunal analysis was by Jonathan C. Driver in 2000, using methodology described in the CCAC Manual for the Description of Vertebrate Remains. Context information was integrated by Karen G. Schollmeyer in 2011 using data supplied by CCAC. Faunal material is from the period AD 1256-1285. Additional information on Castle Rock Pueblo and its fauna is available on the web at...
CCAC Synthetic Archaeobotany Table: All Charred Plant Taxa and Parts Identified (2021)
This table provides a complete list of identified charred plant taxa recovered from systematically collected flotation and opportunistically gathered macrofossil samples from 43 Central Mesa Verde area Ancestral Puebloan settlements occupied ca. AD 420-1280 that were excavated by Crown Canyon Archaeological Center. For information concerning archaeobotanical analysis methods and identification criteria see references for Adams 2004 and Adams and Murray 2004 in the Crow Canyon Archaeobotanical...
CCAC Synthetic Archaeobotany Table: Top Plant Ranking and Ubiquity Data (2021)
This table presents ranking information for the top ten plant foods and top five fuelwoods based on presence (ubiquity) synthesized across 43 Ancestral Puebloan settlements occupied ca. AD 500-1280 excavated by Crow Canyon Archaeological Center. Rankings are listed both for each period and the overall rank for each taxon across all periods is also provided. Ubiquities for each taxon (calculated from all samples) are also displayed and, where a minimum of ten samples are available, thermal...
Ceramics: Temporal-Spatial Dataset (1988)
The Additive Technologies Group (ATG) was responsible for supporting the broad research goals of the DAP through the implementation of mid-level research design governing the collection and analysis of data from “material culture that results from the technological combinations of a variety of raw materials” (Blinman 1986a:57). While these items include worked vegetal material (e.g., basketry and textiles), much of the work performed by the ATG relates to a large ceramic assemblage including...

Chronometric Dating (1985)
The results of chronometric analysis on special specimen samples collected for dating can be found in this dataset. Samples are linked to basic provenience data such as site and field specimen number. The temporal range for each sample will be indicated by variables for earliest and latest dates. These variables give the innermost and outermost dates of wood submitted for dendrochronological dating and their corresponding Tree-Ring Lab symbols indicating how close the date provided is to the...

Cottontail Procurement (1987)
Flint and Neusius’ (1987) examination of the assemblage of cottontail remains from the Dolores Anasazi faunal record is an especially good example of synthetic research contributions to DAP research. Their study utilized the subset of the DAP faunal assemblage contained within the BUNNY10 dataset (Flint and Neusius 1987:257). Since the two species of cottontail utilized by the Dolores Anasazi have distinct habitat preferences, their relative abundances provided an opportunity to track patterns...
