An Assessment of Archaeological Data Quality (Legacy 07-353)
PROJECT Uploaded by: Courtney Williams

This pilot study explores issues involved in the quality of archaeological data used by the Department of Defense to comply with Federal statutes and regulations. The goal was to determine the potential value and benefit of establishing key quality indicators for archaeological data by examining the statistical implications of current approaches to finding and defining archaeological sites and the effects of these approaches on data quality.

POLLEN AND DIATOM ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENTS FROM METAMORPHOSE POINT (SITE BHT 8 and BHT 4; PROJECT NO. 560-033), FORT BLISS, NEW MEXICO (2008)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings. Chad Yost.

A total of seven pollen samples and one sample for diatom analysis were submitted from Metamorphose Point (Site BHT 8). These samples were collected from two different sections of a trench cut. Two sections were sampled at the site. Section 1 included a paleosol (2Ab) that was sampled at the bottom, middle, and top for pollen analysis to better understand the local paleoenvironment. Section 2 is represented by pollen samples from the bottom, middle, and top of possible playa deposits. In...

Four sites from the Ft. Bliss Project 560-007 yielded ground stone that was sampled for pollen and protein residue analysis directed towards recovering information concerning the use of these pieces of ground stone. In addition, one sample was submitted for charcoal identification. The sites are located on the basin floor between the Franklin, Organ, and San Andreas Mountains.
