Environment Research (Investigation Type)
These are studies that examine aspects of the present or past natural environment to provide a context, often off-site, for interpreting archaeological resources. Sometimes reported in stand-alone volumes representing significant research, such investigations may include geomorphological, paleontological, or palynological work.

Archaeological Monitoring within the Southwest Germann Site, Former Williams Air Force Base, Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona (2012)
The U.S. Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment retained URS Corporation (URS) to conduct a preliminary assessment and site inspection (PA/SI) of the Debris Area, subsequently designated Munitions Response Area (MRA) XU403, located at the former Williams Air Force Base (AFB) in Mesa, Arizona. The PA/SI was undertaken to determine whether there are munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) or any releases (contaminants), as defined by the Comprehensive Environmental Response,...
Archaeological Overview and Assessment of the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia (2005)
At the request of the National Park Service (NPS), the Archaeological Research Laboratory (ARL) at the University of Tennessee’s (UT’s) Department of Anthropology has prepared an Archaeological Overview and Assessment (AOA) of the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park (CUGA). The primary purpose of this AOA is to investigate, describe, and assess the known and potential archaeological resources within the CUGA boundaries. An AOA is the first step in creating a comprehensive cultural resource...
Archaeological Palynology and Correspondence Analysis: A Case Study (1996)
Paper presented at the IX International Pollen Conference, Archaeological Palynology Symposium, Houston TX.
Archaeological Palynology at AZ 2282: The Pilot Study (1999)
Study of a collection of pollen samples collected from AZ 22822 during summer, 1998. The study was principally undertaken to provide opportunities for students to obtain training and develop initial expertise in the skills and disciplines of archaeological pollen analysis. The 32 samples were from proxy surface, dune and pithouse contexts. Analysis used pollen categories rather than traditional pollen taxa. Results suggest the site's occupation history incorporates 5 distinct episodes of...
Archaeological Pollen Analyses from North-central Wisconsin (1966)
Study of 30 surface and 18 archaeological-context pollen samples was undertaken to assess the potential for further archaeological palynology research. Surface sample analysis allows palynological recognition of eight habitat types ranging from dry and cold through wet and moist to dry and warm. Comparison of fossil and modern surface pollen data suggests the character of paleoecological change sequences at 4 sites, a positive potential for inter-site and intra-site relative cross-dating, and a...
Archaeological Pollen Analysis of Copan Reservoir Sediment Samples (1975)
Draft of palynological study published in S.C. Vehik and R.A. Pailes, 1979, Excavations in the Copan Reservoir of Northeaastern Oklahoma and Southeastern Kansas. Research Series 4, Archaeological Research and Management Center, University of Oklahoma: 225-238.
An Archaeological Pollen Analysis of Joe’s Valley Alcove (1981)
Analysis of palynological and radiocarbon data from this site with comparable data from other sites leads to a general paleoenvironmental model covering the 8300-6000 B.P. period for the American Southwest. This allows reconstruction of the character of paleoclimatic variations on the resources used by the Archaic occupants of this cave site, and assessment of theories of the Anthropology of Southwestern Archaic populations.

An Archaeological Pollen Study of Check Dam Samples at Grand Canyon National Park (1986)
Version of 1976 Marble Canyon report prepared for publication. Rejected by, "Plateau."
Archaeological Pollen Study of Two Dune Sites in New Mexico (1976)
Study of the pollen of 4 surface and 41 stratigraphic and archaeological-context sediment samples was undertaken to provide independent evidence of the antiquity of sites LA 11828 and LA 11904, and of the hypothesis the two sites had the same cultural functions. The pollen record suggests the two sites differ in antiquity: the occupation horizon samples from LA 11828 correspond to others that date to the Historic Period, while those from LA 11904 correspond to others that date 1800 - 300 B.C....
Archaeological Probabilistic Modeling of the Charleston Naval Weapons Station, Berkeley and Charleston Counties, South Carolina (1999)
As part of the Phase II testing of 29 archaeological sites and the Phase I archaeological survey of approximately 4,000 acres of the Charleston Naval Weapons Station (NWS), this study uses previous archaeological research to develop a GIS-based probabilistic model (set of equations) that can be employed as a land management tool. The model identifies land units most likely to contain archaeological sites from specific time periods. Fifteen GIS data layers were generated representing the known or...
Archaeological Reconnaissance in the Upper Brazos River Basin (1973)
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is studying the feasibility of controlling the natural salt pollution of the Brazos River and its tributaries. A plan to establish control of the major sources of salt pollution in the Upper Brazos River has been formulated. The plan calls for the construction of three total impoundment dams and interconnecting pipelines. Construction of the impoundments will prevent salt pollution from spreading throughout the entire length of the Brazos River and would allow...

Archaeological Resource Report: Arizona Highway Department Project F-043-1 (1), Hohokam Freeway (1973)
The following report has been prepared by the Arizona State Museum, University of Arizona, Tucson, at the request of the Environmental Planning Division of the Arizona Highway Department as an aid in identifying the impact of the proposed improvement on the archaeological resources of the region. Data presented has been gathered from two primary sources; a) archaeological survey of all areas to be utilized in construction, and b) archival and published material pertaining to the prehistory of...

This report presents the results of an archaeological survey and evaluation for the Post-Hurricane Sandy Dune Repair Project at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Brevard County, Florida. Archaeological field survey confirmed that 8BR79 is no longer extant. There was no evidence of the prehistoric shell midden component, and no in situ evidence of the historic component. A few non-diagnostic artifacts, including glass and iron fragments were recovered from within Historic Area #119. No...
