The Racetrack Project
PROJECT Will Russell. Katherine Spielmann. David Abbott. Arizona State University (ASU).

Between A.D. 1250 and 1450, a large number of ceremonial racetracks were built at and between villages in north-central Arizona. This assemblage began as a relatively dispersed collection, stretching from the Sedona area down to Cave Creek and from the Bradshaw Mountains to the Mazatzal Wilderness. Over time, the racetrack network grew in intensity but became spatially focused atop Perry Mesa, along the middle Agua Fria River. In conjunction with the Legacies on the Landscape Project and...

Recovered Civil War Era Bayonet - Electrolytic Conservation of Iron Artifacts (2009)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Fort Lee Regional Archaeological Curation Facility.

Due to the nature of the find, any contextual analysis of the artifact would be purely speculative. The bayonet was recovered from a deep excavation pit which contained several layers of artificial fill which had, over time, been added on top of the natural strata of the original ground surface. Without out knowing the exact positioning within the layers it can not be determined if the artifact was in its original place of deposition or it was brought in as part of the fill. The area of...
