Ground Disturbance Monitoring (Investigation Type)

The River Basin Surveys concept marks a nationwide acceptance by archaeologists of a leading role in the conservationist movement. If one agrees that an increment of archaeological knowledge has value, then it follows that every time a site is excavated ahead of inundation the act is one of preservation of a national as well as an intellectual resource. Beginning in 1945, the River Basin Survey Papers describe inter-agency salvage archaeological projects in thirteen states which include Oregon,...

The Inter-Agency Archeological Salvage Program is a cooperative plan of the Smithsonian Institution; the National Park Service and the Bureau of Reclamation, Department of the Interior; and the Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army. It was formulated, through a series of interbureau agreements, for the purpose of recovering archeological and paleontological remains which would otherwise be lost as a result of the numerous projects for flood control, irrigation, hydroelectric power, and...

The archeological sites described herein were excavated during August and early September of 1948 in the McNary Reservoir, as part of the River Basin Surveys' program for the salvage of scientific and historic remains from areas to be flooded by the dams being built or to be built by the Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, and the Bureau of Reclamation, Department of the Interior. McNary Reservoir itself will occupy the Columbia River from Umatilla, Oregon, up to some 12 miles beyond...

The investigations upon which this report is based were carried out as a part of the inter-agency salvage program in the Missouri Basin and reflect the cooperation of a number of agencies and individuals. The work was instigated by the plan of the Bureau of Reclamation to construct the Heart Butte Dam, a unit of the comprehensive water-resources development program under the Pick-Sloan plan. The dam, now completed, is on the Heart River south of Glen Ullin, North Dakota., and is designed to...

During cultural resources monitoring of seismic testing within the SRP owned Salado Preserve, LSD recorded six new prehistoric archaeological sites (LSD 5-10) and updated the description of the previously recorded site, LSD-2.The seismic crew complied with all avoidance requests and no significant impacts to known or newly recorded cultural resources occurred. This report serves as an addendum to a previous cultural resources survey report entitled A Class III Cultural Resources Survey of 84...

The 8MR03538 White Ranch / De Soto site is one of the most thoroughly vetted and scientifically dated archaeological sites in recent history. It has been confirmed as a contact site of the 1539 entrada by conquistador Hernando de Soto and his army. This site identified to have multiple occupations was the location of one of Hernando de Soto’s early camps in the sixteenth century and was in later use during the seventeenth century Spanish mission and ranching period. This important First...

Data regarding grave form, dimensions, integrity, & placement of human remains within the feature were collected in the field by burial excavators using Soil Systems, Inc.'s cremation summary form. This form & coding sheets derived from it can also be found in tDAR. Bone mass data were collected in the lab by one of SSI's osteologists. Five cremations were excavated during this project. All remains & associated artifacts were repatriated to the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.

These data were recorded in the field by burial excavators using Soil Systems, Inc.'s inhumation summary form. This form & coding sheets derived from it can be found in tDAR. Types of data collected included variables related grave form & dimensions, position & orientation of the human remains contained within, & the integrity of the feature & associated remains. Fifty-seven inhumations were excavated during this project. All remains & associated artifacts were repatriated to the Salt River...

Pueblo Grande demography/paleopathology data sets are by burial group (BG) under each project heading. If the burial group for a feature is unknown, the data are identified only at the project area or stripping area level. Data contained include age, sex, stature, and presence/absence of various indicators of stress and infectious disease listing elements affected. Stature estimates (when preservation allowed for measurements of femur and/or tibia length) were calculated using corrected...

This monograph by James Delgado and Stephen Haller is the first assessment level document in the submerged cultural resources series of publications produced by the National Park Service. It should prove to be a useful working model for land managing agencies on a Federal or State level that wish to generate straight forward statements on what is known about a particular resource base without intensive study and what options exist for exerting responsible stewardship over those resources. It is...

The Nance Site was a seasonally occupied field house site located in the interior of the Salt River floodplain. Current evidence indicates that the site was sporadically occupied in the late Pioneer through the middle Classic periods. Stratigraphic evidence suggests a human presence in the general vicinity of the site during the Early Agricultural/Early Ceramic Periods; a single thermal pit (Feature 19) was found 1.4 m below the surface. The economic activities of the Hohokam inhabitants...
