The Dolores Project was a large water project constructed by the Bureau of Reclamation in extreme southwestern Colorado. The Dolores Archaeological Program was responsible for the Dolores Project Cultural Resources Mitigation Program under Bureau of Reclamation Contract No. 8-07-40-S0562. At the request of the Bureau of Reclamation, the Dolores Archaeological Program produced this report entitled Dolores Archaeological Program Synthetic Report 1978-1981. This report provides the Bureau of...

A user's guide to the Dolores Archaeological Program data, compiled with assistance from a State Historical Fund grant from the Colorado Historical Society. This is highly recommended as a point of entry into the large and complex DAP datasets. It contains a general introduction to the DAP and its datasets, by Richard Wilshusen; an introduction to the provenience data and DAP temporal-spatial taxonomy and interpretations, by Christine Ward; brief descriptions of each of the major databases; an...

This paper briefly explores the archaeological signatures of Early through Late Holocene resource use and hunter-gatherer settlement patterns near Emerson Lake aboard the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center. Investigations of 156 localities along a linear belt of probable plant biomass modelled through Normalized Difference Vegetation Index assessments registered larger, richer, and more diverse assemblages, containing significantly higher frequencies of resource-processing artifacts, such as...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Post-medieval Archaeology and Pollution", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Glass production is and was an industry that exhausts natural resources. The destruction of forests surrounding early post-medieval glassworks in Europe was a given - the glassworks would often simply move to the next spot after depleting their resource of fuel and potash. The extraction of sand also had an environmental impact. The...

The visual and chemical similarity between some chert types and individual outcrops within the same geologic formation often hinders accurate provenance determination. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) reflectance micro-spectroscopy is a non-destructive method demonstrating potential application in chert sourcing. Prior to analysis of archaeological assemblages the accuracy of the technique and analytical methodology must be tested. The current study examines a sample database of two visually...

An evaluation of the ability of low-cost commercial satellite multispectral imagery to identify ephemeral archaeological surface sites was undertaken on the Nevada Test and Training Range in Nevada. Archaeological data from field inventories were used as a control sample. Using the QuickBird II sensor, significant differences were identified in mean reflectance in the blue, green, and near-infrared bands between on-site pixels and adjacent off-site pixels on a single site with the densest...

This poster presents an experimental research project performed for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s Permian Basin Mitigation Program exploring the use of aerial lidar data to identify and document ring midden features. The project was carried out in three study areas in southeastern New Mexico situated along the eastern foothills of the Guadalupe and Sacramento Mountains. Previous archaeological surveys indicate that ring middens are common along rocky escarpments in the piedmont zone and...

This brochure explains to the public the cultural significance of ring-midden features, the prospect of using remote sensing data to locate them, and an outline of SRI's modeling study to show how digital survey data can assist archaeologists in defining the features and understanding patterns of the past.

The Penn Museum's first archaeological expedition to Iran took place in 1931, when Erich F. Schmidt excavated the Bronze Age site of Tepe Hissar near the town of Damghan and the monumental buildings of the pre-Islamic Sasanian Palace. In this part of his adventurous and courageous life, Schmidt, then a young German WWI veteran who had received his Ph.D. degree under Franz Boas at Columbia University, documented the project with nearly 2,600 culturally significant photos—many under far from...

This cd-rom includes additional images to those printed in the book—from the Archives of the University Museum, to reveal a more expansive panorama of the people and places Schmidt and his teams visited, and images (Figures 81-88) kindly shared by Erika Schmidt, Erich Schmidt’s daughter, to provide a glimpse of Schmidt in his family surroundings during his post-field era. The captions give general information about the photographs, taken directly from the card files in the Museum’s Archives,...
