Articulations Between Federal Regional Archeological Programs and State Archeological Planning (1981)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Francis McManamon.

Federal agencies with regional archeological programs can benefit from state historic preservation office archeological planning. Regional archeological programs also can contribute to state-level planning. Devising commonly acceptable site assessment methods; testing and determiniation of effective site discovery and evaluation methods and techniques; and, collaboration on site significance criteria and values are three ways in which regional and state level programs can benefit mutually...


Artifact and Rock Distributions at Pueblo la Plata (2004)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Lisa Baldwin. Caitlin Wichlacz.

Artifact and rock distributions were noticeably different across the landscape surrounding Pueblo La Plata. By sampling artifact and rock densities along three transects, we attempted to determine what the independent distribution patterns were for artifacts and for rocks. By combining our results, we hoped to see whether or not there was a correlation between artifact and rock densities across the site. We expected to see a drop in artifact densities farther from the pueblo, where less human...

Assessing Contemporary Human Activity at Sites in the Anasazi Archeological District, San Juan National Forest: A Quantitative Approach (2004)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Ralph J. Hartley. Anne Wolley Vawser.

The purpose of this study is to: (I) assess whether associations exist between a set of characteristics of a prehistoric site observable on the ground surface and evidence of modern human activities at that place; (II) ascertain how evidence of subsurface “looting” varies with characteristics of the site that reflect varied prehistoric activity; and (III) assess the vulnerability of sites to contemporary human activities during exposure after periods of inundation.


Assessing Cultural Resources on U.S. Military Installations through the Application of Criterion B (Legacy 10-347)
PROJECT Jayne Aaron.

This project created guidance on the use of Criterion B eligibility under the NRHP including methods for identification of properties that may be listed under Criterion B, and guidelines to assess a property's significance under Criterion B through a written history. A case study from Marine Corps Base Quantico, management recommendations, and five principles to guide mitigation measures for adverse effects to properties eligible under Criterion B are included.

Assessing the Quality of In-field Archaeological Artifact Analyses (Legacy 11-157)
PROJECT Michael Heilen.

This project reviews the validity of the assumptions made when, for the sake of conserving funding and curation space, in-field artifact analysis is used over lab analysis of artifacts in western states. Because test results showed that in-field and digital photo analyses of artifacts are of low accuracy and often inadequate for site interpretation, a set of recommendations is made for deciding how and in what situations field analysis is best applied.
