Structure 4 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) was first noticed as a preserved earthen floor in the woods in the western, unplowed portion of the townsite. A test excavation in 1991-1992 encountered a modern logging road disturbance immediately east of the structure floor. Excavation of the building site has continued in 2013. The structure was built in the poteaux-en-terre style. There is evidence of an interior brick hearth.
Old Mobile (1MB94) Structure 05, Mobile County, Alabama.
Structure 5 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) was first noticed as an eroded earthen floor in the unplowed western portion of the site, immediately south of Structure 1. Completely excavated in 1991, the long axis of the structure was oriented northeast-southwest, aligned with the town's street grid, as indicated on the two historic maps of Old Mobile.

Old Mobile (1MB94) Structure 14, Mobile County, Alabama.
Structure 14 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) was first noticed as an earthen floor partially preserved in the unplowed center of the townsite, in an area that is intermittently flooded by heavy rains.

Omussee Creek Park (1HE4) 1977
The Veterans Curation Program utilizes the standard archival practice of unique naming of collections. The purpose of this practice is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as "Omussee Creek Park (1HE4) 1977.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is two-tenths (0.2) of a linear inch. On the exterior of the...

On Swiddening and Pigs: The Management of Micronesian Agroforests (2016)
Agroforestry, or the growing of tree crops, is a long-standing and key food production practice throughout much of the world. As with all systems of food production, the way that humans manage agroforests has a profound impact on their composition as well as their sustainability. For over 2,000 years, eastern Micronesians have relied largely on tree crop production, vegeculture, and fishing for subsistence. In this study, we focus on late prehistoric manipulation of floral environments on the...
On the Banks of Big Wash: Archaeological Investigations at AZ BB:9:171 (ASM), Oro Valley, Arizona (2004)
A combined testing and data recovery program was undertaken by SWCA, Inc. between August 25 and September 22, 2000 at AZ BB:9:171 (ASM). Fourteen backhoe trenches totaling approximately 275 linear meters were cut during testing. Seventeen cultural features and six possible features were subsequently identified. Data recovery involved testing of all seven pithouses that were identified. This was followed by intensive excavation of four of the pithouses as well as four extramural features. The...

Orange Grove
Multi-component project containing both historic and pre-historic elements. It is located in Pala San Diego. This project is for JPOWER and will consist of a new Power Station that will be placed directly onto the footprint of a historic orange grove. The other impacts will include water, natural gas, and energy lines that will be dug and laid between 10 and fifteen miles coming to the power plant. The power station location is approx. 4 miles from the Pala mission and the eastern boarder...
