Archaeological Research at Proposed Cooper Lake, Northeast Texas 1974-1975 (1977)
Testing at four and excavation of two prehistoric sites has revealed new information about the aboriginal settlement of the South Sulphur River Basin. Sites located in and immediately adjacent to the river floowplain have been shown to be functionally similar. Extensive excavation of the Arnold Site and the Ranger Site has revealed that larger artifact samples bear out the same functional attributes as shown through the limited testing of sites within the lake area. The collection of a large...

Studies Along the Lower Agua Fria River: The Eastwing Site and the Marinette Canal (1987)
Two sites, one prehistoric and one historic, situated northwest of Phoenix and in the south-central part of Arizona, are discussed. Limited field excavation and archival research reveal that the historic site, the Marinette Canal (NA18,267), built in 1910, may have been fed by well water, local runoff, and the seasonal flow of the Agua Fria River. It heads along Calderwood Butte and extends almost 10 km southward toward the present community of Sun City, Arizona. The prehistoric site, the...
