This report summarizes the results of the Division Air Defense (DIVAD) archaeological project. The project was initiated in response to a proposal to construct and use airstrip facilities on McGregor Guided Missile Range on Fort Bliss, a military installation in far western Texas and southern New Mexico. The project was designed to mitigate the adverse effect of the airstrip's construction upon prehistoric cultural remains. It was conducted by the Fort Bliss Environmental Management Office from...
Dogoszhi-Style Ceramics as Markers of Elite Status within the Chacoan Regional System (2017)
Dogoszhi-style ceramics are prevalent throughout the Ancestral Puebloan world during the 11th-13th centuries, and have been suggested as a marker of elite status within the Chacoan World. The replication of the style across different wares and media, occurrence on special forms, and in some cases highly skilled painting, suggests a shared social significance at the regional scale. We investigate this proposition by examining the distribution of the style across the Chacoan World using the...
The Dolores Archaeological Program
From 1978 until 1985 the University of Colorado contracted with the Bureau of Reclamation (Contract No. 8-07-40-S0562) to mitigate the adverse impact of a large water impoundment project on the cultural resources in the project area. This complex and evolving long-term mitigation plan known as the Dolores Archaeological Program (DAP) has been called a “truly unique chapter in American archaeology” (Breternitz 1993:118) and was applauded by Lipe (1998:2) for its ability to “increase the power and...
Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-017: 1978 Additive Analysis Report (1981)
Analysis of Dolores Cultural Resources Mitigation Program ceramic collections from excavations of prehistoric sites was undertaken beginning in October 1978. An inventory analysis was designed to: (1) approach specific questions of the Research Design; (2) provide an inventory of those materials in relation to taxonomic and provenience systems; and (3) establish a data base for the selection of materials for intensive analyses. A coding system was developed to place the data into a machine...
Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-083: Excavations at LeMoc Shelter (Site 5MT2151), a multiple-occupation Anasazi site (1983)
LeMoc Shelter (Site 5MT2151) is a small, stratified site on the south-facing slope of the Dolores River canyon. During excavation of the shelter by the Dolores Archaeological Program, the remains of five successive Anasazi occupations that date to between A.D. 750 and 950 were discovered. During the earliest documented occupation, which dates to the late Sagehill Subphase (A.D. 750-780), the shelter appears to have been occupied year-round by a nuclear family or small extended family. The next...
Down in the Dumps: An Introduction to Feature 7 at the Pierce Hichborn House (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Pierce Hichborn House (PHH), a historical home in the North End of Boston, has experienced transformations throughout its long history of occupation. Initially, the property was a single family home, before transitioning to a tenement building in the 19th century. Feature 7 of the PHH site, with a presumed date range of late 17th to early 20th century, manifests a blend of...
Dragons through a Ceramic Lens: Evidence for a North-Central Belize Ceramic (Sub)-Sphere (2015)
As viewed through a ceramic lens, it is becoming evident that North-Central Belize was distinct from surrounding areas. Starting in the Middle Preclassic, the ceramics of the Swasey/Bladen Sphere of North-Central Belize are notably different than those of adjacent areas of the Belize Valley, Peten, and Yucatan. The extent of the Middle Preclassic Swasey/Bladen Sphere is becoming clearer with work at Ka’Kabish and the surrounding area. Similarly, the Terminal Classic/Early Postclassic ceramics...

Early Pottery at Petrified Forest National Park (2017)
Petrified Forest National Park is notable for the diversity of its ceramic assemblages which encompass several major ware groups. The earliest ceramics sequence saw one of the most dramatic shift in pottery production techniques at any time in the park, from the paddle and anvil, micaceous tempered Adamana Brown Ware, to the coil and scrape, sherds and sand tempered white wares and grey wares that dominate the rest of the park’s ceramics assemblages. This poster presents a characterization study...
