The Additive Technologies Group (ATG) was responsible for supporting the broad research goals of the DAP through the implementation of mid-level research design governing the collection and analysis of data from “material culture that results from the technological combinations of a variety of raw materials” (Blinman 1986a:57). While these items include worked vegetal material (e.g., basketry and textiles), much of the work performed by the ATG relates to a large ceramic assemblage including...

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...

The Additive Technologies Group of the Dolores Archaeological Program (D.A.P.) completed inventory analysis of ceramic materials recovered during the 1978 and 1979 D.A.P. field seasons, and during the 1974-1976 Dolores River Project survey. Analysis, which consisted of the microscopic and macroscopic examination of the ceramic materials, was followed by the input of the data into the computerized project data bank. The results of inventory analysis were used to define specific culture...

The exact nature and areal extent of this occupation is uncertain, but it definitely included at least one substantial surface structure and probably one pitstructure....
