The Use History of LZ 1209 and LZ 1204 in the El Morro Valley NM_MA Paper Draft (2005)
This paper examines the use history of roomblocks within a Post-Chacoan era (circa AD 1225 – 1275) community in the El Morro Valley, New Mexico. It estimates the resident population and calculates the occupation span of LZ 1209 and LZ 1204 in the Los Gigantes site cluster, a group of more than a dozen residential roomblocks dating to the late Pueblo III period. The roomblocks were subjected to an intensive stratified random sampling procedure modeled after the Sand Canyon Small Site Testing...

Using GIS to Describe and Understand Archaeological Site Distribution: Mapping Fort St. Joseph (2010)
Geography and geographic perspectives make important contributions to many other disciplines. This thesis project is designed to bring a geographic perspective to an ongoing archaeological investigation. The project is focused on Fort Saint Joseph, a French colonial mission, garrison and trading post built in 1691 and occupied for 90 years. The site has been excavated for six years and plans are in place for annual excavations until 2018. As the body of information about the site increases, a...
Uzbekistan Ceramics: Compositional and Descriptive Data (2014)
This dataset contains compositional (elemental abundance) and descriptive data for a total of 9 ceramic and clay specimens from Uzbekistan analyzed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). These data were generated by neutron activation analysis (NAA) at LBNL between the late 1960s and early 1990s. Data from the LBNL were transferred to the Archaeometry Laboratory at the University of Missouri, where they were digitized for distribution through tDAR. Elemental abundance data for one...

Vanishing River Volume 1: Part 1, Scorpion Point Village: Chapters 1 - 4 (1997)
The Scorpion Point site is located on a remnant of a Pleistocene terrace about 37 m above the Verde River. Researchers began the fieldwork expecting to find no more than a dozen pit houses representing a few small pre-Classic period farmsteads scattered along the terrace above the Verde River. Instead, they found the remains of a ball court village with at least 50, and perhaps as many as 300, pit houses. At the conclusion of fieldwork at Scorpion Point Village, archaeologists with the Lower...

Volume 1, Part 2 summarizes archaeological data recovery and results of work at four sites (CTC, Two Farms, Middendrum, and Dam View) located in area south of Bartlett Dam along the lower Verde River. Originally, the research plan outlined a testing program for a sample of seven sites in the area. Flooding and associated erosion along the Verde River during the field season made it almost impossible to support excavation crews at the small sites situated on narrow remnants of terraces on the...
