Heshotauthla Archaeological Research Project (HARP)
PROJECT Keith Kintigh. Arizona State University (ASU).

The Heshotauthla Archaeological Research Project (HARP) did limited excavation at the Pueblo IV site of Heshotauthla and intensive systematic survey in the area of the site on the Zuni Indian Reservation. Excavation was limited to areas threatened by erosion and areas thought t have been previously excavated by the Hemenway Southwestern Archaeological Expedition in the late 1880s. HARP survey recorded 305 prehistoric and historic sites in 10.4 square kilometers, including a post-Chaocan great...

High Resolution Documentation of Rock Art Panel 11 on Petroglyph Trail (2011)
SENSORY DATA Angie Payne. Katie Simon.

A portion of Rock Art Panel 11 located along Petroglyph Trail was documented with the Breuckmann SmartScan HE. While there are numerous examples of rock art on the cliff wall that lines Petroglyph trail, this panel was chosen for documentation primarily because of ease of access to the panel and because of the quality and variety of figures and motifs present in the rock art. The panel is somewhat divided by a natural vertical ledge that passes through the middle of the motifs. Documentation...


Hinkson Site Palynology (1990)
DOCUMENT Citation Only James Schoenwetter.

Use of sediment samples collected from the Hinkson Site for a classroom research project late in 1989 provided opportunity to extract and examine the pollen they contained. Since the effort was undertaken by students with no prior experience of pollen study, the raw data is to some degree suspect. However, the student work was supervised by experienced personnel, and students were encouraged to rely on supervisory help whenever a problematic issue arose. The samples should be re-observed before...

Howell_Hawikku_Paper and Metadata_In With the Old: Examining Issues in Using Older Mortuary Data (2011)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Todd Howell.

The use of mortuary data collected early this century poses a number of problems and opportunities. In this paper I address some of these issues with respect to mortuary databases from the ancestral Zuni villages of Hawikku and Kechipawan. These data were collected in the 1910s and 1920s; the excavations had goals that were somewhat different than current goals. This paper explores the basic qualities of these databases and the challenges of making the data comparable to other...

Investigations at Ojo Bonito: The 1988 Arizona State University Summer Field School (1988)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Todd Howell.

The 1988 Arizona State University Archaeological Field School under the direction of Dr. Keith Kintiqh was held at the privately-owned Hinkson ranch just southwest of the Zuni Indian Reservation. The Hinkson ranch holds qreat research potential because of a dense prehistoric occupation (primarily Pueblo II & III) that has been relatively undisturbed by pothuntinq or other destructive processes. If the great house and great kiva of the Hinkson Complex were built and occupied after the collapse...


Investigations at the Pueblo Alto Complex, Chaco Canyon, New Mexico 1975-1979: Volume I Summary of Tests and Excavations at the Pueblo Alto Community (1987)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Thomas C. Windes.

Pueblo Alto is one of 13 or 14 greathouses in Chaco Canyon in which the Bonito phase had been widely identified. Altos classification as Chacoan greathouse includes the complex of traits that Powers et al. (1983:15-16) have used to classify “Chacoan structures.” These traits include large site, size large rooms with high ceilings, massive stone, core and veneer walls, and construction of large-scale units indicative of complex planning efforts. In this report, the Bonito phase is not restricted...


Investigations at the Pueblo Alto Complex, Chaco Canyon, New Mexico 1975-1979: Volume II Part 1 Architecture and Stratigraphy (1987)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Thomas C. Windes. H. Wolcott Toll.

This volume is devoted primarily to the description of the field work conducted at Pueblo Alto (Figure 1.1). Over 4,700 pages of field notes and 5,500 photographs cover the excavation of 13 rooms and 2 kivas at Pueblo Alto along with the description of all tests. These investigations have been reorganized and distilled here. To the interested reader some idea of the magnitude of the notes for Pueblo Alto is suggested by comparison with Judd’s work at Pueblo Bonito that netted two shoe boxes full...

Analyses of the material culture and ethnobotanical materials recovered from the excavations at Pueblo Alto are presented here, with the exception of the coprolite, pollen, and human parasite results, which were published previously (Clary 1984; Cully 1985; Reinhard and Clary 1986; respectively). These analyses covered span of many years and were interspersed with reports and field work involving other sites of the Chaco Project. For the most part, analyses of the Pueblo Alto materials were...

In 1969 the Salt River Project contracted the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) to excavate the prehistoric and ethnohistoric remains in the vicinity of the Navajo Generating Station (Page, Arizona), along the Black Mesa-Lake Powell railroad corridor, and in the immediate vicinity of the coal loading facility at the east end of the rail line south of Navajo National Monument. One hundred and twenty-three sites were identified, with 51 of those prehistoric sites excavated or tested. (The...
