Photographs (1985)
Photographs are one of the few remaining ways to examine the now inundated archaeological sites in the DAP. Photographic images add context to specific aspects of Anasazi life in the DAP area; in a sense, DAP photography "provides the investigator with ways to understand the spatial integration of households and communities" (Wilshusen et al. 1999:115). Only a fraction of all photographs taken during the project can be found in the published series of DAP reports. Individuals wishing to access...
Photolog for the Photos from the Relocation, Reassessment, and Remapping of 74 Archaeological Sites Located Along Reaches 3, 4, and 5 of the Tucson Aqueduct (Phase B) (2013)
The Phoenix Area Office (PXAO), Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), has developed an archaeological site database for the Central Arizona Project (CAP) main stem canal. The current data is based on data resulting from Class III surveys conducted in the 1970s and 1980s prior to the canal’s construction. To assist in checking the accuracy of its site database, Reclamation requested that Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) revisit 74 sites that had been identified in Reaches 3, 4,...

A Plan for the Management of Archaeological Sites in the Tempe Papago Park Area (1988)
Papago Park in the City of Tempe extends from Tempe Butte northward across the Salt River bed into the southern portion of the Papago hills. The archaeological sites in the park are relatively small, but they represent both the Indian and Anglo occupation of the Salt River Valley, and span more than one thousand years of history (A.D. 800 to late 1800s and early 1900s). Excavations at two of the sites have produced artifacts dating to a) the prehistoric Indian period, b) the early historic...

To complete the research...
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF ORGANIC RESIDUE FROM A SHERD AT THE CACHE SITE, 24HL49, MONTANA (2012)
The Cache site (24HL49) is a pottery cache located on the south side of the Milk River in the vicinity of the Fresno Dam, Fresno, Montana. Two vessels that date to the Late Prehistoric Period were recovered from the site, one nested inside the other. Vessel 1 is a nearly complete vessel, which is represented by 37 sherds and appears to have been crushed by the weight of the settling cap-rock. Black, carbonized organic matter was noted on the interior of the vessel. Vessel 2 is an incomplete,...
Prehistoric Agricultural Strategies in West-Central New Mexico (1987)
Environmental fluctuations are frequently cited as a major factor effecting population displacement and cultural development in the American Southwest. Recent research suggests that the interaction of environmental, demographic, and behavioral variables might account for these presumed causal relationships, but behavioral responses to environmental fluctuations remain poorly understood. The environmental factors most likely to have been stressful to agriculturalists such as the prehistoric...

A proposed 640 acre grounding electrode site was surveyed by archaeologists from the Museum of Northern Arizona in June, 1983. No archaeological sites were found in the survey parcel. However, a few isolated finds were found scattered throughout the parcel, with most of these adjacent to a dirt road paralleling Detrital Wash. Archaeological clearance is recommended for the SRP electrode site.
Proposed Mead to Phoenix 500kV DC Transmission Line Project: Appendix D: Eastwing Substation and Westwing Substation Expansion: Archaeological Surveys (1983)
Two proposed substation site alternatives along the Agua Fria River were surveyed for archaeological resources by the Museum of Northern Arizona in December 1982. One small previously recorded potsherd concentration and a number of isolated artifacts were located within the Westwing area. An extensive Hohokam site was located within the Eastwing parcel, along with a segment of the historic Marinette Heading Canal. The Westwing substation alternative is strongly recommended in preference to the...
Range 2: Cultural Resource Survey Between the Crater Range and the Sauceda Mountains, Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range, Southwestern Arizona (1996)
This study was designed to assess the cultural resources within Range 2, which is contained within the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range. Data collected during this project will be used to augment the Cultural Resources Management Plan (CRMP) for the Gila Bend (eastern) segment of the Goldwater Range, a document that was prepared by the BLM, and which is regarded as "in-progress" as well as a CRMP that will be prepared specifically for the Air Force.
Rare Rocks (1985)
Items in the DAP nonflaked lithic tool assemblage and miscellaneous material files that represent “unusual materials of geologic origin” have been collected within a single rare rocks dataset (Keane and Clay 1987:507). More specifically, the dataset contains both naturally occurring and culturally modified items comprised of geological resources that are found in the Dolores Valley, or have been transported over long distances (Keane and Clay 1987). Items fashioned from rare material types are...
