Loring-Greenough House North Yard Archaeogeophysics (2010)
An archaeogeophysical survey was carried out in May 2010 using a Geonics EM-38 RT and a Mala Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system with a 500 MHz antenna over a 28x26 m grid immediately northeast of the Loring-Greenough house in Jamaica Plain, MA. Three major anomalies were identified. These anomalies have not been ground truthed, but they appear to be archaeological features. First, we suggest that there is a builders trench just north of the house. Second, we suggest that there could be...
The Middle Gila Basin: An Archaeological and Historical Overview (1982)
The Central Arizona Project (CAP) , Indian Distribution Division (IDD) is designed to deliver allocated CAP water to Indian users.

It summarizes and evaluates the extant data in an area 3,570 square miles (9,139 sq km) large, centered on the Gila River. The data suggests that archaeological sites in this area are numerous and varied, but most of all poorly-studied despite 100 years of research. A...

Recommendations included investigation of the mansion’s extensive cellar in an effort to document Gore-period features, better understand the functioning of...
Site Form for 3PU0431 (1995)
Site form for 3PU0431. Site 3PU0431 consists of several structural remnants and is thought to date late in the historic period. No function could be determined for the site, which appears to have suffered from extensive disturbance, with only an estimated 10% remaining intact. Therefore, it is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP.
Site Form for 3PU0433 (1995)
Site form for 3PU0433. Site 3PU0433 appears to be a site dating to late in the Historic period, late 19th/20th centuries. The site area appears to have been clear cut in the past. Any standing structures were razed, with only a few rubble piles of sandstone remaining. In view of the extensive bulldozing identified at the site, it is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further work is required.
Site Form for 3PU0434 (1995)
Site form for 3PU0434. Site 3PU0434 is an extensive and elaborate historic site, probably a residence, with a total of seven features: 1) sandstone-lined cistern; 2) Concrete slab; 3) Sandstone and mortar foundation; 4) Partial sandstone and mortar wall; 5) Two large depressions; 6) Dry-laid stone wall; 7) Two Dry-laid stone walls. Due to the extensive bulldozing observed at the site, it is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP. No further work is required.
Site Form for 3PU0436 (1995)
Site form for 3PU0436. Site 3PU0436 is a historic residence or farmstead. Although the site has been severely impacted by bulldozing, two features remained to be identified. Feature 1 is a cistern, built of dressed, stacked-sandstone. Feature 2 appears to be a sandstone foundation. Unfortunately, the site only has an estimated 5-8% contextual integrity remaining, making it ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP. No further work is required.
Site Form for 3PU0444 (1995)
Site Form for 3PU0444. Site 3PU0444 appears to be a 1940s to 1950s farmstead, probably associated with either the 1945 Ordnance Plant or the town of Taneyville. It consists of six features as well as an intact set of cement steps and a moderately dense subsurface artifact scatter. Unfortunately, the late occupation of the site and the disturbance noted are considered to make it ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further work is required.
Site Form for 3PU0447 (1995)
Site form for 3PU0447. Site 3PU0447 is a historic site dating from the 1940s to 1950s. The site area appears to have been clear cut, which may have promoted erosion and thus explaining the lack of soils at the site. The site consists of a rock-lined pathway, a badly collapsed depression, and a surface scatter of artifacts. Overall site integrity is estimated to be 2 to 5 percent. In view of the lack of contextual integrity and the late period of the site, it is considered to be ineligible for...
