Archaic (Temporal Keyword)
476-500 (572 Records)
Fill from two features at Site 41BS611 in Big Bend National Park, Texas, were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. Two ground stone samples also were washed to recover pollen/starches, while 20 flaked stone artifacts were analyzed for possible protein residues. This site is noted to be a large, open campsite containing stone-paved hearths and a lithic scatter. Diagnostic artifacts suggest Middle Archaic, Late Archaic, and Late Prehistoric occupations, while radiocarbon dates from three...
POLLEN, STARCH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM HEARTH FEATURES AT SITES 5MF6806, 5MF6871, AND 5MF6872, MOFFAT COUNTY, COLORADO (2010)

Preliminary Cultural Resource Assessment Survey of the Avon Park Air Force Range, Polk and Highlands Counties, Florida (1986)
A preliminary cultural resource assessment survey was conducted of the 106,210 acre Avon Park Air Force Range (APAFR) in Polk and Highlands Counties, Florida. The purpose of the survey was to provide base level data on the types, distribution, and potential significance of archaeological and historic period sites located on the APAFR. An extensive literature search and a systematic field survey were conducted by Piper Archaeological Research, Inc. A total of 37 archaeological sites were located...

Projectile Points, Potsherds, Horseshoes, and Hand Grenades Evidence of the Human Legacy on Holloman Air Force Base from a Cultural Resource Sample Survey, Otero County, New Mexico (1999)
The purpose of the project, initially, was to determine site densities by environmental zone for management purposes. By the time the first draft of the report was completed, all base lands had been inventoried. This forced a reorientation of the projects goals to a more settlement pattern based analysis. Such an analysis includes not only sites recorded during the sample survey, but also all recorded sites on HAFB. The intensive cultural resources survey conducted by HSR documented 83...

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...

Relocation, Reassessment, and Remapping of 74 Archaeological Sites Located Along Reaches 3, 4, and 5 of the Tucson Aqueduct (Phase B)
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. The majority of these sites have not been revisited since they were first recorded. An unknown number of these sites were destroyed by either construction or excavation, while others are no...
