Pueblo IV (Temporal Keyword)
51-75 (294 Records)
Temper analysis of plain ware ceramics from Pueblo La Plata indicates that none of the pottery contains local sand. La Plata is located atop Perry Mesa in central Arizona, where basalt dominates the geology. Petrographic thin-section analysis confirmed the observation that basalt was not present, thereby implying that the tempering materials used to make the pottery were not locally obtained. Unless local potters went far afield to procure their temper, the pueblo residents probably obtained...

Corner Construction and Possible Construction Sequence for Room Blocks in Richinbar Ruin on Black Mesa at Agua Fria National Monument (2007)
Prior research as a part of the Legacies on the Landscape project has addressed architectural issues at Richinbar Ruin. In the spring of 2005, Karen Schollmeyer wrote a paper, Architecture Studies at Richinbar Ruin, which outlined the rationale for and the results of study into how Richinbar was built. Since that time, changes due to both wild fires and seasonal variation potentially made possible the acquisition of improved data in the same area. The purpose of this study was to obtain that...
CPP Integrated Faunal Data (2019)
This is the integrated dataset created by the data integration https://core.tdar.org/workspace/integrate/959. It includes the combined results of the faunal analysis of all Cibola Prehistory Project projects: CARP, EMVPP, HARP, OBAP, RCAP, and ULCPP. SOme aggregation is done for burning and completeness but not for element or taxon. SOme variables were not included. The integration cited above can be copied and modified to get different aggregations or add additional variables. It includes...

Dietary Change at Lower Pescado Village (NM12-I109) (1997)
Identification of all faunal osteological material from Lower Pescado Village on the Zuni Indian Reservation, including bone tools and a few specimens of human bone, was conducted using the vertebrate comparative collections at the Thomas Burke Memorial Washington Stale Museum at the University of Washington, and the Puget Sound Museum of Natural History at the University of Puget Sound, in concert with published criteria for distinguishing between closely related taxa (see Descriptive Summary...
Documents and Data from Hegmon et al. Marking and Making Difference: Representational Diversity in the US Southwest
Data sets included in this project were created for the article "Marking and Making Difference: Representational Diversity in the US Southwest.". Published in American Antiquity 81(2), 2016, pp. 253-272. By Michelle Hegmon, Jacob Freeman, Keith W. Kintigh, Margaret C. Nelson, Sarah Oas, Matthew A. Peeples, and Andrea Torvinen The paper is based on data from the Cibola region of the US Southwest, and each (.xlsx) file includes the data for a given time period (Pueblo III, Early Pueblo IV, Late...

Ecology Needs Archaeologists: Archaeology Needs Ecologists (2006)
Over the past five decades, ecologists and archaeologists have dismantled two longstanding theoretical constructs. Ecologists have rejected the “balance of nature” concept and archaeologists have dispelled the myth that indigenous people were “in harmony with nature”. Rejection of these concepts poses critical challenges to both fields as current disciplinary approaches are inadequate to grapple effectively with real-world complexities of socioecological systems. In this review, we focus on the...
EMVPP Field & Lab Manual (2003)
The field and lab manual for the 2003 El Morro Prehistory Project. The same manual was used in other EMVPP seasons. Most aspects of this manual can be applied to the Ojo Bonito Archaeological Project, the Heshotauthla Archaeological Research Project, the Upper Little Colorado Prehistory Project, and the Rudd Creek Archaeology Project. This manual describes field and laboratory procedures, how to fill out the forms, and how the provenience system works. It also has relevant ceramic type...

Eolian Deposition and Soil Fertility in a Prehistoric Agricultural Complex in Central Arizona (2012)
Prehistoric farmers in the semi-arid American Southwest were challenged by marked spatial and temporal variation in, and overall low levels of, precipitation with which to grow their crops. One strategy they employed was to modify their landscape with rock alignments in order to concentrate surface water flow on their fields. A second challenge that has been less focused on by archaeologists is the need to maintain soil fertility by replenishing nutrients removed from the soil by agricultural...

Fiber Production of Three Varieties of Agave Found on Perry Mesa (2007)
Agave has been exploited throughout time and space for its sap, edible flesh, and fibers. Cultivation of this productive, multi-purpose plant took place within what is now Agua Fria National Monument at the pueblos of La Plata and Pato on Perry Mesa and Richinbar on Black Mesa. At these sites, the heart of the plant was removed for roasting and, subsequently, consumption. This is an experimental archaeology project that examines another aspect of agave exploitation: the fiber processing...
Field Report for Excavation Unit 1E (2004)
Excavation Unit 1E is one of six surface collection units around Pueblo LaPlata. The surface collection locations were determined by visually scanning the surface and selecting areas of high artifact concentration. Unit 1E is on the east side of the pueblo, approximately 7 meters from the extent of wall fall. The unit is slightly down slope in an area of high artifact concentration.
