Pueblo Blanco faunal data (2000)
DATASET
Excavations at Pueblo Blanco by Arizona State University resulted in the recovery of a large faunal assemblage containing a total of 64,733 specimens (Table 2).

In this analysis, mammalian, avian, and reptilian fauna are classified as “identifiable” if the specimen can be classified to an order. Given the highly fragmented nature of fish bone, these remains are only identified to the class level.

ONTOLOGY
This chronological ontology distills information from Spielmann's individual site reports for Gran Quirivia, Quarai, Pueblo Colorado, and Pueblo Blanco. Chronological data in those reports include radiocarbon dates, limited numbers of tree ring dates, stratigraphy and especially glaze rim sequences due to the large standard deviations associated with radio carbon dates from these sites (and these centuries in general). In those reports periods were designated by labels rather than date ranges....

Gran Quivira Lithic material type coding sheet (1985)
CODING SHEET
This coding key is for the material type variable in the Gran Quivira lithics database. It is based on color and then on type, chert, chalcedony (translucent), obsidian, and quartzite. For at least some of the 1986 lithics, broader categories of obsidian, white chalcedony, quartzite, and miscellaneous materials were used. These were given codes 91-94 in this coding sheet. Other analyses also used broader material type categories. I have thus uploaded another coding sheet,...
