The Historical Archaeology of Dam Construction Camps in Central Arizona, Volume 3: Laboratory Methods and Data Computerization

Author(s): Deborah A. Hull-Walski; James E. Ayres

Year: 1989

Summary

In June 1986 the Bureau of Reclamation awarded Dames & Moore a contract for historical archaeological studies as part of the mitigation program for the Regulatory Storage Division (Plan 6) of the Central Arizona Project. This study focused on reconstructing the social history of the workers and their families who lived in several temporary dam construction camps dating from the 1890s to the 1940s. This is the third (of three) volumes of the final technical report. This volume summarizes the general characteristics of the artifact assemblage and describes laboratory processing and analytical procedures. It also describes the strategy developed for building a computerized database. The codebook for computerizing the artifactual information is presented along with directories of the various types of maker's marks, glass finishes, methods of opening cans, and animal skeletal parts encountered in the collection.
