Developing Demographic Proxies for Archaic Faunal Database Integration (2016)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Scott Rivas.

In conjunction with multi-scalar integrative faunal research on the use of aquatic resources by Archaic period hunter-gatherers, the EAFWG has been required to focus on both environmental and demographic reconstructions for both specific locales and larger regions within the interior of the North American Eastern Woodlands. Although the importance of social and ethnic factors has increasingly been recognized, both environmental change and variability and human population growth and aggregation...


DeWeese Shell Midden Site (15Bt6) vertebrate faunal remains (1996)
DATASET George Crothers.

Test Unit B1 (1x1 m), excavated in 1994 by arbitrary 10 cm levels, except Level 1 (0-30 cm), which is the plowzone. Total depth 220 cm below surface datum. All matrix waterscreened through 1/4" (6.4 mm) mesh and 40% sample of each level screened through 1/16" (1.6 mm) mesh. Flotation column measuring 25 x 25 cm taken from the southwest corner of each level (except plowzone). Identifications in this dataset are only remains from 1/4" mesh of both the general waterscreen matrix and flotation...

Digitizing The Anasazi Origins Project: A Geodatabase (2013)
DOCUMENT Full-Text David M. Plaza.

Archaeology is faced with the inheritance problem of managing legacy collections, partly due to the high expense of maintaining them. Often these datasets are unorganized, thus rendering them underutilized, and difficult to properly preserve or to integrate into the current archaeological dialogue. Unfortunately, this problem is a common issue. To address this problem, an examination of the condition of the records and artifacts of legacy archaeological collections is needed. In this thesis,...
