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...

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.

Four graduate students (Kruse, Lei, Horn, and Schollmeyer), two undergraduate students (Osgood and Wichlacz), Hegmon and Spielmann worked at Pueblo La Plata February 6 and 7. Hegmon directed the continuation of the bonding and abutting study while Spielmann directed the initiation of the midden excavations.

Final Report of the Spring 2007 Field Season - Legacies on the Landscape: Archaeological and Ecological Research at Agua Fria National Monument and Tonto National Forest

DOCUMENT Full-Text Alison Rautman.

This report presents the final description of the excavations at LA-199, Kite Pueblo. Excavations during the summer of 1994 by Michigan State University formed part of a larger research program that investigated possible changes in economic organization and intergroup exchange during the time period when small pithouse communities in the Salinas area were changing in architecture and possibly in economic organization. It has been suggested that some of the changes during this time may result in...

This report provides a substantive and administrative summary of the results of an intensive archaeological survey of about 9 square kilometers along the Zuni River in east-central Arizona that was conducted by the University of Arizona, Arizona State Museum. This survey was funded by a Survey and Planning Grant from the National Park Service administered by the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office and by matching funds provided by the University of Arizona. Because this final report for...

This report provides a substantive and administrative summary of the results of an intensive archaeological survey of about 8 square kilometers along the Zuni River in east-central Arizona about 25 miles north-northeast of St. Johns. The survey was directed by Keith W. Kintigh of the Department of Anthropology, Arizona State University. This survey has been funded with the assistance of a matching grant-in-aid from the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under provisions of the...

The Reductive Technologies Group (RTG) was responsible for supporting the broad research goals of the DAP through the implementation of a mid-level research design governing the collection and analysis of data from “artifacts which were manufactured by reductive, or subtractive techniques” (Phagan 1986a:79). Independent datasets for each of the four preliminary analysis systems reflect the technological distinctions made between flaked lithic tools (FLT10a and FLT10b); the debitage created in...

The RTG was headed by Roger A. Moore between 1978 and 1979; Carl J. Phagan assumed this position from 1979 to 1985, with the assistance of T. Homer Hruby between 1980 and 1984. Supporting...

Floral, Faunal, Soil, and Artifact Data from Transects at Pueblo la Plata

PROJECT Uploaded by: Rachel Burger

Food security, the measure of access to safe and sufficient food, is a critical global issue, not just because of its effects on health, but also because of the potentially negative consequences that food insecurity can have on mental and social well-being. Archaeology is uniquely situated to inform and articulate with global food security studies by focusing on past lived experiences of social and environmental conditions and events. The experiences of and responses to those conditions, in...

This faunal dataset derives from excavations conducted by Michigan State University in 2007 and 2008 at Frank's Ruin Pueblo (LA 9032). Kite Pueblo is the square adobe pueblo occupied between circa A.D. 1200 to 1350. The assemblage derives from midden, room, and extramural contexts. Note that bird faunal IDs above general categories are unreliable due to lack of comparative collection. Large birds not identified as turkey should be considered "large bird not turkey" not particular raptor or other...

The sediments dataset is a catalog of the geological samples used in a study of the physical and chemical properties of local soils. The chemical and granulometric analyses conducted on these samples contributed to an evaluation of potential for successful dry-land agriculture in the Dolores Valley. Soils in the project area are generally derived from eolian parent material and exhibit a loamy texture that indicates their suitability for agricultural production (Decker and Petersen 1987)....

This report presents the results of a geophysical study of five sites on KAFB. The objectives for the geophysical study were two fold: (1) to explore the effectiveness of near surface geophysical techniques for verifying the presence and nature of architectural and other cultural features and (2) to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each of the four remote sensing techniques being employed--resistivity, gradiometer, magnetometer, and ground penetrating radar (GPR)--by assessing their...

The focus of this volume is the lower Colorado River valley, one of the least understood regions of the American Southwest. After over 50 years of archaeological research, the lower Colorado River remains a mystery. No major prehistoric habitation site has been located, presumably because they have all been destroyed by the river. Consequently, even the rudiments of culture history remain to be worked out. When did people arrive in the area? What did they live on? How did culture evolve in this...

This dataset is for the limestone lithics excavated in the 1985 field season at Gran Quivira. The sample was large in size and we felt we had learned enough about limestone lithics that the 1986 lithics were not analyzed and we likely were not as careful collecting them as in 1985.
