The purpose of this paper is to provide an account of intersite agave variability among Pueblo La Plata, Pueblo Pato,...

FIVE reports in one volume. 1. Dating Adamana Brown Ware Radiocarbon dating at five Basketmaker II period sites provide the first chronometric determinations for Adamana Brown ware, considered the earliest pottery on the Colorado Plateau. The radiocarbon dates indicate that production of the pottery began between A.D. 1 and A.D. 200 and possibly as early as 400 B.C. The pottery enjoyed long-lived use, possibly produced as late as A.D. 600. 2. Adamana Brown Ware Radiography Study Among...

Beginning in 2006 and as part of Arizona State University’s Legacies on the Landscape Project (Spielmann et al. 2005), I undertook preliminary research regarding a small corpus of long, linear clearings in the Perry Mesa region of Central Arizona. Coined “racetracks”, these had been recorded at the eight largest pueblos on Perry Mesa and neighboring Black Mesa. They had been noted by past archaeologists (e.g., Ahlstrom and Roberts 1995:37; Ahlstrom et al. 1992; North 2002; Wilcox et al. 2001;...

Kirtland Air Force Base is the location of abundant archaeological sites found in the Manzanita Mountains and lower slopes east of the Rio Grande. The goal in this study is the development of a geoarchaeologic model identifying the depositional units of Quaternary age at Kirtland Air Force Base that may preserve buried cultural deposits. The model utilizes the geologic mapping results from previous studies and identifies additional Quaternary units in areas where this information was missing....
