OHara_Sinagua_Paper_Creating Local and Regional Contexts for Understanding Sinagua Mortuary Practices (2011)
The mortuary record of the Flagstaff region is best known for the burial of the Magician, who was accompanied by several discrete sets of ritual paraphernalia representing different ritual and political roles. The present project will compile a mortuary database for the Flagstaff region in conjunction with the creation of other regional databases using standardized variable states. These efforts will allow a greater contextual understanding of the Magician within his local...

Ojo Bonito Archaeological Project (OBAP)
A survey and excavation project directed by Keith Kintigh and executed from 1983 through 1994. Approximate 58km2 were surveyed and 560 sites were recorded. Substantial excavations were undertaken at the Hinkson Site great house complex and Jaralosa Pueblo. Test excavations were completed at H-Spear, a Chacoan Great House located by the project and Ojo Bonito Pueblo. The project took place on the ranch of Mrs. Everett (Mabel) Hinkson (deceased). Most of the project work was done as a part of...
Ojo Bonito Archaeological Project: 1988 Report of Investigations of Prehistoric Gridded Fields (1988)
The 1988 OBAP agricultural survey project has produced a greater understanding of the extensive network of gridded fields in the lower Zuni drainage. Structural studies have shown that walls are generally constructed of large basalt cobbles and placed in loose, single course linear alignments. Walls do not intrude deeply into present soils, and seem to have had little input into the creation of field soils. Environmental data indicate that conditions along the mesa slopes may be more...
Old Collections, New Questions: Information on Plains-Pueblo Interaction and Variations in Style from Pecos Pueblo Pipes (2016)
2016 Southwest Symposium Poster. This poster presentation centers on what can be learned about Plains-Pueblo interaction and changes in community life through time from the examination of variations in style of a particular artifact class, the smoking pipe. This presentation specifically will outline the preliminary results of analysis of the pipes from the A.V. Kidder and National Park Service collections housed at Pecos Pueblo in New Mexico. 855 pipe fragments were analyzed, noting form,...
Orme Alternatives: the Archaeological Resources of Roosevelt Lake and Horseshoe Reservoir, Volumes I & II (1976)
The Orme Alternatives Project, which is part of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Central Arizona Project, was implemented in order to examine possible alternatives to the proposed Orme Dam and Reservoir. As reported by Canouts (1975), the proposed Orme Reservoir Project would have an extremely adverse impact upon the cultural resources of central Arizona. Therefore, the Bureau of Reclamation contracted the Arizona State Museum to evaluate the impact of two partial alternatives. One alternative...

The Oshara Tradition: Origins of Anasazi Cutlure (1973)
Some of the most intriguing problems in the p re his to r-y of the New World concern the origins and development of the sophisticated sedentary town-dwelling Indians of the Southwestern United States, particularly the Pueblos. Seventy five 'years of extensive research have yielded a considerable amount of infor- matron on the immediate background of these native Pueblo peo- pl es , whose prehistoric representatives archaeologists group under the term Anasazi Culture. However, almost all of this...
An Outline of the Environmental Chronology of the Little Colorado Drainage Basin, Arizona (1961)
Paper presented at the annual meetings of the Society for American Archeology, 1961. Discusses pollen sequence changes and environmental shifts evidenced by samples from ten sites and modern surface controls. Pollen record suggests irrigation in the Little Colorado River Basin 1275-1300 A.D.
An Overview and Assessment of Middle Verde Valley Archeology (2008)
It has been 30 years since Paul and Suzanne Fish (1977) prepared the first archeological overview and assessment of the Verde Valley. During that time, as the saying goes, “everything has changed, and nothing has changed.” One very significant change is that, as a result of federal legislation requiring archeological survey and evaluation of archeological resources prior to federally financed or sanctioned land modification activities, hundreds of compliance driven archeological surveys and a...
P.C. in the PIII: Ceremonial Racing as an Integrative Stategy in the PIII-PIV Communities of Central Arizona (2008)
Throughout the Southwestern United States and Mesoamerica, prehistoric people used running and racing as a means of religious expression, personal sacrifice and community cohesion. In such context, the physical location of racing was often unimportant and constructed facilities were relatively rare. In the Perry Mesa region of Central Arizona, however, manufactured “racetracks” were highly formalized and represent the only form of communal architecture in this area. We studied these features...
PALEOCLIMATE AND PLANT UTILIZATION AS REFLECTED IN THE POLLEN ANALYSIS OF FOUR SITES IN THE CHUSKA VALLEY, NEW MEXICO (1977)
Pollen samples from four sites in the Chuska Valley have been analyzed to determine their pollen content. These sites, LA 12732, LA 12733, LA 12734, and LA 12735, were excavated as a part of a highway salvage project and are all within a 1/2 mile stretch along U. S. 666 north of Sheep Springs, New Mexico. The elevation of the area is 1789 meters (5870 feet) with the Chuska Mountains rising to the west and an extremely arid valley stretching eastward to the Chaco Wash. The vegetation at the sites...
PALYNOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF SITE 5MTUMR2344 (1974)
This study concerns itself with the palynological analysis of archaeological pollen recovered in Mancos Canyon, Colorado. There are numerous pollen studies from various parts of the southwest, including several in the Mesa Verde area which are indeed valuable for comparison purposes with the Mancos Canyon (cf. Maher 1963, Martin and Byers 1965, and Schoenwetter 1970). However, there have been no previous pollen studies in the Mancos Canyon proper with which to compare this study. Therefore, it...
Palynological Analysis of the Tohatchi-Crownpoint Project: Preliminary Report (1964)
Pollen records of samples from four archaeological sites excavated as a highway salvage project in New Mexico allow feature cross-dating, chronological placement of the sites, and paleoenvironmental reconstructions.

PALYNOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS AT MV1936 (1978)
During the archaeological inventory of Mesa Verde National Park by the University of Colorado a possible reservoir was designated MV 1936. The physical location of the "reservoir" on Navajo Mesa caused some speculation as to the function of the site, as it did not appear that much water could be collected naturally by the "reservoir", so test excavation was undertaken to clarify the situation.
PALYNOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF FIFTEEN VESSELS FROM MV820, MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK (1978)
Pollen samples were taken in 15 vessels in conjunction with excavations at MVB20 during the summer of 1969. In addition, two pollen samples were also taken from the clay below the floor in room 22, and inside the skull of burial 1B. These pollen samples were analyzed for their pollen content in an effort to determine probable vessel contents. The method of sampling these vessels yielded pollen samples representative of the general trash fill within the site rather than being indicative of any...

Patterns of Defense on Perry Mesa: Implications for Prehistoric Legacies (2004)
A common issue of the Legacies on the Landscape project in the Perry Mesa region in Central Arizona is determining if the differences in the landscape are the result of prehistoric land use or if these differences in ecosystem structure represent a preexisting landscape patchiness that attracted prehistoric people to certain locales. This analysis investigates the settlement patterns of Perry Mesa as they relate to warfare and/or the perceived threat of warfare in the region. Perry Mesa...
Patterns of Lithic Use at AZ Q:1:42, Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona: Data Revovery along the Mainline Road (1983)
During Phase I of the project to reconstruct the Mainline Road (Pkg. 140) at Petrified Forest National Park, a two-component site, AZ Q:1:42, will be disturbed. To mitigate the impacts of the project, staff from the Western Archeological and Conservation Center conducted data recovery in August 1983. The site included four loci, two dated to the Basketmaker III period (A.D. 700 to A.D. 775) and two dated tentatively to the Pueblo II and Early Pueblo III periods (A.D. 950 to A.D. 1150). A large...
