During the months of April and May, 1976, Salt River Project requested that the Museum of Northern Arizona inspect a number of test pit and bore hole locations along the proposed Coronado Generating Station Coal Haul Railroad. Proposed test locations were examined along three alternative alignments, Realignment 1, Realignment 2, and the Western Alignment. A total of 19 archaeological sites were found during these investigations. Based on the data collected during this time, numerical evaluations...

At the request of Salt River Project, an evaluation of Realignments 1 and 2 of the proposed D-2 alignment of the Coronado Generating Station Coal Haul Railroad has been prepared. Archaeological investigations of both realignments were conducted on two occasions. On April 13, 1976, an aerial reconnaissance of the realignments was conducted and on May 3-7, 1976, the proposed locations of 24 bore holes and 19 test pits, located along the realignment were surveyed. Based on information collected...

Wilshusen et al. (1999) indicate that this dataset should be viewed as a comprehensive inventory of DAP samples by type and number. Samples were collected for a variety of reasons including chronometric dating, environmental and geological studies, and special documentation. Obtaining the results of their analysis requires users to consult other DAP datasets. Variables in the samples dataset have already been described by Wilshusen et al. (1999); see especially the section entitled "Samples" by...

This is an abstract from the "Transcending Modern Boundaries: Recent Investigations of Cultural Landscapes in Southeastern Utah" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. San Juan Red Ware was produced primarily in southeastern Utah beginning around AD 750, and these vessels were traded throughout the Four Corners region of the U.S. Southwest. Its distribution in southeastern Utah demonstrates intriguing patterns of consumption, as some areas within the...

Faunal data from test excavations at thirteen sites in the Sand Canyon Locality, excavated by Crow Canyon Archaeological Center 1988-1991. Faunal analysis was by Jonathan C. Driver, Michael J. Brand, Lianne Lester, and Natalie D. Munro in 1999, using methodology described in the CCAC Manual for the Description of Vertebrate Remains. Context information was integrated by Karen G. Schollmeyer in 2011 using data supplied by CCAC. Additional information on these sites and their fauna is available...

Faunal remains from Bailey Ruin, Hough's Great Kiva, Cothrun's Kiva, and Pottery Hill.This is the full original SCARP faunal dataset created by Rebecca Dean with one column added, ALLGNAW. The orignal dataset has rodent and carnivore gnawing coded separately. Mapping gnawing information from SCARP to the tDAR Faunal Gnawing Ontology required a new variable that combined presence/absence information from both columns.

In this seminar, we have proposed to explore seasonal economic organization among non-sedentary human groups, both prehistoric and contemporary. The objective of the current discussion is to point up certain features of seasonal economy, which can provide foci for reconstructing prehistoric cultures and bases for the generation of hypotheses concerning the derivation and general implications of seasonality, which can be tested with archaeological data. These hypotheses may be derived...

Around the globe, prehistoric agriculture has impacted the environment in ways that are observable today. Prehistoric farmers in the Southwestern US modified the landscape with rock alignments to support rain fed agriculture in this semi-arid region. Numerous studies have shown that former agricultural fields are ecologically different than areas that have not been farmed. This thesis explores the independent effects of the manipulation of rocks into alignments, prehistoric farming, and season...

Genetic and cultural relationships among ancient and historic populations in the American Southwest have long been of interest to archaeologists, and more recently to descendant communities. Documentation of more than 1500 human remains and 4000 associated funerary objects from US Forest Service land in anticipation of repatriation under NAGPRA provides abundant new information to address this topic. This poster discusses research using metric and nonmetric skeletal data and discrete skeletal...

Landscapes across the American Southwest are littered with prehistoric structures of less than 10 rooms used for a variety of functions – from seasonal field houses, to storage, to year-long residences, to boundary markers. These structures, while largely ignored in much of the archaeological literature, can provide information on the human impact across an entire landscape, instead of simply focusing on the pueblo itself or on the agricultural fields. How, then, can these small architectural...
