Linoleum has been around for over a hundred years. With its invention by Frederick Walton in the 1860’s a new means of durable floor covering was introduced to the world. This new invention was promoted as durable, hygienic, and easy to maintain. In agreement with the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, a study was commissioned to seek the best means to conserve linoleum from a canal boat excavated in the summer of 2002 in Lake Champlain. The Sloop Island Canal Boat is part of an excavation project...

The Chandler Power Plant was constructed by the Consolidated Canal Company as a power source for supplemental groundwater production in the Southeast Salt River Valley. It also provided power to Tempe, Arizona and Mesa, Arizona. By World War I, the plant was incorporated into the SRP power system. The plant operations ceased in 1950. The Consolidated Canal was a relative latecomer to the southside canal system, and the water-rights claims made by earlier settlers took precedence over any...

Portions of the power plant and waterway features remain at the site and have been incorporated into the Arizona Primate Institute. The Old South Consolidated Power Plant was the first of three low-head hydroelectric generating stations constructed in the Salt River Valley after operation of the SRP were taken over by the Salt River Valley Water Users Association. In the early part of the 20th century, the surface water to the Salt River Valley was not adequate enough to respond to the...

The Consolidated Canal conveys water for agricultural, municipal and industrial uses south of the Salt River. In addition, the canal right-of-way is utilized for three separate and distinct city recreation thoroughfares. The Consolidated Canal played a crucial role in the development of agriculture in the Salt River Valley, the early evolution of the city of Chandler, and the unification of the Salt River Project’s consolidated southside canal system. Historic portions of the canal featured...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology of Cities: Unearthing Complexity in Urban Landscapes", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. From the archaeological study and enhancement of "urban ruin", understood as an interpretive tool for the assessment of recent materiality, a disordered and poorly defined range of traces of the industrialization process and its consequences can be involved to account for the particularities of the...

This thesis contends that the relative Uniformity of the funerary material culture described as the “Southern Plains Equestrian Nomad Archaeological Complex” (Shafer et al 1994:322-323) is a consequence of an increasing emphasis place by the Southern Plains tribes of the nineteenth century on the similarities underpinning their cultures The reasons given for this sense of accentuated commonality are: 1) a pre-existing undercurrent of shamanistic beliefs and world view shared by these tribes; 2)...

The COP Archaeology Office reviewed this project and provided recommendations in a January 10, 2007 Archaeological Assessment Form. The COP Archaeology Assessment notes that two prehistoric archaeological sites (P:2:8 [GP] and AZ T:12:148 [ASM] / La Villa) are partially located within the project area, a third site (AZ T:12:21 [PG]) is located within 250 ft. of the project area, and several prehistoric canals are also plotted within the project area. The COP Archaeology Office recommended that...

This report offers a technological comparison of Apalachee-style and Colono Ware potteries from French colonial Old Mobile (1702-1711), in modern-day southwest Alabama, and the Spanish colonial site of Mission San Luis de Talimali (1656-1704), in modern-day Tallahassee, Florida. Ann Cordell's analysis characterizes the Apalachee pottery assemblages from both sites, and provides comparative information on contemporaneous pottery wares produced by other native peoples in contact with French...

Part 3 presents the analyses of ecofacts. These studies provide the bridge between the environmental background provided in Part 2 and the material culture studies in Part 4. Ecofactual analyses are aimed at helping us understand subsistence patterns throughout prehistory. Both the paleobotanical studies and the faunal remains demonstrate 8,500 years of continuity.

Part 4 presents the analyses of artifacts. Worked bone and lithic analyses inform on technology, whereas shell ornaments and beads provide hints about the more personal aspects of prehistoric life. Although minor changes in material culture emerge, the clear pattern is 8,500 years on continuity. Combined with the analyses presented in Part 3, these chapters provide the data to interpret site structure and address many of the research issues outline in Part 2.

Part 5 synthesizes the information presented in the report and places the site in its regional context. Because the site provides considerable time depth, issues such as change in site structure and social organization are addressed. This part demonstrates the unique nature of the Elsinore site both from a culture history perspective and as a database for archaeological research. We use this high-information site to reevaluate prehistory and to explore the challenges hunter-gathers faced over...
