In this paper I address some of these issues with respect to mortuary databases from the ancestral Zuni villages of Hawikku and Kechipawan. These data were collected in the 1910s and 1920s; the excavations had goals that were somewhat different than current goals. This paper explores the basic qualities of these databases and the challenges of making the data comparable to other...

Four sites in Lake County, Oregon yielded charcoal for AMS radiocarbon dating. Ten samples were submitted for analysis to identify the most appropriate material for AMS radiocarbon dating. In addition, four groundstone wash samples, submitted from two of the four sites, were analyzed for phytolith evidence of food processing. All four sites are associated with prehistoric occupations; however, historic artifacts recovered at two of these sites indicate an early 20th Century component.
