Oral History of Kirtland Air Force Base Area Bernalillo County, New Mexico Based on Interviews Conducted Under the Direction of Dan Scurlock (Draft) (1996)
Historic land use of what became Kirtland Air Force Base can be studied through archaeological, documentary, and oral historical records. In 1993, TRC Mariah Associates Inc., interviewed persons who had either lived on land that became part of Kirtland Air Force Base or had a long association with the area and had first hand knowledge of how the land was used and how people made a living. Informants were taken to the Coyote Springs area, a place near which some had lived before World War II....
Oral Traditions and the Archaeological Record of a Wabanaki Maritime Society (2007)
This thesis examines prehistoric watercraft documented in the region now inhabited by the Wabanaki, an indigenous maritime society living in New England and the Canadian Maritimes, from archaeological and oral traditions perspectives. Archaeological research has been slow to accept oral traditions as valid, independent sources of evidence. The paucity of prehistoric watercraft and associated tool kits in this study requires exploring Wabanaki prehistory through alternative sources. I gathered...
Orange Grove
Multi-component project containing both historic and pre-historic elements. It is located in Pala San Diego.

ORGANIC RESIDUE ANALYSIS (FTIR) OF SHERDS FROM THE KANSAS MONUMENT SITE (14RP1) IN REPUBLIC COUNTY, KANSAS (2014)
Curated ceramic pottery sherds from the archaeological site 14RP1, an historic Pawnee site, represent economic activity during the period A.D. 1775, or very slightly earlier, to 1802, when the site was occupied. Excavations during the 1960's by the Kansas State Historical Society produced a large population of sherds that were subsequently curated. Six ceramic sherds were selected from different proveniences for organic residue analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Of...

Original Indian Foods and Food Preparation (2014)
A number of attempts have been made from time to time to publish so-called Indian recipes. This is not one of them. The writer has never seen a true "recipe" for any ancient Indian dishes, but only descriptions of white foods adapted to Indian tastes, or visa-versa. Basically a recipe should involve careful measurements, leavening, addition of condiments, etc., all strictly according to rule. It is virtually impossible to find any such rules in ancient Indian cookery. Such methods of food...
The Origins and Age of the Stone Wall (8M01446) site at Lignumvitae Key (2017)
Near the end of June in 2016, I traveled to the Florida Keys with Arie Larson, who acts as DEP's Division of State Lands (Office of Environmental Services) land management review coordinator. State agencies that manage lands covering 1,000 or more acres of property owned by the Florida Board of Trustees are mandated by law to undergo a land management review every five years. Although DHR lacks a specific statutory role in this process, we occasionally participate in some of these field reviews...

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...
