Phase III data recovery and subsequent investigations for Section 106 compliance in Albany, NY. The project focused on recovery of archaeological data from three colonial and early federal contexts. The first two were a brickyard and brickmaker's house from the 17th century. The house was built in the 1630s to lease to a brickmaker; it was burned and rebuilt in the 1650s and finally abandoned about 1686. The brickyard operated from about 1654 until the late 1680s. The third context was a rum...

The use of high altitude environments in western North America and by pre-contact and historic Native American groups has been a theme in archaeological investigations especially since the advent and demands of cultural resource management on federally managed land. The terrain of Hunt and Sheep mountains (2800-3100 m) in the Bighorn National Forest of northern Wyoming is a topographically bounded environment that has avoided intrusive or destructive archaeological investigations (Figure 1). In...

Wyoming’s steatite industry is at least 5500 years old, but steatite vessels are considerably more recent. Just how recent was determined by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dating of the organic residue adhering to the inside of a fragmentary steatite vessel. The date of 101.7 ± 6 yrs BP is the first direct date on a steatite vessel in Wyoming. The surprisingly recent date raises questions about who used steatite vessels. Clearly, Shoshoni (and maybe even Euroamericans) used steatite in the...

Wyoming's wide open spaces and lush grasses attracted both cattle and sheep ranchers, but cattlemen assumed primacy since they arrived first. Federal law disagreed. Sheep raids had happened since the late 1890's, but reached a peak in 1902 with the Raid Lake sheep massacre in which an estimated 1000-2000 sheep were killed. The Raid Lake Sheep Massacre site has been well documented through the years with site revisits by the Forest Service in 1911, 1914, 1916, and the 1960's. Presented here are...

A largely unknown national treasure rests within a two-hour drive from Salt Lake City. Tucked into the sparsely populated western expanse of Box Elder County, Utah, the ghosts of the United States' first transcontinental railroad still haunt 87 miles of abandoned original railroad grade on lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM}, National Park Service (NPS) and, to a lesser extent, private land.

I present a preliminary regional database of mortuary practices for the Casas Grandes region of Chihuahua, Mexico. The reported prehistoric mortuary remains from the region are overwhelmingly drawn from the Paquime and Convento sites reported by Charles C. DiPeso and colleagues. Often overlooked, however, are several smaller samples that are reported with less detail. Given the complex nature of mortuary ritual from the region (especially in the late ceramic periods), the structure of the...
