For the past several years the Smithsonian Institution has been concerned with the problem of dating cultural developments and climatic events along the main stem of the Missouri River (see Progress. Missouri River Basin, Oct.-Dec., 1959, pp.42-60). One of the most profitable approaches has been through dendrochronology, the charting and comparison of annual growth rings of trees. The study of dendrochronology is not new in the Plains. The work of Harry Weakly in central and western Nebraska,...

The purpose of the site visit was to assess the presence and nature of archaeological sites near springs in the new addition to the Natural Area. This was not a systematic survey hut a quick check of the area surrounding three springs; Coal Mine Spring, George Wise Spring, and Matachin Spring. We spent over an hour at each spring. This initial site visit was useful for understanding the potential for buried cultural remains, geomorphological/erosion Issues, and other factors that may affect the...

This report on the Navajo archeology of the Chaco region was planned as the final major contribution deriving from the Navajo studies conducted by the Division of Chaco Research. There is some work not finished as this is written. Whether it will see print before or after this is an imponderable, but it cannot be taken into account in my final summation in Part III, Concluding Remarks. Part III will have to stand as the primary effort at synthesis of the Navajo studies accomplished under the...

The Tubac School, one of the several elements comprising the Tubac Presidio State Park, was constructed in 1885 and is one of the earliest American public schools established in what was then the Territory of Arizona. Although no significant historical events are yet associated with the Tubac School, and many other Territorial buildings are of greater architectural interest, the School is an unusually well-preserved example of 19th Century one-room, rural schools. Today the building consists...

The identification of 47 prehistoric sites during the 1983 survey (Downum and others 1986) and the...

During May of 1990, archaeologists investigated the historic remains on Tucson Block 83, still preserved beneath the debris of more recent buildings that had been demolished for construction of a new downtown bus station. With a specially-designed wide blade, a backhoe gently scraped away the foot-deep demolition debris to reveal adobe, brick, and stone house foundations, trash piles, well shafts, and privy pits dating between about 1880 and 1920 (most of them dating to near the turn of the...

Excavations conducted at Tumacacori National Monument, Arizona in 1979 recovered data that would have been destroyed by the installation of an underground drainage system in the Franciscan mission plaza and adjacent to the west wall of the mission church. This system was designed to aid in the stabilizaton of the historic structures. This report describes the surprisingly intact stratigraphy of the excavated area. Features and deposits were grouped into four areas of associated deposits and...
