Hassanamesit, meaning place of small stones and located in present day Grafton, was the third of fourteen Praying Indian towns established by the Reverend John Eliot in the 17th Century to convert Native Americans to Christianity. Established in 1645, by 1671 Hassanamesit contained sixty residents and was the second village, after Natick, to achieve full church status and build a meetinghouse. Based on research by UMass Center for Cultural and Environmental History (CCEH), the 200+ acre Robinson...

During the spring and summer of 1971 and January 1972 multidisciplinary environmental and archaeological survey projects were accomplished in the area which will be effected by the construction of an electric generating plant, associated cooling reservoir, and lignite strip mining fields. The proposed reservoir is located on Blundell (Brunnels) Creek, a tributary of Cypress Creek which forms the southern boundary of Titus County. The reservoir impoundment will be approximately 4 1/2 miles long...

PROJECT Julia King.

Using detailed comparisons of the archaeological assemblages from 18 early sites in the Chesapeake, this project explores the material conditions of culture contact, plantation development and organization, the rise of slavery, and consumer behavior. Comparable artifact databases have been created for the 18 sites, and analysis of artifact distributions has provided great insight into differences and similarities.

Comprehensive artifact catalog for the Archaeological Study of Colonial Chesapeake Culture project, an NEH-funded comparative analysis of 18 early seventeenth-century archaeological sites in the Chesapeake region. The artifact catalog, composed of about 186,000 records, was created from the individual artifact catalogs for the 18 sites, combined and standardized into a single MS Access database. The associated manual and coding conventions documents (below) explain in detail how to use the...

The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), United States Department of the Interior, was in the initial stages of the Water Management Project designed to bring Central Arizona Project water to the Gila River Indian Community (GRIC). Under terms of a contract signed in 1992 with the GRIC, facilities designed and constructed by Reclamation would deliver 173,000 acre-feet of water annually onto the reservation. Federal law mandates consideration of potential impacts of such projects upon cultural...

This collection is referred to as “Archaeological Survey of 3040 Acres at Strom Thurmond Lake 1997-1999.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is nine and a half (9.5) linear inches. The documentation for this collection was originally stored in one acidic cardboard box in acidic folders. No original order was discerned for the materials. Many of the documents required flattening. Some documents contained torn...

This study reports on a survey of the areas in Lassen Volcanic National Park most likely to reveal aboriginal human activity, with some work in the areas less likely to have sites. Despite the limitations, the survey includes virtually every major drainage, meadow, spring, lake, pond, and rock shelter. It represents a large sample of the total park area which would be suitable for human use. In total, forty-seven archaeological sites were located and described. Therefore, this report represents...

The City of Mesa selected Dibble Engineering to provide engineering, design, and project management services for their South Canal Shared-Use Path project. This project will create a new 1.25-mile long and 10-foot wide shared use pathway for pedestrian, cyclist, and equestrian use along the east bank of the SRP South Canal. The new segment of shared use path will extend from just north of the Consolidated and Tempe Canals at the south end to McKellips Road at the north end (Figure 1). Dibble...

This report is a statement concerning the assessed impact of the proposed Orme Reservoir on the archaeological resources. The Orme Reservoir is one phase of the Bureau of Reclamation's Central Arizona Project plan to impound and distribute water from the Colorado River to central and southern Arizona. To be located at the confluence of the Salt and Verde rivers, the Orme Reservoir will flood approximately 24,000 acres of bottomland along both rivers. Previous archaeological data from the area...

A Class III cultural resources survey was conducted of the SRP 12kV and 22kV distribution/transmission line system in and around the Tonto Basin of central Arizona. The right-of-way corridor was roughly 89 miles long and 30 meters wide. An estimated 18 miles of access roads were also surveyed. The purpose of the survey was to identify, record, and assess the significance of cultural resources along the right-of-way corridor. In addition, a records search was carried out in order to identify...

Between October 1980 and February 1981, Northland Research, Inc. conducted an archaeological survey of undeveloped lands on the west half of the Ak Chin Indian Reservation (Ak Chin Community). In the slightly more than 7,000 acres surveyed, Northland field crews recorded 51 archaeological sites belonging to the prehistoric Hohokam and historic Papago cultures. Test excavations were undertaken at several of these sites, and the results demonstrate conclusively the presence of preserved subsurface...

Residents of modern cities are often surprised to learn that historical artifacts and architectural remains survive below ground. The excavations on lots 5 through 12 of historic Block 138 demonstrate that past Tucsonans discarded large quantities of garbage in the areas next to their homes. Hundreds of items were discovered during archaeological testing of the block. The City of Tucson plans to expand its Water Plant over the block, and it was necessary to determine whether significant cultural...

During the fall of 1990, archaeologists from the Center for Desert Archaeology conducted a limited testing program at the Romero Ruin, AZ BB:9:1, a large prehistoric Hohokam village with an overlying historic component, located in Catalina State Park, approximately 10 miles north of Tucson, Arizona. The testing program was undertaken for four reasons: 1) To offset the potential impacts to the archaeological deposits that might result from the construction of a proposed interpretive trail and...

Desert Archaeology, Inc., implemented an archaeological testing project in the northeastern corner of the historic Court Street Cemetery, AZ BB:13:156 (ASM). The project area is within the Catholic portion of the cemetery. The cemetery was in use for only 34 years, between 1875 and 1909, but research suggests that more than 8,000 individuals were interred during that time. The project was undertaken for the City of Tucson prior to improvements and the sale of a portion of the land....
