Locally-Made Tobacco Pipes in the Colonial Chesapeake (2005)
Tobacco pipes made in the colonial Chesapeake are often referred to as “terra-cotta” pipes. Made of local clays, they often exhibit a brown, reddish, earthen color, though they also come in a fascinating array of colors from orange to pink to almost pure white. These New World products have been fascinating Tidewater archaeologists for decades. Who in colonial society most likely produced and used terra-cotta pipes has been an ongoing discussion for over three decades. Theories have...

A wide range of prehistoric site types are represented. Several ceramic and lithic...
MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE ANCHO CANYON MINE AREA, NEW MEXICO (1993)
Samples from several sites in the Ancho Canyon Mine Area, New Mexico, were examined for macrofloral remains. This area appears to be one where several cultures overlapped. Radiocarbon dates range from 290 B.C. to A.D. 1870, representing Late Archaic through historic Jicarilla Apache occupations. Macrofloral analysis is used to provide information concerning subsistence activities at these sites.
A Magnetic Gradiometer Survey of the Waterline Corridor at Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site (2000)
In August 1999, archeologists from the Midwest Archeological Center conducted a magnetic survey of the existing waterline alignment at Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site. This was done as the first phase of a three-phase project whose overall goal is to assist the park in achieving Section 106 compliance in conjunction with proposed Fiscal Year 2000 installation of a new waterline. The routes of the current waterline and its replacement transect two known significant sites - the...

Man and Settlement in the Upper Santa Ana River Drainage: A Cultural Resources Overview (1984)
Between July and October of 1984, Statistical Research, Inc., conducted a cultural resources overview and limited field checks of six proposed reservoirs and associated borrow sites in the Upper Santa Ana River Drainage. The proposed areas of impact are dispersed throughout the San Bernardino Valley, covering portions of both San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, California. Although each area is relatively small, in combination they touch on most areas of the San Bernardino Valley. Thus,...
Man, Models and Management: An Overview of the Archaeology of the Arizona Strip and the Management of Its Cultural Resources (1989)
The region encompassing the land north and west of the Colorado River in the State of Arizona is the subject of this Class I cultural resources overview. This region, commonly referred to as the Arizona Strip, contains approximately 3.5 million acres, of which 2.75 million acres are administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), 650,000 acres are under the jurisdiction of the USDA Forest Service, and the balance is controlled by various State and Federal agencies, Indian tribes, and...
Mapping, Surface Collection, and Soil Coring Investigations at AZ T:4:150(ASM), A Multicomponent Rockshelter Site at Lake Pleasant Regional Park, Yavapai County, Arizona (2009)
At the request of the Bureau of Reclamation–Phoenix Area Office, ACS conducted surface collection, mapping, and soil coring at AZ T:4:150(ASM), a multicomponent rockshelter site in Lake Pleasant Regional Park. The site is being impacted by increased visitation and Reclamation is seeking to mitigate those impacts. The investigations identified four features; these included a thermal pit (Feature 1), a rock ring (Feature 2), the rockshelter (Feature 3), and a previously unrecorded rockpile...
Material Culture of an 18th-Century Gulf Coast Plantation; the Augustin Rochon Plantation, ca. 1750s-1780, Baldwin County, Alabama. (2000)
Southwestern Alabama's colonial history is represented by the sites of native settlements and colonial forts, villages, and river plantations that spanned the French (1699-1763), British (1763-1780) and Spanish (1780-1813) periods. In the eighteenth century, over 60 plantations were established along the major waterways around Mobile, but fewer than ten have been identified as archaeological sites, and excavation has occured at only four. Unfortunately, many of the historic sites around Mobile...

Salt River Project constructed a 500kV transmission line from Boulder City, Nevada, to near Phoenix, Arizona, during which SWCA, Inc., Environmental Consultants, monitored construction at 20 previously recorded archaeological sites. Monitoring took the form of damage assessments at six sites and one non-site location, active monitoring of construction at 15 sites, inspections of site conditions and reflagging at two sites, and examination of possible human remains and monitoring at one location...
Measuring the Advent of Gentility (2005)
My own long-term interest has been to trace the process by which English cultural norms were adapted to New World conditions, to provide insight into why that adaptation occurred, and to assess the role of material culture in effecting that change. As such these are the kinds of questions that have been in the air at least since the 1970s, but which require a rich corpus of comparative and regionally representative evidence in order for archaeologists to have any hope of success in answering...

Miami Occupation of the Upper Wabash Drainage 1984
In 1983, Ball State University submitted a draft proposal to the Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources for a Department of the Interior Survey and Planning Grant. The proposal requested funds to formulate an ethnohistoric study unit for the Miami Indian occupation of the Upper Wabash drainage in central Indiana. The proposed project was to be carried out by William R. Wepler in four stages: study unit construction, background research,...
Miami Occupation of the Upper Wabash Drainage: A Preliminary Study Unit, Miami Occupation of the Upper Wabash Drainage (1984)
This report is focused on the occupation and utilization of the Upper Wabash drainage by the Miami during the period beginning with the contact of the Europeans (ca. 1650) and ending with the participation of the last tribally owned lands within the state of Indiana in 1873; the primary focus of the project is on the era between 1795 and 1881. This project is a direct outgrowth of several ethnohistorical and archaeological studies conducted within the Upper Wabash drainage in recent years....
Micro Analyses of 17th Century Adobe Bricks from the “New” Church at Pecos, New Mexico (2015)
The clash of Pueblo farmers and Spanish missionaries in central New Mexico marks the transition from prehistoric maize farming to the modern era along the Rio Grande River. The interaction between Native Americans and Spanish was not totally either peaceful or confrontational. The first church, built in the 1620s, was later burned during the Pueblo Revolt when Spanish were forced to leave, then rebuilt when relations improved. Four bricks from the new church (Mission de Nuestra Senora de los...
