Los marcadores de cruz consisten en una cruz de madera sostenida por una mojonera de piedra y se asocian con evidencia material que indica diversas prácticas de veneración. Denotan fuentes de agua, cruceros de camino y las entradas de los pueblos rurales. En este artículo, examino cómo los marcadores de cruz contemporáneos en las áreas que rodean los pueblos de Ebtún, Cuncunul, Kaua, Tekom y Tixcacalcupul se relacionan con las contingencias históricas documentadas en los Títulos de Ebtún, un...

Irrigation agriculture has been heralded as the solution to feeding the world’s growing population. To this end, irrigation agriculture is both extensifying and intensifying in arid regions across the world in an effort to create highly productive agricultural systems. Over one third of modern irrigated fields, however, show signs of serious soil degradation, including salinization and waterlogging, which threaten the productivity of these fields and the world’s food supply. Surprisingly, little...

Each year thousands of people come to the Salt River Valley, some to visit and some to live. They see a thriving, growing community. But like many who have spent most, or all, of their lives there, they don't know much about the Valley's origins or how it developed. The men and women who built the Valley were like today's people. They were trying to improve their own condition. In doing that, they contributed to the well-being of one another. Jack Swilling was one of them. Swilling...

The Museum of Northern Arizona developed a location analysis research design for Phase II archaeological investigations of the proposed transmission line corridor route for the Arizona Station Project. Through coupling this research design with a survey of sample archaeological units in the corridor areas, a projection of archaeological sensitivity was generated. This projection was based on a categorization of the total study areas in terms of environmental sensitivity to each. Variable for...

Through LA-ICP-MS elemental analyses of 874 glass trade beads from 31 early colonial-era archaeological sites in the Upper Great Lakes region of North America, and from late 17th century contexts historically associated with French exploration of the Gulf Coast of Texas, I identify patterning in the spatial and temporal distribution of European glass-bead recipe groups. Trading relationships among Indigenous peoples and outsiders in this French "Upper Country" took place on a complex "middle...

This project contains all data for Heather Walder's dissertation, completed in spring of 2015. Abstract: This dissertation addresses the timing of the introduction, exchange, and social implications of two complementary lines of evidence, reworked copper and brass objects and glass trade beads, from 38 archaeological sites of the Upper Great Lakes region dated to c. 1630 to 1730. In this situation of intercultural contact and colonialism, local Midwestern Native peoples encountered...

This dissertation addresses the timing of the introduction, exchange, and social implications of two complementary lines of evidence, reworked copper and brass objects and glass trade beads, from 38 archaeological sites of the Upper Great Lakes region dated to c. 1630 to 1730. In this situation of intercultural contact and colonialism, local Midwestern Native peoples encountered European-made trade items, displaced Native newcomers, and eventually non-Native explorers, traders, and missionaries....

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and Arizona State Parks (ASP) are planning improvements to the access road and parking areas at Tonto Natural Bridge State Park (TNBSP), north of Payson, Gila County, Arizona. The presently-planned improvements, which are being designed by AMEC, include the construction of a new parking area (the ramada parking area) and the widening of the existing office service road to accommodate an additional parking area (the office parking area). The planned...

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...

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...

This dataset contains compositional (elemental abundance) and descriptive data for a total of 21 ceramic and clay specimens from California analyzed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). These data were generated by neutron activation analysis (NAA) at LBNL between the late 1960s and early 1990s. Data from the LBNL were transferred to the Archaeometry Laboratory at the University of Missouri, where they were digitized for distribution through tDAR. Compositional data for these...

Geography and geographic perspectives make important contributions to many other disciplines. This thesis project is designed to bring a geographic perspective to an ongoing archaeological investigation. The project is focused on Fort Saint Joseph, a French colonial mission, garrison and trading post built in 1691 and occupied for 90 years. The site has been excavated for six years and plans are in place for annual excavations until 2018. As the body of information about the site increases, a...

This document is a preliminary report that presents the details of mapping 80 sites (maps not included) known in the project area, brief descriptions, and an initial evaluation of the significance of each site tested in the project area. Only 32 of the 80 sites were tested. As such this report was not considered adequate to provide supporting data for a draft EIS for the proposed Space Transportation Systems (STS) facilities at VAFB. A comprehensive final report on all aspects of field and lab...

This document constitutes a Historic Preservation Plan (HPP) for the San Antonio Terrace Archaeological District (Figure 1.1-1). This district was created by the Air Force to facilitate management because most archaeological sites in the district contain data relevant to a common research theme. The district includes that part of north Vandenberg Air Force Base (AFB) which could be affected by the construction and opera­tion of various Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM} test programs....
