Excavations conducted by the Ojo Bonito Archaeological Project (OBAP) in 1987, 1988, and 1994 have recovered a relatively large and well-preserved faunal assemblage. This report presents the results of a preliminary study ofthe animal bone from these excavations. In the first part of analysis, an overview of the taxonomic composition of the OBAP assemblage is provided and the diversity and proportional distribution of identified fauna are described. More in-depth analyses of intra- and intersite...

During the post-Chacoan period (A.D. I 175- 1225) the first aggregated sites in the Zuni Region of the American Southwest were built. This research examines a shift in regional settlement patterns and the reorganization of sociopolitical systems during this initial period of aggregation in the lower Zuni River region. A chronology for the post-Chacoan settlements in the case study area is built using ceramic type data. The results suggest that the process of aggregation in the Zuni region can...

In 2010, Archaeology Southwest (formally the Center for Desert Archaeology) conducted a condition and damage assessment of 96 prominent, late precontact archaeological sites on the Tonto National Forest (TNF, Forest) in central Arizona. Field inspections were performed to examine the current condition of sites, record the degree, type, and relative age of observed damage (if any), identify potential factors affecting site condition and damage and, in light of this information, develop...

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...

The papers in this volume—an outgrowth of the symposium presented at the 59th Annual Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology—reflect the growing interest in the prehistory and protohistory of this area, which is perhaps the most poorly understood region in the greater American Southwest. They further reflect an increasing concern on the part of archaeologists, Native Americans, and federal land managers regarding modern human activity that has adversely impacted many of the cultural...

Hundreds of Western Apache roasting pits have been documented by archaeological surveys in Central Arizona, but prior to A.D. 2000 few had been excavated. These large, visible, accumulations of fire-cracked rock and dark soil are essentially the only enduring Western Apache modifications of the physical landscape and the best candidates for planned research on past Western Apache experience, as pre-reservation sites and features in the region are often far more subtle. Two large roasting pits,...

The current multiple-use plan proposed for the Trinity River, Texas, in the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Status Report of Environmental Evaluations: 1975 is a modern outgrowth of a long history of navigation proposals beginning in the mid-nineteenth century. As currently developed, the master plan for the 550-mile Trinity River includes four major developmental components: channelization of the river, development of Tennessee Colony Lake, and the construction of two sets of flood way structures...

During March 1992, archeologists from the Western Archeological and Conservation Center conducted survey, detailed mapping, and feature recording at the missions of Guevavi and Calabazas in the Santa Cruz River Valley of southern Arizona. The most prominent features at the sites today are standing walls of Spanish-period churches. However, both sites also contain prehistoric and later historic components as well. The National Park Service is in the process of acquiring 8 acres at Guevavi from...

While the ostensible motivation for Spanish missionization in the Americas was religious conversion, missions were also critical to the expansion of European economic institutions in the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries. Native American labor in mission contexts was recruited in support of broader programs of colonialism, mercantilism, and resource extraction. Archaeological research throughout North America demonstrates the importance and extent of the integration of Native labor into...

During late September, 1989, and again in mid-October, personnel from the Midwest Archeological Center conducted archeological investigations at Grand Portage National Monument. Those efforts were precipitated by the planned installation of a new drainage system within the reconstructed fur trade Depot. That drain would function to remove ground water from two replicated structures inside the Depot, namely, the Kitchen and the Great Hall. Prior to installation of the drain, seven test units were...
