This report summarizes the results of the 1996 season of fieldwork conducted by the Rudd Creek Archaeological Project (RCAP) as part of the Arizona State University Archaeological Field School at the Sipe White Mountain Wildlife Area. This field school derives from a long-term research project focused on prehistoric developments in the Cibola region. The 1996 excavations at Rudd Creek Pueblo (AZ Q:16:63 [ASM]) focused on two main goals. The first goal was to document the architecture and...
Archaeological Research at Pueblo la Plata: Surface Collection and Excavation (2004)
The spring 2004 pilot archaeological research at La Plata Pueblo was designed to begin acquiring data concerning the distribution, contents, and depth of midden deposits at the site. Midden of some depth is necessary for the Legacies project goals in order to obtain sufficient samples of 1) ceramics for an accumulations study and 2) well-preserved faunal and floral remains for comparative analysis with contemporary data on plant and animal distributions. Our data collection strategy involved a...

An Archeological Overview of Petrified Forest National Park (1980)
Although Petrified Forest National Park was set aside as a natural park, it is an archeological gold mine, with over 300 sites recorded in the southern half alone. The sites exhibit an unbroken culture history sequence from the Archaic period until shortly before the arrival of Europeans in that part of the Southwest. They contain information about the change from hunting and gathering to agriculture, relationships between the environment and settlement pattern, relationships between major...
The Archeology of Gila Cliff Dwellings (1986)
Although Gila Cliff Dwellings has been known for over 100 years, and has been protected as a national monument since 1907, its archeology was never systematically reported. Several years ago, four of the authors of this report (Anderson, Fenner, Morris, and Tesgue) decided to correct this situation, working, as time permitted, with the records and artifacts stored at the monument and in the Western Archeological and Conservation Center. In the final year of report writing, the Southwestern...

Cosmological Practice and Social Complexity in North and Central Mexico (2007)
To our minds the most interesting issue that emerges from juxtaposing the cosmologies of northern and central Mexico is the relationship between cosmology and social complexity. The regions were historically related and shared both broad structures many details of cosmology. Yet Central Mexican societies had undergone an urban transformation that the societies of northern and western Mexico had not experienced. In our view there are scale-dependent regularities in the material expression of...
Cosmology in the New World
This project consists of articles written by members of Santa Fe Institute’s cosmology research group. Overall, the goal of this group is to understand the larger relationships between cosmology and society through a theoretically open-ended, comparative examination of the ancient American Southwest, Southeast, and Mesoamerica.
Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project faunal dataset (2006)
This dataset includes fauna from thirteen sites excavated by the Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project, 1993-2002. Faunal analysis for most assemblages was by Karen Gust Schollmeyer and Tiffany C. Clark; portions of the assemblages from Las Animas Village, Ronnie, and Lee Hamlet were analyzed by Gretchen Kardaman and Heidi Lippmeier. Faunal data is primarily from A.D. 1000 to the early 1200s, with some additional data from earlier and later time periods. Users should reference this dataset...
La Plata Transect Survey, 2004 (2004)
While the archaeological work at Pueblo La Plata has begun to provide critical data concerning prehistoric demography, ceramic accumulations, and use of plants and animals, it was on the transect surveys that the collaboration between archaeological and ecological research came to fruition in the 2004 field season. This report discusses the data collection protocol that was developed to collect archaeological, small mammal, plant, and rock cover data on these transects, and presents preliminary...
Legacies on the Landscape
Project includes archaeological and ecological research on prehistoric sites in the Perry Mesa region of central Arizona focused on understanding long term human impacts on the landscape. Research area is within the Agua Fria National Monument managed by the BLM.
The Lower Verde Archaeological Project
The Lower Verde Archaeological Project (LVAP) was a four-year data recovery project conducted by Statistical Research, Inc. (SRI) in the lower Verde River region of central Arizona. The project was designed to mitigate any adverse effects to cultural resources from modifications to Horseshoe and Bartlett Dams. The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Arizona Project’s Office sponsored the research program in compliance with historic preservation legislation. The LVAP’s...

Rakita_The Mortuary Practices of the Casas Grandes Region: A Preliminary Database. (2011)
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...
RCAP Fauna Coding Key (2006)
Note: There is an inconsistency on the coding key for taxon, code 593 is used twice. Except for taxon codes 588-593 the key is consistent with ULCPP and CARP. Because taxon codes 588-593 do not appear in the database the CARP (most recent) coding keys are used.
