Atari, Inc. dumped ca. 800,000 video game cartridges into a specially dug cell in the Alamogordo, NM city landfill in September 1983. This action, even though it was reported in the New York Times and Alamogordo Daily News, became an urban legend stating that Atari dumped its unpopular E.T. games, rumored to be the "worst video game ever made." On April 26, 2014, the City of Alamogordo in cooperation with archaeologists and a documentary film crew, excavated the cell and recovered just over...

SRP requested that Logan Simpson Design (LSD) conduct a Class III cultural resources survey of a new right-of-way (ROW) to determine whether any significant cultural resources will be disturbed by the construction of a 230-kV transmission line. SRP also requested that LSD evaluate portions of four previously recorded sites that are within an existing Western 115-kV transmission line ROW. The new 230-kV transmission line will replace the existing Western line as part of the current project.

This dataset contains compositional (elemental abundance) and descriptive data for a total of 2543 ceramic and clay specimens from Israel 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 some sherds...

The table contains two headers. The lower header separates the games into either “box” (a boxed cartridge) or “cart” (a loose cartridge). There is no indication of whether boxed cartridges were either blister-packed or part of a carton of six games. The upper header lists the total number of games first, and then subdivides those into games given to Lightbox Entertainment (as per their agreement with Alamogordo), games sold by the city on eBay (see the related eBay file in this tDAR collection),...
