Akins_Northern Rio Grande_Paper_Exploring Mortuary Variability in the Northern Rio Grande (2011)
The Pueblo Indians who live in the Northern Rio Grande belong to several distinct linguistic groups and their cultural differences may be reflected in past burial practices. With a few notable exceptions, much of the older data on Northern Rio Grande burials is presented as summaries without regards to age or sex and without definitions of exactly what is meant by the terms used to describe even basic treatment such as orientation and body position. Thus, the typical level of reporting is...
ANALYSIS OF STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH SAMPLES FROM RIO DEL OSO, NEW MEXICO (2000)
Several stratigraphic columns were sampled in the cut bank at Rio del Oso to recover pollen and phytoliths that will provide a signal of regional and local vegetation through time. This vegetation is expected to be a reflection of both natural and cultural events. Radiocarbon ages are available for many levels, providing tight dating for the stratigraphic columns. The pollen record was examined to provide evidence of changes in both regional and local vegetation, while the phytolith record was...

Archeology of Pajarito Park, New Mexico (1904)
In the summer of 1896 the writer commenced to investigate the archeology of the plateau between the Jemez mountain range and the Rio Grande in New Mexico. The ethnological significance of this region seemed at that time to have been overlooked, nor has it yet received much attention. The studies then begun have continued intermittently ever since. The first object was to obtain such facts as could be obtained by exploration, photography, and a limited amount of excavation. I hope to be...
Architectural Petterning in Residential Structures of the Gallina Phase from Northwestern New Mexico (2008)
ABSTRACT The Gallina Phase (A.D. 1100 – 1275) is an Anasazi adaptation to the highlands along the Continental Divide of northwestern New Mexico. It is best described as marginal to developmental trends shaping the Puebloan world around it, appearing quite conservative in numerous aspects. Residential architecture is one aspect in which the Gallina Phase developed along its own trajectory. The residential pit structures and surface structures are used to evaluate spatial and temporal...
POLLEN ANALYSIS AT TWO SITES IN THE JEMEZ MOUNTAIN RANGE (1988)
Stratigraphic pollen samples were collected from two sites in the Santa Fe National Forest of the Jemez Mountain Range. These sites are believed to have functioned as obsidian procurement areas. Pollen samples were collected from stratigraphic units at both samples, and were analyzed to provide paleoenvironmental data.
POLLEN ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM DRAGONFLY PIPELINE TREATMENT, SITE LA80924, RIO ARRIBA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO (2020)
Site LA 80924, located in northwestern New Mexico, yielded two samples for pollen analysis. A sample from the floor of a Navajo bell-shaped pit (F. 13) and from a profile of sediments comprising the Archaic component of the site were examined for pollen. In addition, a modern ground surface sample was analyzed for comparability.
Pollen Investigations of the Inundation Studies Program (1977)
The project objective was to determine if innundation of an archaeological site beneath the waters of a reservoir had a detrimental effect on the pollen of archaeological-context sediment samples. Poor planning, poor field execution of a sampling program, and incompetant program administration caused failure of the research effort.
Pollen Studies at the Sapawe Site: Preliminary Report (1965)
Discusses local vegetation patterns, modern pollen/vegetation relationships, pollen sequence and chronology for the site, correspondence of ceramic-dated pollen horizons at this site with those elsewhere in the SW, cultural ecological implications of the pollen record, and plant resource availability during prehistoric occupation.

POLLEN, STARCH, PARASITE, PHYTOLITH, MACROFLORAL, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF COPROLITES FROM ROOM 225, WEST RUIN, AZTEC RUINS NATIONAL MONUMENT, AZTEC, NEW MEXICO (2009)
Aztec Ruins National Monument is the largest ancestral Puebloan community in the Animas River Valley. Several multi-story buildings, smaller structures, and kivas represent residential and ceremonial structures. Room 225 in West Ruin, a great house, contained numerous coprolites, six of which were sent to PaleoResearch Institute. Of these six coprolites, in order to remain within budgetary limits, three were selected for analysis that included finding and identifying macrofloral remains, pollen,...
PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF THREE PROJECTILE POINTS FROM SITE LA 150615, RIO ARRIBA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO (2009)
Three projectile points and a single soil control sample were submitted for protein residue analysis from site LA 150615, located in Rio Arriba County, northern New Mexico. All three artifacts are from a pit house feature with a Pueblo I-II affiliation (ca. A.D. 700-1050). Protein residue analysis may help determine what animals were hunted, and/or what animal remains were processed using these tools.
Velarde Community Ditch Project - New Mexico Phase III (Ditch Rehabilitation): Cultural Resources Investigations (1988)
The on-the-ground survey of the ditches was designed to locate any remnants of prehistoric activities and to note the historic and historic/modern structures and use areas which reflect the past and intertwine with the ditches and fields to create the ambient that is the San Juan Valley. The notations and locations have been used to ensure that carrying out Stage III of the project would disturb or destroy as few resources as possible and to contribute to the general knowledge of the history of...
