Prehistoric Ceramic Boundaries in the Flagstaff Region, Arizona (M.A. Thesis)
This study attempts test the integrity of spatial distributions of three utilitarian ceramic wares identified by previous researchers in the Flagstaff region—Alameda Brown Ware, San Francisco Mountain Gray Ware, and Tusayan Gray Ware—using a data set strengthened by more data and a wider geographic focus, and analyzed with more sophisticated techniques than those previously employed. With a total of 3,753 analyzable sites and a geographic extent spanning from the Mogollon Rim to the Grand Canyon...
Southwest Mortuary Database Project: 2011 SAA E-Session: Mortuary Practices in the American Southwest: Meta-Data Issues in the Development of a Regional Database

The challenges (and opportunities) of NAGPRA implementation, declines in the number of large samples being excavated, and loss of data from previously excavated samples have altered mortuary archaeology in the region. Given this state of affairs, the development of an integrated regional database of prehistoric mortuary practices is imperative. This session at the 76th...
