The tree-ring dating by Terah Smiley in 1958 of the eruption of Sunset Crater Volcano to the year A.D. 1064 was crucial to the interpretation of the archaeology, geology, and paleoecology of Wupatki and Sunset Crater Volcano National Monuments and the northern Southwest United States in general. Significantly, this was also the world's first calendrical dating of a prehistoric volcano eruption, creating a new application for tree ring data. The dating of the Sunset Crater eruption was based on...

Study of a collection of pollen samples collected from AZ 22822 during summer, 1998. The study was principally undertaken to provide opportunities for students to obtain training and develop initial expertise in the skills and disciplines of archaeological pollen analysis. The 32 samples were from proxy surface, dune and pithouse contexts. Analysis used pollen categories rather than traditional pollen taxa. Results suggest the site's occupation history incorporates 5 distinct episodes of...

During 1988 a survey was conducted of 704 acres along trails and 433 acres of proposed burn areas, covering a total of 1,137 acres (Utah Project #U88-NA-184N). Eight prehistoric sites and seven historic sites were recorded. The prehistoric sites are small- to medium-sized lithic scatters, each of which appears to have resulted from one or several episodes of temporary use. Several characteristics of settlement strategies and lithic material use patterns have been observed in analysis of the...

SRP proposes to undertake a maintenance project on the water intake system for the Navajo Generating Station (NGS) near Page, Coconino County, Arizona (Figure 1). The purpose of the project is to ensure the future availability of cooling water for NGS operations due to the continuing decrease of the water surface elevation of Lake Powell associated with the ongoing drought. The full pool elevation of Lake Powell is 3,700 feet above sea level. Current projections indicate the lake surface...
