San Pedro Springs and the San Antonio River provided an ample water supply which enticed the Spanish to establish missions, a presidio, and villas in the vicinity.  Harnessing and diverting the flow of water became one of the important challenges the Spanish faced in developing successful agricultural fields.  Construction of the first irrigation ditch began shortly after the founding of Mission San Antonio de Valero.  Throughout the Spanish Colonial period and into the very early 1900s, the...

This report was prepared at the request of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for documentation concerning the present condition of the Tempe and Western canal segments subject to impact by the proposed Price Freeway between the Superstition Freeway and Pecos Road. Both structures are part of an extensive canal system, identified today as the Salt River Project System, that conveys water for agricultural, industrial, and municipal uses throughout the Salt River Valley. The canal...

Site AZ Q:2:35 (ASM) was originally recorded as a sherd and lithic scatter during an earlier survey of the proposed expanded right-of-way (ROW) of the Salt River Project (SRP) Coronado Coal Haul Railroad (Neily and Irwin 1990). At the request of SRP, SWCA, Inc. Environmental Consultants, initiated testing at the site using systematic backhoe trenching (Boden 1991). Archaeological testing identified six subsurface features, including five pits and one concentration of burned sandstone. None of...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Cub Creek area of Dinosaur National Monument has a Fremont occupation spanning from AD 300-1350 that shows variable reliance on maize agriculture depending on environmental conditions. Settlement data indicate a stable upland occupation throughout the sequence characterized by ~120 roasting features, but an intensive lowland pithouse occupation that lasted...

This paper seeks to evaluate how successive migrations of ancestral Pueblo people from pre-hispanic villages (AD 1250 – 1400) on the Pajarito Plateau of New Mexico restructured potter communities of practice and community identities as ethnic groups joined their Tewa-speaking relatives at the earliest historic period Rio Grande settlements. Oral histories from descendant communities dating to the 19th and early 20th centuries recount how remaining members of these villages resettled to the south...

In the mid-late Classic period (AD 1250 - 1400), Ancestral Pueblo people living on the Pajarito Plateau of New Mexico experienced cultural change due to difficulties in farming during periods of drought. As a result, communities abandoned pre-contact plateau villages to join their Tewa-speaking relatives at the earliest historic period Rio Grande settlements. Oral histories from descendant communities from the 19th and early 20th centuries recount how the remaining members of these communities...

The research presented here works from the proposition that patterns in lithic assemblages reflect human organizational strategies. Preliminary investigations of 26La4434, a single component Prearchaic site in Grass Valley, reveal a pattern of large game exploitation in proximity to a Pleistocene shoreline. Standard metric, morphological, and edge-wear analysis of the flaked stone assemblage is used to evaluate whether the site facilitated access to local wetland resources and large game...

The use of X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) as a tool for analyzing archaeological materials is becoming increasingly common.  Recently, various types of iron ore and iron products produced at furnaces in Maryland and Pennsylvania in the 19th century were analyzed using XRF measurements. These measurements were employed to create a representational graph of the elemental composition of iron artifacts in order to identify a connection between the source material and the iron product.  Documentary...

A study of the Dutch vessel Bato (1806) and British vessel Brunswick (1805) wrecked in Simons Bay, South Africa presents a unique opportunity to compare and analyse the maritime shipbuilding technologies available to these two powerful seafaring nations during the Napoleonic Era (1792-1815). Preliminary research of the material culture record yields data about British and Dutch access and utilization of specific shipbuilding timbers, iron knees, metal sheathings, and variety of fastenings....

Archaeologists and geographers from the interdisciplinary archaeology program, University of North Carolina Greensboro (UNCG), engage the public in local archaeological projects through multiple methods.  Early projects included use of hand-held GPS tied to site information in Belize, and a voiced, animated battle overlay on a modern map.  UNCG investigators offer visitors a chance to see how to collect remote sensed data (e.g., GPR, magnetometer, Lidar), I-Pad 3D imaging, and laboratory...

The National Park Service is investigating large scale yet highly accurate distributed models that could assist preservation activities across the Pacific. Recent innovations regarding reality capture and computer modeling technologies specific to the marine environment, including LiDAR, SONAR and photogrammetry are providing value to heritage projects in the Pacific. The first comprehensive survey of the USS Arizona ship and memorial at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii since 1984 began in November of 2013...

This is an abstract from the "Coloring the World: People and Colors in Southwestern Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The brilliant range of colors seen on painted media in the U.S. Southwest represents only one stage in an intricate sequence required to make paint. Capturing color from the natural world, harnessing it into a palette, and incorporating it into the material cultural repertoire represents a skillset with deep roots. The...

In 2016, a joint NOAA/Ocean Exploration Trust mission in the E/V nautilus conducted a series of telepresence-enabled dives on the carrier Independence, a World War II veteran used as a target ship in the 1946 atomic weapons tests at Bikini Atoll.  Subsequently used as a floating laboratory and a post-nuclear attack training platform by the US Navy, Independence rests in 822 meters of water where it was scuttled in 1951.  The dives, the first to survey and document the wreck, were shared with a...

The neophyte housing complex of Mission Santa Clara de Asís, one of the five Spanish missions established in the San Francisco Bay Area during the California Mission Period, was excavated between 2012 and 2014. Excavations unearthed numerous refuse pits that contained a variety of artifacts including large numbers of faunal remains. Feature 157, the focus of this research, was made up of three distinct multi-use pit sub-features that contained the remains of a variety of fauna. The assemblage...

Technology opens up new opportunities for multi-layered interpretations of historical and archaeological sites. Applications, such as interactive websites maps, smartphone apps, 3D models, and virtual reality, can enable visitors to explore different narratives and see how sites changed over time in ways that are more challenging within a static museum landscape. Jamestown Rediscovery is exploring different technological approaches—both online and on-site—for engaging guests not only with the...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Research in Petrified Forest National Park" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Petrified Forest National Park contains one of the most diverse assemblages of prehistoric pottery on the Southern Colorado Plateau. For decades archaeologists have relied on characteristics of ceramics in order to assist in dating many sites throughout the southwest where the availability of absolute dates for prehistoric sites...

This is an abstract from the "Adopting the Pueblo Fettle: The Breadth and Depth of the Basketmaker III Cultural Horizon" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This illustrated talk uses photographs of Basketmaker III painted bowls and sherds to illustrate four characteristics of BMIII pottery motifs. The data for this talk is derived from 10 years of study on ceramic collections from more than 100 Basketmaker III sites in the Four Corners Region.
