The floated light fractions from the fill of carbon stains and unknown structures at sites 41EP1026, 41EP1623, 41EP1633, and 41EP1720 were submitted identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. In addition, a projectile point fragment was examined for protein residues and organic residues, the latter using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). These sites are located on Fort Bliss Military Reservation in El Paso County, Texas, and represent small, open air camps believed to date to the...

PHYTOLITH AND STARCH ANALYSIS FOR SAMPLES FROM SITES FB 19357, FB 19326, AND FB 19022, FORT BLISS, TEXAS (2011)
Five soil samples were submitted for phytolith and starch grain analysis from three sites located within the Fort Bliss Military Reservation. All of these samples are associated with possible thermal features that may have been utilized for subsistence related activities. The goal of these analyses was to identify any plant phytolith and starch remains that may have been derived from foods prepared using these features. Phytolith analysis was performed to provide some paleoenvironmental...

Predictive Locational Modeling of Archaeological Resources on McGregor Range, Southern Tularosa Basin, New Mexico (2002)
This report provides the Fort Bliss Directorate of Environment with a series of predictive models of archaeological site location on McGregor Range for use as a decision support tool in the McGregor Withdrawal EIS Project. These predictive models and their associated probability surface maps are based on empirical correlations between known prehistoric archaeological site locations and a range of biophysical variables within the McGregor landscape. The predictive modeling effort has been guided...
Shooting the Sky: Cold War Archaeology of Air Defense Training on McGregor Range (2001)
This report is a follow-up to a survey and evaluation of Cold War military archaeological sites in Maneuver Areas 1 through 8 on Fort Bliss (Hawthorne-Tagg 2001). Whereas the first project focused on Fort Bliss’ maneuver areas, the current report documents the role of McGregor Range within the Army’s Military-Industrial context of the Cold War. The project objectives included (1) preparing a historical context of McGregor Range in the Cold War period and (2) locating and documenting cultural...
