Class II Cultural Resources Survey for the Gila Land Disposal Project, Yuma County, Arizona (1987)
During January of 1987, Statistical Research conducted a Class II cultural resources survey, for the Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region, of approximately 5,330 acres composed of 14 discrete parcels near the towns of Wellton and Tacna, Arizona.

The judgmental sample concentrated on areas thought to have the highest probability of containing sites. A 15 percent random...
Historic Cultural Resources in Relation to the Central Arizona Water Control Study (1983)
Flooding along the Salt, Gila, Verde, and Agua Fria Rivers in February and March of 1978 resulted in extensive damage to property in Central Arizona and in the disruption of ground transportation and commerce in the greater Phoenix area. Major flooding also occurred along these rivers in December, 1978 and February, 1980. The recognition of this flooding problem, and of requirements for the regulatory storage of Central Arizona Project (CAP) water, prompted the U.S. Department of the Interior,...

A Survey of the Stone Comples of Southern Arizona: As Shown Through Material Excavated by the Los Angeles Museum (1988)
Stylistic analyses of sherds have formed the basis of some reconstructed patterns of prehistoric regional interaction without adequately addressing potential factors that affect stylistic variation. The archaeological problem of identifying factors that affect stylistic variation is addressed using the results of functional and stylistic analyses of Red-on-buff vessels. The attributes of vessel size and shape, thickness of painted lines, and design diversity are used to inform on the scale of...
