The Bear Creek Shelter (41HI17) was recorded and tested by the River Basin Surveys in 1947. At that time, the site was judged to be shallow and insignificant. Enlargement of Lake Whitney in 1975 subjected the site to wave action, which resulted in the exposure of numerous artifacts through erosion of the deposit. This was noticed and reported by members of the Texas Archaeological Society. Testing in 1976 and 1978 by the Archaeology Research Program of Southern Methodist University revealed a...

Joseph W. Ball spent a highly successful and influential career identifying archaeological insights into the Maya through detailed, rigorous, and creative ceramic analyses. In honor of his many contributions, this paper draws on Dr. Ball’s methodological and theoretical approaches by using ceramics as a springboard for deeper anthropological discussions into daily life at Jamestown Island, Virginia during the first half century of English settlement (1607-1657). Distinctions in artifact...

This research is a collaboration between chemists and archaeologists to study the ancient mural paintings of the Lower Pecos. Using two independent methods, we are able to provide reliable age estimates for rock paintings. To obtain direct dates, we oxidize organic material in paint layers using plasma oxidation followed by accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dating. For minimum and maximum ages, we isolate calcium oxalate in overlying and underlying accretion layers for combustion and...
