A detailed consideration of the archaeological record shows...
An Archaeological Overview of the Middle Santa Cruz Basin: A Supplemental Class I Cultural Resource Survey for Reach 3 of the Central Arizona Project - Tucson Division (1981)
In 1979 the Bureau of Reclamation contracted with the Arizona State Museum for a Class I survey of the Tucson Division of the Central Arizona Project (Westfall 1979). This study covered Reaches 1 and 2 and included Arizona archaeological grid units AA:3, AA:7, AA:8, AA:12, AA:16, and BB:9. Subsequently planning was initiated for a possible Reach 3. The possible extension of the project into three additional grids (AZ BB:13, AZ DD:4, and AZ EE:1) required further archaeological study. This report...
Archaeological Pedagogy, Gentrification and the City: Community-Engaged Scholarship in San Francisco (2017)
The Bay Area, and San Francisco in particular, is experiencing rapid gentrification due to the influx of highly-paid workers employed by the tech economy centered in Silicon Valley. As the cost of living increases, long-time residents are being actively pushed out, and various community organizations have sprung up in response to highlight and address these issues of gentrification, displacement, and homelessness. In this paper, I explore the process and results of partnering with community...

Though not parts of plantations, domestic sites where enslaved people lived on...
Archaeological Perspectives on American Cemeteries and Gravestones (2013)
This paper provides a brief overview of our forthcoming book on the archaeology of American cemeteries and gravestones. Over the last fifty years archaeologists have analyzed how cemeteries and gravestones reflect and embody changing ideas regarding commemoration and remembrance from the 17th to the 21st centuries. Cemeteries are important repositories of cultural information and gravestones are essentially documents in stone. Moreover the human remains buried in the cemeteries can provide...

Archaeological Phase I Data Recovery Investigations for the Concho West Well Addition Project Located Near Concho, Apache County, Arizona (2001)
In late March 2000, Lone Mountain Archaeological Services, Inc. conducted archaeological Phase I data recovery investigations at three prehistoric sites to assess the presence and extent of buried cultural materials and determine if there would be adverse effects that would result from a proposed Salt River Project well field expansion project located near Concho, Apache County, Arizona. This project involves the construction of a pipeline and three well field pads that will supply water to the...
Archaeological Phase I Survey of Two 90th Regional Support Command Facilities in New Mexico (1999)
Archeological Phase I surveys were carried out for two facilities of the 90th Regional Support Command (RSC) in New Mexico from September 28 - 30, 1998. Previously, an archeological assessment of 6 RSC facilities owned by the 90th RSC in New Mexico revealed no recorded archeological sites within 4 facilities and too little potential for archeological sites to warrant a survey at those locations. The remaining two facilities were considered to have high potential for archeological resources, and...
The Archaeological Potential Of The Rio Grande Valley Civil War Trail (2016)

Archaeological Practice, Material Objects, and Social Memory (2016)
This paper attempts to circumvent the dichotomy of remembering/forgetting and instead focuses on the process of slimming down or building up social memory. Such an emphasis attends to the question of not whether something is remembered or forgotten, but the push-and-pull of how it is remembered: the details, valences, politics, pulses, and potency. It also considers archaeology – in its practices and in its objects – firmly within that collective and often national process, not separate from it....
Archaeological Probabilistic Modeling of the Charleston Naval Weapons Station, Berkeley and Charleston Counties, South Carolina (1999)
As part of the Phase II testing of 29 archaeological sites and the Phase I archaeological survey of approximately 4,000 acres of the Charleston Naval Weapons Station (NWS), this study uses previous archaeological research to develop a GIS-based probabilistic model (set of equations) that can be employed as a land management tool. The model identifies land units most likely to contain archaeological sites from specific time periods. Fifteen GIS data layers were generated representing the known or...
Archaeological Project Index for the Nellis Air Force Bombing and Gunnery Ranges in Clark, Lincoln, and Nye Counties, Nevada (1992)

Archaeological Prospection Using Aerial Thermography and Quantitative Image Processing Methods (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper explores new methods and developments in thermal remote sensing, aerial thermography, for archaeological research. These methods are applied in a pilot study at Picuris Pueblo, NM. Principles of thermal remote sensing that enable subsurface prospection are considered, along with previous investigations in this arena. Expanding upon existing...
An Archaeological Reassessment and Evaluation of Eight Site Clusters Around Horseshoe Reservoir, Tonto National Forest (1993)
Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) undertook a field evaluation of eight site clusters (77 sites) around Horseshoe Reservoir, in the Tonto National Forest. The boundaries of the site clusters and the particular sites assessed were designated by the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation).

Archaeological Reconnaissance in the Upper Brazos River Basin (1973)
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is studying the feasibility of controlling the natural salt pollution of the Brazos River and its tributaries. A plan to establish control of the major sources of salt pollution in the Upper Brazos River has been formulated. The plan calls for the construction of three total impoundment dams and interconnecting pipelines. Construction of the impoundments will prevent salt pollution from spreading throughout the entire length of the Brazos River and would allow...
