The Willcox Playa Study grew from the realization that though surveys had been initiated in the Sulphur Spring Valley during the early days of Southwestern archeology, scarcely any subsequent work was undertaken, with the result that southeastern Arizona remains one of the least known regions of the prehistoric Southwest. We felt that a project would fill a gap in our knowledge of the area and would also contribute generally to Southwest archeology. The fact that the playa area is in the...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archeology, Citizen Science, and the National Park Service" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Organizing a large citizen science event can confront researchers with many operational challenges. In order to achieve desired objectives it is beneficial to utilze an integrated command structure as a basis for the event. This paper will demostrate the use of the incident command system for the ArcheoBlitz held at...

J. Whittaker: Influence of Pope + Ishi on archery. Point weights - archeols use 2g as dart/arrow distinction point, but Ishi and other ethnog bows around 45 lb draw, capable of “shooting through” deer, and modern hunting bows at 45lb also adequate, using points 110-150 grains = 7.1-9.7 grams, so need different explanations of bimodal point weight distrib. Bow more versatile, less movement, more positions possible, more shots, less exposure than atlatl. Points don’t kill by impact shock but...
