Research Design For An Archaeological Characterization Study On Portions of Belted Range and Kawich Valley (Range 74) Nevada Test and Training Range (2009)
An ongoing task of cultural resource inventories on the NTTR is the characterization of various numbered ranges and/or environmental regions as archaeological landscapes. How to characterize an archaeological region is an intentionally vague and open-ended question. This engenders a variety of research approaches that in turn generate data on a range of topics relevant to the study of prehistory and ethnography in the southern Great Basin and northern Mojave Desert.

Research of US Navy Terrestrial Military Aircraft Wrecks (2016)
The US Navy (USN) manages a collection of over 14,000 historic aircraft wrecks, a significant portion of which are terrestrial sites. In addition to planned research of terrestrial aircraft wreck sites, the Navy often receives notice from the public of a potential USN aircraft wreck and must determine how best to respond. Increasing notifications from the public have led to the development of various approaches to site management that take into account local public interest, property ownership...
The Research Potential of DNA from Tobacco Pipes (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archaeology and Analysis of the Belvoir Quarter" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Often, archaeologists are challenged by assigning cultural affiliations to their sites. Recently, four tobacco pipe stems were collected from a Maryland slave quarter and sent to a DNA lab. The analysis revealed the ancestry and sex of one of the tobacco pipe smokers, thereby providing archaeoloigsts a scientific link to a...
