This report summarizes the results of Phase Ill site documentation and other field studies concluded at Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB). During site revisits, a number of new sites were recorded. In addition, other surveys were conducted. These included a survey of Installation Restoration Program (IRP) sites, an intensive reconnaissance of arroyo cutbanks, a survey of the High Energy Research and Technology Facility (HERTF) antennae range at KAFB, and the ADAL water base survey. The results of...

The City of Phoenix (COP) Street Transportation Department (STD) is conducting road and storm drain improvements. The project will require the relocation of an existing Salt River Project (SRP) irrigation line, located on U.S. Bureau of Reclamation land. Because federal lands are involved, the project is considered a federal undertaking subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. It also follows applicable COP policies and requirements as...

Subsurface testing of LA 2014 at Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB), New Mexico found that the tested area, the location of several clusters of cobbles previously identified as possible prehistoric features, does not contain subsurface cultural deposits. Moreover, the testing suggests that the features identified by previous archaeological research may in fact be Pleistocene deposits. In 2004, the environmental branch at Kirtland Air Force Base contracted with engineering-environmental Management,...

In June 1999, Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) surveyed approximately 234 acres of private land for the proposed El Paso Natural Gas Company (EPNG) 2039 pipeline relocation/removal project. AZ T:12:116(ASM}—a previously recorded Hohokam site also known as Pueblo del Rio—was located within the proposed area of impact. ACS concluded that as the site’s integrity and ability to contribute important information about the area’s prehistory were unknown; testing was necessary to evaluate...

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has proposed construction work along the eastern frontage road of Interstate 19 (I-19), north of Nogales, Arizona. Previous investigations identified two archaeological sites within the scope of this project: AZ EE:9:43 (ASM) and AZ EE:9:174 (ASM). When they were initially recorded, data were insufficient for a determination of eligibility for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register). Therefore, archaeological...

The Solid Waste Disposal Management Division of the City of Phoenix Public Works Department (City) has constructed Phases 1 and 2 of the State Route (SR) landfill and will construct additional disposal cells in the future. Development of the landfill necessitates construction of channels and basins around the landfill perimeter to control stormwater flows, and a preliminary drainage report identified concepts for perimeter and interim stormwater controls. A survey conducted for the project...

The Picacho Mountains are host to an amazingly large and complex assemblage of petroglyph sites. Over 4,100 separate designs have now been recorded in the area making it one of only a handful of such concentrations in the state. In January of 1984, the Bureau of Reclamation contracted with the Institute for American Research for a sample survey of the upper bajada and mountain edge zones of the Picacho Mountains and a detailed study of the petroglyph sites within this zone. A final report,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Fort Hunter Liggett (FHL), in the central coastal region of California, contains a prodigious rock art record composed primarily of hundreds of red, black, and white pictographs. Most people familiar with this rock art know of the National Register-listed La Cueva Pintada, a large cave with several hundred overlapping elements, but there are also other...

The results of this preliminary study indicate that arroyos in this region have been quite dynamic in the Holocene and this activity has resulted in a significant archaeological visibility bias. Rapid sedimentation rates (0.3 to 0.66 cm/year) and thick alluvial fills demonstrate that large volumes of sediment have been repeatedly mobilized in brief periods of time in the past. The discovery of several buried Archaic archaeological sites in the arroyo deposits suggests that the lack of known...

Seven years ago the National Park Service rehabilitated several of the oldest remaining buildings at Point San Jose (now Fort Mason) in San Francisco. On October 25, 2010, while monitoring lead remediation efforts around the former Army hospital (1863-1903), archaeologists discovered a pit containing hospital waste which included the commingled human remains of multiple individuals. Diagnostic bottles recovered from the feature support a deposit date of between 1860 and 1890. Historic research...

This is an abstract from the "Recent Colonial Archaeological Research in the American Midcontinent" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Kaskaskia, Illinois, was established in 1702 as a Jesuit mission to the Kaskaskia. Through time it expanded into a large multi-ethnic fur trading and farming community that served as the gateway for the entrance of African slaves into Illinois. By the 1750s almost half of the town’s population consisted of African...

Cadavers have been used to study anatomy and practice anatomical dissection for over 2,000 years. For most of this time, the use of cadavers was neither ethical, nor legal. In U.S. medical study today, most cadavers come from body donation programs largely resulting from the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act (UAGA), first proposed in 1968. The UAGA followed a change in social context of cadavers. It introduced the body as property and provided individuals the right to donate their body following...

Palatka is dying. This is not a metaphor or an over-dramatic attempt to garner pity: Census reports show that more people are moving out of the city or dying than are moving in or being born. In August of 2017 the Washington Post came down to write an obituary on the quiet river town that was once known as the Gem of the St. Johns River. Buried in the ground and in dusty books in the historic society's museum are testaments to the city's rich historic and prehistoric past, yet few if any...
