This volume explores human adaptation to catastrophic events, particularly to volcanic eruptions. Sunset Crater Volcano is located in the pine forests of northern Arizona, approximately 20 km north of the city of Flagstaff. The volcano was long thought to have erupted in A.D. 1064, with the eruption extending for several hundred years. Research presented here, however, suggests that Sunset Crater erupted for only a few years sometime between A.D. 1085 and 1090, when nearby areas were densely...
Sunset Crater Archaeology: The History of a Volcanic Landscape, Stone, Shell, Bone, and Mortuary Analyses (2006)
The U.S. 89 Archaeological Project investigated 41 prehistoric sites located approximately 30 km north of Flagstaff, Arizona. All sites were on Coconino National Forest (CNF) land, specifically the Peaks Ranger District. The project was conducted hy Desert Archaeology, Inc., personnel for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) prior to widening and improvement of 26.7 km (16.6 miles) of U.S. 89, between the southern boundary of Wupatki National Monument in the north, and the town of...
"Superior to Any Other House in the South or West": The Daniel Edwards Foundry of New Orleans. (2018)
Archaeological recovery efforts at the site of CSS Georgia revealed brass and copper instruments known as gun sights. These gun sights facilitated the aiming of naval guns and are relatively rare in archaeological settings. After the American Civil War, material composed of cupreous metals, such as these sights, was melted and repurposed. A maker’s mark stamped on one of these instruments indicates that the manufacturer of these items was a certain Daniel Edwards whose foundry business was in...
Superstition, Ritual, and Religion Among Ancient and Early Modern Seafarers (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Current Research in Maritime Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Seafarers have long been associated with ritual and superstition. Maritime ritual in Antiquity was often rooted in religion, as sailors for instance offered libations to the gods for a safe voyage. In the early modern period, however, seafaring cultural practices were characterized as superstitious, and the ritualized activities on board...
A Supplemental Class III Archaeological Survey of the Phase A, Reach 3 Corridor, Tucson Aqueduct, Central Arizona Project: Late Sedentary and Early Classic Period Tucson Basin Hohokam Occupation in the Lower Santa Cruz River Basin, Marana to Rillito, Arizona (1984)
Approximately 600 acres of additional right-of-way in Reach 3 were surveyed in late 1983 and early 1984. Fourteen new sites were identified, of which nine received ASM site numbers. The remaining five sites were not given an ASM site number, but merit reevaluation for assignment of a site number. This supplemental survey has altered considerably an earlier view of prehistoric occupation in Reach 3 that resulted from the original 1982 survey of the reach. Reach 3 now appears to pass through a...

Supplemental Record of Decision Connecting Taxiway Alignment Joint Military-Civil Use of Scott Air Force Base, St. Clair County, Illinois (1994)
In 1991, the Air Force prepared an Environmental Impact Statement evaluating the potential environmental effects of the proposed joint military-civil use of Scott Air Force Base. Later that year, the Air Force signed a Record of Decision agreeing to the joint use of Scott Air Force Base, as requested by the state of Illinois and St. Clair County. This supplemental Record of Decision, signed in 1994, identifies the Air Force's decision on the connecting taxiway, detailing the proposed actions and...
Supplemental Report to the Class III Cultural Resources Survey in Support of a Proposed Fiber Optic Line from the Tolicha Peak Compound to Black Mountain, Nevada Test and Training Range, Nye County, Nevada (2011)
In 2010, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) proposed to install a 10.6 mile (17.1 km) long fiber optic line between the Tolicha Peak Compound and the top of Black Mountain, on the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), Nye County, Nevada. The proposed route of the fiber optic line coincides with corridors of existing utility lines and other disturbance, as much as possible, to minimize potential effects to the overall environment and to known historic properties. Only a short portion (600 m; 1,968 ft) of...
Supply and Demand: Colonoware Creation and Spanish Ideals at San Luis de Talimali (2019)
This is an abstract from the "First Floridians to La Florida: Recent FSU Investigations" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Colonoware is a type of ceramic frequently recovered from Spanish Colonial period sites in North America. Often colonoware is considered evidence of technological acculturation and Spanish- Native American interactions on the Spanish colonial frontier. The demand for ceramics outpaced the available supply and thus local...

Surf and Turf: Understanding Montaukett Economic Strategies through the Whaling Era (2015)
This paper explores the daily practices within two 19th century Native Algonquin households at Indian Fields, a Montaukett village in eastern Long Island, New York. Though geographically distant from the white settlements of East Hampton Town, the Montaukett residents of these households were intimately entangled in local and global economic activities and social networks. Their participation in whaling, seafaring, and agriculture, the dominant economic activities, often led to absences from...
Surface Archaeology as Site Assessment: The Haynie Site and the Northern Chaco Outliers Project (2017)
Crow Canyon Archaeological Center is beginning a multi-year project at the Haynie site, a Chaco outlier in the central Mesa Verde region of southwest Colorado. In 2016, the goal was to assess the spatial and temporal characteristics of Haynie through in-field analyses of pottery and chipped-stone artifacts from the surface. This was done via systematic dog-leash collection units placed across the site, as well as judgmental analysis of artifacts in disturbed contexts. Through analyses of...
Surface Geology, Paleoenvironment, and Paleoclimate of Stonewall Mountain, Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada (2014)
Field studies for geomorphology, paleoenvironment, paleohydrology, plant ecology, and isotope geology were conducted at Stonewall Mountain and Stonewall Flat during the spring and summer of 2010 in support of Nellis AFB archaeological and ethnographic studies of the Stonewall Mountain region. These studies revealed natural resources for water, shelter, lithic tools, sulfur, and certain earth pigments exist at Stonewall Mountain and the Goldfield Hills. The playa in Stonewall Flat hosted a robust...
