To support the work involved in developing a PA, Nellis AFB determined that the area of research should be expanded for the entire north NTTR, 2 million acres, a region of intense volcanism. In 2000, the Air Force funded a large-scale scientific investigation of obsidian and its human associations on 2 million acres on the NTTR, the largest study done in terms of acreage and numbers of artifacts analyzed.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Hard Science on Hard Steel: Scientific Studies of the USS Arizona" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Finite element modeling (FEM) is a method for predicting the stresses in a body under load. We are building a model of USS Arizona to use as a conservation tool - a virtual way of predicting future degradation and trying out conservation schemes. Results will be shown of initial modeling efforts and how we...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As California wildfires increase in intensity and frequency across the state, archaeologists and land managers work to update fire management strategies and reassess fire risks to sensitive cultural resources. Existing literature indicates that while some buried archaeological resources are fairly protected, rock art sites are particularly susceptible to...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Fire lookout towers are early 20th century structures built by the U.S. Forest Service for the purpose of early wildfire detection. As the Forest Service moves away from staffing fire lookout towers, some call for the decommissioning and tearing down these structures, including within the Malheur National Forest. However, these historic towers still serve...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of the Eastern Jemez Mountain Range and the Pajarito Plateau: Interagency Collaboration for Management of Cultural Landscapes" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Southwest Jemez Mountain Landscape Restoration project located in the Jemez Ranger District of the Santa Fe National Forest in New Mexico encompasses approximately 116,000 acres. To increase resilience against undesirable, large-scale fires, a...

Within the Sheep Range in southern Nevada, I identified more than 200 roasting pit features with Google Earth, and subsequently recorded 193 of them. A color change that turns local dolomite and limestone white following exposure to high temperatures during use in an earth oven allowed these features to standout in aerial imagery. Following documentation of these features, roasting pit distribution was analyzed according to midden size and vegetative community throughout the Range to identify...

This is an abstract from the "Hot Rocks in Hot Places: Investigating the 10,000-Year Record of Plant Baking across the US-Mexico Borderlands" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Hot-rock technology was an integral aspect of prehistoric life in modern day southern Nevada. The utility of earth oven use is exemplified in the Sheep Range, located 20 miles north of Las Vegas, where more than 200 earth oven facilities have been documented across six...

Ash deposits are commonly associated with site disuse and termination deposits across the Ancestral Pueblo region of the American Southwest. This paper contextualizes the use of fire, and fire-related products, as part of a larger suite of practices employed to protect past, present and future occupants of villages from malevolent "others" across the pre-colonial northern Rio Grande region.

Since the 1980’s the use of micromorphology in archaeology has grown and developed into an important tool for the analysis and interpretation of archaeological sites. Despite the increase in the use of micromorphology across the various sub-disciplines of archaeology, historical archaeologists have only just begun adopting these methods in their analyses. Micromorphology, the microanalysis of sediments and soils, can lend important information to the formation of, and activity within, historical...

The use and applicability of multi-image photogrammetry was investigated to identify and compare the tool marks left on fired brass cartridges found in archaeological contexts.  The firing marks imprinted on brass handgun and rifle cartridges were used to identify the firearm from which the particular cartridge was chambered and fired. A Nikon DSLR camera and Agisoft Photoscan software were used to create 3D models of cartridge headstamps.  For analysis of tool marks, measurements were taken and...
