Environment Research (Investigation Type)

These are studies that examine aspects of the present or past natural environment to provide a context, often off-site, for interpreting archaeological resources. Sometimes reported in stand-alone volumes representing significant research, such investigations may include geomorphological, paleontological, or palynological work.

Orange Grove
PROJECT Chris Drover. Shelby Manney.

Multi-component project containing both historic and pre-historic elements. It is located in Pala San Diego. This project is for JPOWER and will consist of a new Power Station that will be placed directly onto the footprint of a historic orange grove. The other impacts will include water, natural gas, and energy lines that will be dug and laid between 10 and fifteen miles coming to the power plant. The power station location is approx. 4 miles from the Pala mission and the eastern boarder...

The Origins and Age of the Stone Wall (8M01446) site at Lignumvitae Key (2017)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Michael (Mike) Wisenbaker.

Near the end of June in 2016, I traveled to the Florida Keys with Arie Larson, who acts as DEP's Division of State Lands (Office of Environmental Services) land management review coordinator. State agencies that manage lands covering 1,000 or more acres of property owned by the Florida Board of Trustees are mandated by law to undergo a land management review every five years. Although DHR lacks a specific statutory role in this process, we occasionally participate in some of these field reviews...

Painted Cave Northern Arizona (1945)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Emil W. Haury.

The body of literature dealing with the archaeology of the San Juan drainage, while large, is strangely silent concerning the extreme northeastern corner of Arizona in the region of the Carrizo and Lukachukai Mountains. Prudden, in his classic study of the ruins in the San Juan watershed, mentions both surface and cave sites but they were small for the most part, and none received more than a cursory examination. Many years later, in 1924, a Peabody Museum expedition headed by Oliver LaFarge,...

Paleobotanical Analysis of Two Pueblo del Rio Samples (2008)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Glenn S. L. Stuart.

As part of the 06-61 Pueblo del Rio Data Recovery Project, two sediment samples from the Pueblo del Rio site, AZ T:12:116(ASM), were submitted to Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) for palynological analysis. Both of the samples are derived from archaeological features, one from a posthole within a structure and the other from a structure floor. Both samples produced analyzable extracts.

DOCUMENT Full-Text Ian Lawson. Mike J. Church. Alex Chepstow-Lusty. Frederick J. Gathorne-Hardy. Anthony J. Newton. Andrew Dugmore. Kevin J. Edwards.

Chapter on the paleoenvironment for the Hofstadir Monograph. Until recently very little was known about the history of environmental change in Myvatnssveit, although many other parts of Iceland have been investigated in some detail, beginning with the work of Sigurður Þórarinsson in the 1940s and Þorleifur Einarsson in the 1950s. Notable multi-disciplinary research at the landscape scale, associated with archaeological excavation, has taken place and is still continuing in Reykholtsdalur in...


PALEOENVIRONMENTAL AND SUBSISTENCE INTERPRETATIONS FROM SITE 48CR4ll4, CARBON ,COUNTY, WYOMING (1985)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda J Scott. PaleoResearch Institute.

Site 48CR4ll4 is a shallow multi-component site located to the west of Baggs, Wyoming. The flora in this area is xerophytic and dominated by sagebrush. Two occupational components were identified at the site, based on radiocarbon dates, stratigraphy, and tool types. A radiocarbon age of 4010 ± 160 BP (Beta 11039) was returned for the first component, while ages of 1440 ± 90 BP (Beta 11038) and 1190 ± 60 (Beta 11040) were returned for the second component. Stratigraphic pollen samples were...

Paleohydraulics: Techniques for Modeling the Operation and Growth of Prehistoric Canal Systems (1990)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Jerry Brian Howard.

Past studies of the Hohokam irrigation systems have focused on the examination of small segments of individual prehistoric canals. The application of open channel equations to individual cross-sections has provided information on discharge capacity and water velocity at specific points in time and space. This study focuses on the development of techniques and approaches to modeling the operation of complete canals. Extant records of cross-sections of the Prehistoric Hohokam canals are compiled...
