This study was intended to be a companion to the Elmendorf Air Force Base Homestead Study, though the scope and focus are somewhat different due to the later date at which the majority of homestead applications were filed in this area. Fort Richardson probably received less initial homestead settlement because it was further away from Anchorage. The intent of this study is to document the history of homesteading in the area and establish a historic context of the time period. This is necessary...

Forty-nine flotation samples from Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest (Virginia) were submitted to the Fiske Center for macrobotanical analysis. Researchers at Poplar Forest hoped to learn more about historic land management practices through the examination and identification of over six hundred charred wood specimens taken from features identified as planting stains or root holes. While many pieces of wood were unidentifiable due to small size and poor preservation, the overall data suggest the...

There is a deficiency of published material illustrating Piscian osteology in a manner useful for element and/or taxonomic identification. The purpose of this paper is to provide an illustrated atlas of the osteology of the Channel Catfish (Ictaturus punctatus) to aid the zooarcheologist in the identification of lctalurid remains. The illustrations are not intended to serve as a substitute for comparative materials, but rather , as a supplement to a comparative collection, aiding in element...

This report deals with the nature and occurrence of impacts to historic properties along the shorelines and in the drawdown zones of Corps of Engineers reservoirs. It presents the survey questionnaire responses obtained from all Corps Districts and describes the management practices observed in field visits to nine Corps reservoirs. This report describes the scope of the "drawdown problem" and the variety of adverse impacts from erosion, biochemical effects, and vandalism. An overview of...

Palynological research at Bethsaida, Israel, was designed to test conventional wisdom with respect to pollen preservation in Levantine site-context deposits, and to demonstrate the potential of palynological data to evidence behavioral interpretations...This study focuses on information from pollen samples dated by associated architecture to the late Roman Period occupation of biblical Bethsaida, Israel (ca. 30 A.C.) Behavioral interpretations of the pollen record suggest commercial flax...

Cultural resource management (CRM) and industrial archaeology are newer fields to the broad scope of archeology. CRM and industrial archaeology both have methods on identifying and processing cultural resources, but CRM can provide valuable methods on preserving, reusing or identifying industrial heritage. This paper will display how CRM and industrial archaeology are needed together to fully understand the cultural importance and physical important of the building in the past and present.

In 2003, University of Kentucky archaeologists initiated field investigations just north of the famous Sapelo Shell Ring Complex (Site 9Mc23). The purpose of the excavations was to investigate the site’s Late Archaic component; however, test units and shovel probes placed north of Shell Ring II yielded several items of European origin, including several majolica and olive jar fragments and part of a small brass bell. Associated with these European artifacts were hundreds of Native American...

Ecologists and archaeologists have long recognized that fires had an important effect on the vegetation of North America prior to the Colonial period. Evidence from areas as widely separated as Alaska (Shackleton 1979), Minnesota (Craig 1972), and Maine (Anderson 1979) shows that fires burned since before the time when humans first emigrated to the continent at the end of the last ice age. It seems likely that the early inhabitants of North America were accustomed to living in environments that...

This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. This project will investigate the socio-economic foundations of oasis communities during the Early Bronze Age (EBA, ca. 3100BCE - 2000BCE) in southeastern Arabia. These relatively small-scale communities demonstrate strategic organizational and subsistence choices in extreme environments and climates that led to the establishment of widespread oasis agriculture communities across the...

Because of various external and internal factors and pressures, the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians have seen significant changes and diminishment of their intangible cultural heritage throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries due to such factors as the establishment of the reservation system, the effects of Indian boarding schools, federal relocation policy, and other reasons. The Turtle Mountain Tribal Historic Preservation Office, undertook an effort to survey intangible...

This Integrated Cultural Resources Management Plan (ICRMP) provides guidance and procedures to enable U.S. Army Alaska (USARAK) to meet its legal responsibilities at Fort Richardson for identification, evaluation, and protection of cultural resources while causing the least disturbance to the military mission. This plan is the implementing document for the cultural resources program on Fort Richardson during 2002-2006. It outlines procedures for cooperation with the Alaska State Historic...
