Ethnographic Research (Investigation Type)
This is research that focuses on the systematic description and analysis of cultural systems or lifeways. These studies of contemporary people and cultures rely heavily on participant observation as well as interviews, oral histories, and review of relevant documents. Ethnoarchaeological studies are a subset of this kind of research that investigate correlations between traditional contemporary cultures and patterns in the archaeological record.

Long-Term Coupled Socioecological Change in the American Southwest and Northern Mexico: Each generation transforms an inherited social and environmental world and leaves it as a legacy to succeeding generations. Long-term interactions among social and ecological processes give rise to complex dynamics on multiple temporal and spatial scales – cycles of change followed by relative stasis, followed by change. Within the cycles are understandable patterns and irreducible uncertainties; neither...

Glyphs and Quarries of the Lower Colorado River Valley: The Results of Five Cultural Resources Surveys (1993)
The focus of this volume is the lower Colorado River valley, one of the least understood regions of the American Southwest. After over 50 years of archaeological research, the lower Colorado River remains a mystery. No major prehistoric habitation site has been located, presumably because they have all been destroyed by the river. Consequently, even the rudiments of culture history remain to be worked out. When did people arrive in the area? What did they live on? How did culture evolve in this...
The Great Maya Droughts in Cultural Context: Case Studies in Residence and Vulnerability (2014)
In The Great Maya Droughts in Cultural Context, contributors reject the popularized link between societal collapse and drought in Maya civilization, arguing that a series of periodic "collapses," including the infamous Terminal Classic collapse (AD 750), were caused not solely by climate change-related droughts but by a combination of other social, political, and environmental factors. New and senior scholars of archaeology and environmental science explore the timing and intensity of droughts...

The Historical Archaeology of Dam Construction Camps in Central Arizona
In June 1986, the Bureau of Reclamation awarded a three-year contract for historical archaeological studies as part of the mitigation program for the Central Arizona Project's Regulatory Storage Division, designated as Plan 6. These studies involved investigations at approximately 50 archaeological sites in 7 localities. The sites were destroyed, damaged, or altered as a result of constructing Plan 6, which created a regulatory reservoir for the CAP as well as repaired or replaced other dams...
The Historical Archaeology of Dam Construction Camps in Central Arizona, Volume 1: Synthesis (1994)
In June 1986, the Bureau of Reclamation awarded Dames & Moore a contract for historical archaeological studies as part of the mitigation program for the Central Arizona Project's Regulatory Storage Division, designated as Plan 6. This study focused on reconstructing the social history of the workers and their families who lived in several temporary dam construction camps dating from the 1890s through the 1940s. This document, the first in a series of three volumes that constitute the final...
Historical Archeology at the Village on Pawnee Fork, Ness County, Kansas (2002)
Extensive inventory and excavation by avocational archeologist Earl Monger and two episodes of evaluative testing by Kansas State Historical Society archeologists in 1976 and 1977 have confirmed the location of the Cheyenne-Oglala village that was destroyed by the order of Major General Winfield S. Hancock in April 1867. Monger’s work and the Society investigations exposed several concentrations of burned and broken historic Euroamerican materials, together with some other artifacts that are...
A Historical look at American Archeology
This project was set up by ASU undergraduate Aaron Deguzman for a individual study project that he did with FPMcManamon in the Spring semester of 2011. Included are digital copies of some of the historic publications he read and some of his written summaries and assessments of these readings. The following two paragraphs are Aaron's statement of what he hoped to get out of the readings course. What I'd like to study is the history of archeology with an emphasis on the public outlook on...
A History of the Building and Structure of Faraway Ranch: Historic Structure Report and Archeological Data sections, Chiracahua National Monument, Arizona (1985)
The significance of the Faraway Ranch Historic District has been thoroughly and completely stated in the National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form. At the risk of being redundant, this writer wishes to condense the statement of significance entered on the nomination form if only to emphasize the more important aspects of history associated with the several existing structures that form an integral part of the historic district.
A History of the Chaco Navajos (1980)
The prehistory of the Chaco country will always remain a sphere dominated by the anthropological approach, for no contemporary written records of the human occupation were ever made. Any attempt to discern what took place must be reconstructed from the campsites, ruins, potsherds, and legends that supply a cloudy picture of developments and events seemingly lost in the passage of centuries. Each new generation is able to bring new tools and concepts into play in our efforts to produce an account...
The Hohokam Culture as Related to Other Southwestern Culture (1962)

The Hohokam, Sinagua and the Hakataya (1960)
The Museum of Northern Arizona has spent a number of years sponsoring archaeological investigations which have led to defining the Sinagua culture in the neighborhood of the San Francisco Mountain area of northern Arizona. The Gila Pueblo Archaeological Foundation has devoted considerable research to the definition of the Hohokam in southern Arizona. Dr. Colton, in his various publications on the Sinagua, also demonstrated that the Hohokam up to about 1125 A.D. and the Sinagua from 1125 to...
Homesteading in the Depression: A Study of Two Short-Lived Homesteads in the Harquahala Valley, Arizona (1988)
As a subcontractor to Northland Research, Inc., Archaeological Research Services, Inc. conducted a data recovery program at two historic sites which were affected by the construction of the Upper West Side Canal and Centennial Levee of the Central Arizona Project. Both sites are located in the Harquahala Valley of western Maricopa County, Arizona. Site AZ S:7:29(ASM) was the Enlarged (Dry Farm) Homestead of Hugh T. Stubblefield. It was occupied from 1930 or 1931 to mid 1933. Site AZ S:7:32(ASM)...

This report documents Hopi cultural affiliation with ancestral groups chat were associated with the Salado horizon (geographical area where Salado pottery is found). The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) defines cultural affiliation as a "relationship of shared group identity which can be reasonably traced historically or prehistorically between a present day Indian tribe...and an identifiable earlier group'' (Section 2(2); 25 USC 3001). As a federally recognized...

(Im)mobile Lives -The Detention and Deportation of South Americans from the U.S (WGF - Post PhD Research Grant) (2018)
This resource is an application for the Post PhD Research Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. This project examines the detention and deportation of South American migrants from the United States, with a focus on the largely understudied migrant populations from Ecuador and Peru. In contrast to studies of deportation that focuses mostly on the period of detention and the return itself, this project examines deportation as a set of social practices occurring over time and as a transnational...

Indigenous Blood: A Study of Indigeneity and Family in Northeast Brazil (WGF - Dissertation Fieldwork Grant) (2021)
This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. This proposal investigates people in northeastern Brazil who claim to have "indigenous blood" ("sangue de índio"), but do not classify themselves as Indigenous people. In the southeast of Piauí state (unlike other regions), no parts of the rural population claim Indigenous status or land rights, yet many people refer to their "indigenous blood." Preliminary data suggest that this refers to...
