Four small areas that might contain graves associated with use of the California and Oregon Trail segments in Eastern Kansas were examined with a group of geophysical instruments. Two sites contain apparent headstones with the names of the people believed to be buried there. All four of the sites also contain irregular stones without inscriptions that might be grave markers. Historic journal accounts written by travelers along the trails suggest the potential for multiple interments in the...

The Reductive Technologies Group (RTG) was headed by Roger A. Moore between 1978 and 1979 and by Carl J. Phagan from 1979 to 1985, with the assistance of T. Homer Hruby between 1980 and 1984; supporting work was provided by crew chiefs Gail G. Snyder and Phillip D. Neusius. This DAP analysis group was responsible for supporting the broad research goals of the DAP through the implementation of mid-level research design governing the collection and analysis of data from “artifacts which were...

The ability to integrate archaeological findings with extensive archival and oral history resources is often a rare occurrence in cultural resource management. The Hayden Flour Mill project afforded us just such an opportunity, the benefits of which are demonstrated throughout this and the following chapters of this volume. In many instances, the archival data suggested where we might find buried features beneath caps of fill or asphalt on the property (e.g., the Calaboose/jail, hereafter...

Along the Colorado River corridor between Glen Canyon Dam and Lees Ferry, Arizona, located some 25 km downstream from the dam, archeological sites dating from 8,000 years before present through the modern era are located within and on top of fluvial and alluvial terraces of the prehistorically undammed river. These terraces are known to have undergone significant erosion and retreat since emplacement of Glen Canyon Dam in 1963. Land managers and policy makers associated with managing the flow of...

This report describes a cultural resource magnetometer investigation of four delineated areas which may be potentially affected by proposed expansions to the nearshore borrow area of the Canaveral Harbor Federal Sand Bypass Project. Areas A and B extend about 3,440 ft northward of the existing borrow limits, and represent the nearshore (submerged) and upland portions of this extension, respectively. Area C is landward of the existing borrow limits, and corresponds to that portion of the upland...

The relationship between large-scale water control projects and the development of sociopolitical complexity is an important theoretical domain in anthropology that can benefit from the diachronic nature of archaeological data. It is argued that irrigation systems are socio-technic entities, designed not only to satisfy engineering requirements but also to accommodate the social groups operating it. This study develops a new theoretical framework for identifying the task groups operating these...

The papers in this volume were originally prepared for presentation at a symposium titled “In the Footprints of Squier and Davis: Hopewell Archaeology in Ross County, Ohio” at the 68th Annual Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology in Milwaukee, WI (April 11, 2003). Curiosity about the nature and contents of the mounds around Chillicothe, Ohio led Squier and Davis to conduct the first major archeological field study in North America. Field research is still the foundation of all...

This report details discusses the Roosevelt Road Transmitter Site which was used from World War II to the Korean War as part of an Alaskan communications network. The bunker and support buildings were vandalized following its decommission-in in the mid-1960s, resulting in PCB contamination of the bunker and soils around the above-ground transmitter annex. CRREL conducted a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) investigation of the site in June 1996, at the request of the Directorate of Public Works on...

This report evaluates the applicability of several near-surface geophysical methods to intrasite archaeological prospection in New Mexico. The Investigations explored the effectiveness of resistivity, gradiometer, magnetometer, ground penetrating radar, and magnetic susceptibility techniques for verifying the presence and nature of architectural and other cultural features at Kirtland Air Force Base. The research involved the application of these techniques to five sites (LA 107488, LA 53672, LA...

During the past several years, the Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site has been the focus of an intensive archeological and ethnohistorical research program that is reaping great benefits for the management of the park. Beginning in 1976 and continuing for each summer through 1981, archeologists from the University of North Dakota and the National Park Service's Midwest Archeological Center conducted a variety of investigations in the park designed to delimit the extent and nature...

The LaPointe-Krebs House or "Old Spanish Fort" (archaeological site 22JA526) in Pascagoula, Mississippi, is evidently the oldest standing structure in that state. Archaeological test excavations in and adjacent to the house in 1979, 1992, and 1994, 1995, and 2010 have revealed a complex sequence of colonial-period occupation and building on that site. Apart from some sporadic prehistoric occupation during the Middle Woodland period about two millennia ago, the major occupation occurred between...
