PROJECT Anne Jensen.

This NSF and Department of Education (ECHO) funded project involves excavation of a village and cemetery at Nuvuk, Point Barrow, Alaska. Ipiutak and Early Thule through recent Inupiat were documented. There is a large associated aDNA project dealing with the human remains, with Dennis O'Rourke as PI.

Archaeologists are particularly interested in identifying evidence of prehistoric long-distance trade and exchange, and artifacts made from stone are some of the best records of such exchange because they can be traced back to specific geological outcrops. Archaeologists often develop an intuitive knowledge about the types of stone and their potential sources that were used prehistorically. In Vermont for example, most archaeologists recognize quartzite from the Cheshire formation or chert from...

Photographs from the 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 Archaeology Open Houses at the site of Fort St. Joseph. Since 2004, the Fort St. Joseph Archaeology Open House has been the culmination of Western Michigan University's field school, and the showpiece of its public education and outreach initiative. Free of charge, the public is invited to view ongoing excavations and to interact with the student archaeologists. To assist with interpreting the archaeology, past open houses have offered...

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...

Sunset Crater is the youngest cinder cone in a cluster of Quaternary volcanoes at the northeastern edge of the Pliocene to Holocene (5 Ma to Recent) San Francisco Volcanic Field. Based on dendrochronologyspecifically the recovery of complacent tree-rings on several archaeological specimens from Wupatki Ruin-the eruption of Sunset Crater is dated at A.D. 1064 (Smiley 1958). The eruption may have continued episodically for approximately 100 to 200 years (Amos 1986; Champion 1980; Ulrich et al....

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...

Beginning in 2004, archeologists working on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation conducted several phases of investigations at the Kitchen Branch site (41CP220) in northeast Texas’ Camp County. The Kitchen Branch site, situated on the northern bank of the Kitchen Branch of Prairie Creek (the site’s namesake), was located within the footprint of a proposed bridge slated for construction during expansion of FM 557 and would (within the expansion area) be destroyed as a result. For...

In 2007 Fort Lee, Virginia, drafted a Range Master Plan that identified plans for the existing ranges as well as future expansion. A Qualification Training Range (QTR) was included among those plans. The proposed QTR will comprise approximately 40 acres (161,874 square meters) and will be constructed immediately north of an existing range (Range 4) and east of Fort Lee’s existing impact area (See Appendix A). Because the project area lies adjacent to an impact area and had the potential to...

This report presents the results of Phase I archaeological investigations of 2707.47 acres on Avon Park Air Force Range (APAFR) in Polk and Highland counties, Florida. The purpose of this study is to provide the APAFR with data for use in the management of its cultural resources in partial fulfillment of its obligations under the National Historic Preservation Act and other applicable cultural resources legislation. The Phase I survey resulted in the discovery of ten newly identified...

PROJECT Bryce Stanley.

Fort Lee Cultural Resources Program staff conducted a Phase I archaeological investigation for the Qualification Training Range (QTR) on Fort Lee in Prince George County, Virginia. Based on historic maps, current topographic data, environmental surveys and visual inspections it was determined that much of the area is poorly drained, low-lying soil. Consequently a low probability shovel testing investigation was conducted. During the course of this survey the remnants of a stone and brick pile...

The purpose of this study was to identify any potentially significant prehistoric and/or historic archaeological resources that might be impacted by construction-related activities. The Ft. Dix Directorate of Public Works requested an archaeological investigation of the project area because of the potential that mid-nineteenth century building foundations and/or their associated shaft features (wells and privies), associated with the former town of Pointville, might be present in the footprint...

Panamerican Consultants, Inc., under a cooperative agreement with the United States Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity, Fort Detrick, Maryland, conducted a Phase I archaeological survey at Fort Monroe, Hampton, Virginia. Occupying the north side of the entrance to the James River, the fort’s location from the initial arrival of European settlers onward was seen as critical to local and regional defense. Fort Monroe was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960 and listed on the...

The Louis Berger Group, Inc., conducted Phase II and III archaeological investigations at the Bird-Houston Site (7NC-F-138), located in St. Georges Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware, in advance of the proposed U.S. Route 301 construction. The Bird-Houston Site is the remains of a small farm occupied between about 1775 and 1920. The site has two distinct parts about 200 feet apart; Locus B was occupied from about 1775 to 1825, and Locus A was occupied from about 1825 to 1920. Documentary...

Photographs are one of the few remaining ways to examine the now inundated archaeological sites in the DAP. Photographic images add context to specific aspects of Anasazi life in the DAP area; in a sense, DAP photography "provides the investigator with ways to understand the spatial integration of households and communities" (Wilshusen et al. 1999:115). Only a fraction of all photographs taken during the project can be found in the published series of DAP reports. Individuals wishing to access...

During the Summer and Fall of 1994, the National Park Service conducted archaeological and geophysical investigations of the Middlecoff and Perschbacher pioneer family cemeteries located at Scott Air Force Base, St. Clair County, Illinois. The investigations included the use of geophysical techniques (i.e., magnetometer, electrical resistivity, electromagnetic conductivity, and ground penetrating radar), archival research, and interviews with descendants of the families buried at the...

A cultural resource survey was requested for portions of Reese Air Force Base near Lubbock, Texas to determine the presence, if any, of archaeological sites within the base properties. This survey located one heavily-impacted aboriginal-Historic site (41LU111) but failed to address the uplands between playa basins that are generally considered as high probability locations for prehistoric campsites. This survey led to the location of three aboriginal campsites (41TY113, 41TY114, and 41TY115) at...
