A Re-examination of the Geophysical Survey at Voyageurs National Park (1998)
A geophysical survey was conducted at the King Williams Narrows Campground in 1987. Three stone circles were visible at the surface during that survey, and there was a radar echo from an object below one of these circles. Since the time of that survey, three additional stone circles have been mapped at the site, and this report is a second look at the geophysical data from those locations. There are no distinctive geophysical patterns at any of the three additional stone circles. Since these...
Relocation of an Historic Navajo Grave at Captain Tom Dam, Navajo Nation, San Juan County, New Mexico: Letter Report (2007)
Fieldwork was conducted to reloacte a 60-year-old Navajo grave at Captain Tom Dam on the Navajo Nation, San Juan County, New Mexico. A lineal descendant had staked the general area where the grave was believed to be located. This area was approximately 12x13 m — and a buffer of 12 m was placed around the general area identified by the family member for a total study area of 24x25 m. A GPR survey was conducted to identify specific anomalies that might represent the burial. The GPR data yielded no...
Remote Sensing Archaeological Survey Permit # 2014.01 - Brevard County, Florida Final Report/Request for Dig & Identify Addendum (2014)
Global Marine Exploration intends to locate and identify the potentially significant cultural deposits within the permit boundaries, in order to assess the significance of each site and determine to what extent they are imperiled by weather, galvanic processes, trawling, looting or other anthropogenic agencies. This information will be used to determine which sites require excavation and recovery or other management strategies to prevent further destruction.

A Research Design for the Investigation of the Marana Community Complex (1985)
The Central Arizona Project (CAP) is a major undertaking by the Bureau of Reclamation to bring water from the Colorado River to central and southern Arizona. The aqueduct, which will help accomplish this feat, extends from the town of Parker, on the Colorado River to the west, across the western desert of Arizona to Phoenix. From the Phoenix metropolitan area the aqueduct turns south, crosses the Gila River in the vicinity of Florence and will terminate slightly to the south of Tucson. In...
