Archaeological publishing is moving from the traditional model of the print monograph (as the definitive word), to an open and interactive model in which it is expected that primary data and the processes of their collection and interpretation are exposed for the reader to validate, re-use, and reinterpret. Online representation of archaeological data and research, then, must achieve transparency, exposing the relations between field collection and research methods, data objects, metadata, and...

This pre-base history describes the area of the Cibolo Valley, Texas where the Randolph Air Force Base is located. Influenced by the development of the city of San Antonio (approximately 18 miles to the southwest), the land was crossed by Spanish explorers, by herders who supplied the Spanish missions, by travelers along the Camino Real, and by speculators in Mexican land grants and Texas land claims. Intense use occurred around the middle of the nineteenth century, first by ranchers, and,...

The use of the Avon Park range has increased steadily with time, leaving insufficient time for range maintenance. This has led to the proposal to construct a new range sub-complex within the boundary of the Avon Park Air Force Range. This document covers the findings of an environmental analysis pre-survey of the proposed range sub-complex and its alternatives on the Avon Park Air Force Range.

This report provides the Fort Bliss Directorate of Environment with a series of predictive models of archaeological site location on McGregor Range for use as a decision support tool in the McGregor Withdrawal EIS Project. These predictive models and their associated probability surface maps are based on empirical correlations between known prehistoric archaeological site locations and a range of biophysical variables within the McGregor landscape. The predictive modeling effort has been guided...

Less than a decade ago, it seemed that the Hohokam had appeared out of nowhere. Here was a vibrant population of pottery making, irrigating, settled farmers, and the people before them: the nomadic Archaic tribes, who wandered the desert from one stand of ripening fruit to another in time with nature’s pulse. The one culture appeared so unlike the other that it seemed impossible to account for the sudden change in lifestyles. Then, in the 1980s, the first clues were found to bridge the gap...

This report represents an initial and significant step toward the understanding and management of the archeological resources of the Coastal Zone of Maryland. The dynamic environmental and cultural changes which transpired during the 12,000 year span of human occupation have produced a varied and complex archeological record. Prolonged environmental and cultural stresses constantly erode this non-renewable database. Interim and long-term management goals are presented in this report to assist...

Archaeological investigations by the Central Arizona Ecotone Project in the New River area form the basis for an examination of the so-called fortified sites of central Arizona. Our interpretation of the defensive role these settlements may have played in prehistoric times differs from explanations which have been proposed for fortified sites in southern Arizona. We suggest that competition and conflict over resources led to the need for various kinds of defensive settlements in the northern...
