Data Recovery / Excavation (Investigation Type)
These investigations include substantial field investigation of an archaeological site (or sites) involving the removal, and systematic recording of, archaeological matrix. These activities often mitigate the adverse effects of a public undertaking. This includes the description, analysis, and specialized studies of artifacts and samples recovered during excavations.

ANALYSIS OF MACROFLORAL SAMPLES FROM CA-SHA-47, SACRAMENTO VALLEY, NORTHERN CALIFORNIA (2000)
Two pre-floated soil samples from CA-SHA-47 were sent for macrobotanic identification. The samples were recovered from a subsurface cobble layer identified as Feature 1. This feature was unique at the site and contained a variety of artifacts including ground stones, chipped stone, and fire-broken rocks and cobbles. The prehistoric activities associated with the site are unknown; although use as an aboriginal salmon drying area has been postulated (Lisa Shapiro, personal communication,...

ANALYSIS OF ORGANIC RESIDUES AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING FOR A PIPE STEM FROM THE HURDY GURDY BRIDGE SITE (CA-DNO-1028), DEL NORTE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (2012)
A stone pipe stem recovered from the Hurdy Gurdy Bridge Site (CA-DNO-1028) in Del Norte County, northwestern California, was examined for pollen, phytolith, and starch evidence of use. In addition, the organic residue signature was examined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). An AMS radiocarbon date was obtained on organic compounds (humates) that had penetrated the ceramic matrix of the pipe.

ANALYSIS OF POLLEN AND CHARCOAL FROM THE FOLSOM SITE (29CX1), NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO (2000)
Three pollen and seventeen charcoal samples from the Folsom Site (29CX1) in northeastern New Mexico were sent for identification and analysis. The pollen samples represent sediments above and below the bison bone bed, as well as associated with a bison cranium. The charcoal samples were recovered from the bone bed, a hearth, arroyo fill, and gravels. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. Identification of charcoal...
ANALYSIS OF POLLEN AND CHARRED MACROFLORAL REMAINS FROM THE NAHO SANTA THERESA EXCAVATION PROJECT, SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO (1986)
Twenty-three pollen and 42 bulk soil samples were collected in conjunction with the Navajo-Hopi Land Exchange Archaeological Project in the extreme southeastern portion of Dona Ana County, New Mexico. This project is located within the geographic area known as the Mesilla Bolson, a relatively flat plain west of the Rio Grande, referred to as the West Mesa. This plain terminates in a jagged scarp bordering the river plain. Areas of both low and high artifact density were recovered. Features...
AN ANALYSIS OF POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL SAMPLES FROM SITE 14MT138 ALONG THE NORTH FORK OF THE CIMARRON RIVER, KANSAS (2000)
Bulk soil samples were sent from 14MT138 for pollen and macrofloral analysis. The samples were recovered during a site reconnaissance along the North Fork of the Cimarron River on the Cimarron National Grassland in Morton County, Kansas. The samples were excavated from an amorphous organic stain, identified as Feature 1. The feature contained a variety of cultural materials including flecks of charcoal, bone fragments, and chipped stone artifacts. One burial, containing fragmentary human...
AN ANALYSIS OF POLLEN FROM 5MTUMR 2837, MANCOS CANYON, COLORADO (1977)
Site 5MTUMR 2837 is a PII to PIlI transition site in Mancos Canyon located approximately 4 miles southwest of the confluence of Mancos and Johnson Canyon. The site lies approximately 130 meters north of the Mancos River. Six features were sampled within the site, all associated with occupation levels. It was hoped that analysis of these samples would provide data concerning the function of the rooms sampled and environmental data for comparison with other sites which have been sampled in the...
ANALYSIS OF PROTEIN RESIDUE AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) OF A PROJECTILE POINT FRAGMENT FROM SITE 41EP1026, AS WELL AS IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARRED MATERIAL FROM FEATURE FILL AT SITES 41EP1026, 41EP1623, 41EP1633, AND 41EP1720, ON THE FORT BLISS MILITARY RESERVATION, TEXAS (2008)
The floated light fractions from the fill of carbon stains and unknown structures at sites 41EP1026, 41EP1623, 41EP1633, and 41EP1720 were submitted identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. In addition, a projectile point fragment was examined for protein residues and organic residues, the latter using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). These sites are located on Fort Bliss Military Reservation in El Paso County, Texas, and represent small, open air camps believed to date to the...
ANALYSIS OF RESIDUE FROM AN ANASAZI POT FOR POLLEN AND FIBERS (1981)
The residue recovered from the bottom of an Anasazi black-on-white bowl found in Burial 4 of Group 4 in the Bob Shields Ruins near Goodman School in Montezuma County, Colorado by Cliff Chappell in April of 1961 was examined for pollen and fibers. This bowl had been exposed to the air for many years. Pollen and fiber analysis of the residue in the bottom of this vessel was designed to identify the composition of the residue.
ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM KHOR KHARFOT, DHOFAR, OMAN (2016)
During field excavations in February 2016, numerous stratigraphic sediment samples were collected. Three of these were selected for AMS radiocarbon analysis to include dates on both shell and organics in the form of humates (soil organic matter or SOM) or charcoal, if any could be recovered. Sufficient quantities of sediments were collected from each location to allow pollen and/or phytolith analysis, either as part of the first batch of samples examined or for examination at a later date. In...
ANALYSIS OF STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH SAMPLES FROM RIO DEL OSO, NEW MEXICO (2000)
Several stratigraphic columns were sampled in the cut bank at Rio del Oso to recover pollen and phytoliths that will provide a signal of regional and local vegetation through time. This vegetation is expected to be a reflection of both natural and cultural events. Radiocarbon ages are available for many levels, providing tight dating for the stratigraphic columns. The pollen record was examined to provide evidence of changes in both regional and local vegetation, while the phytolith record was...

ANALYSIS OF SURFACE POLLEN SAMPLES AND FEATURE PHYTOLITH SAMPLES AT THE SANCHEZ COPPER DATA RECOVERY PROJECT, GRAHAM COUNTY, ARIZONA (1995)
Previous pollen and macrofloral examination of samples from the Sanchez Copper Data Recovery Project yielded evidence of Gossypium and Zea mays pollen in several of the archaeological features. Because modern cotton is cultivated in this area, it was deemed important to understand the distribution of cotton pollen in this area more fully. Therefore, a series of modern surface samples were examined for pollen to establish the distance that Gossypium pollen are expected to be transported in...

ANALYSIS OF TRINIDAD LAKE MACROBOTANICAL SAMPLES (1996)
A total of 50 botanical specimens from archaeological excavations at Trinidad Lake, Colorado, were identified. Six of these samples consist of corn cob fragments that were measured, while the remaining samples represent a mixture of seeds and charcoal. Macrofloral analysis was undertaken as part of a thesis project with the hope of identifying possible native and cultivated resources utilized by the site occupants and possibly to determine the past method used to recover these samples.
