The Dolores Archaeological Program
PROJECT Robert A. Bye. Christine K. Robinson. David A. Breternitz. Allen E. Kane. Steven E. James. Timothy A. Kohler. William D. Lipe. Bureau of Reclamation.

From 1978 until 1985 the University of Colorado contracted with the Bureau of Reclamation (Contract No. 8-07-40-S0562) to mitigate the adverse impact of a large water impoundment project on the cultural resources in the project area. This complex and evolving long-term mitigation plan known as the Dolores Archaeological Program (DAP) has been called a “truly unique chapter in American archaeology” (Breternitz 1993:118) and was applauded by Lipe (1998:2) for its ability to “increase the power and...

DOCUMENT Full-Text Allen E. Kane. Nancy J. Hewitt. Patrick Hogan. Gary Brown. Steven Dominquez. Joel M. Brisbin. William A. Lucius. Roger Moore. Steven D. Emslie. J. Holly Hathaway.

The Dolores Archaeological Program (D.A.P.) Field Manual was conceived during several seminar sessions held in the fall of 1978. The purpose of the manual is to set forth in clear and concise language standard procedures to be employed when intensively excavating prehistoric sites as part of comprehensive mitigation efforts undertaken by the program. To this end the field manual now contains detailed discussions of preliminary operations, record keeping, sampling techniques, special excavation...

A magnetic reconnaissance survey was implemented in the initial year of the Dolores Archaeological Program to determine if this method would be useful in revealing subsurface archaeological features and in delineating the boundaries of the archaeological sites. The following report is a description of the field activities for the 1978 field season. The magnetic survey was useful in locating two pitstructures at Site 5MT2193 (excavated during the 1978 and 1979 field seasons by Dolores...

The University of Colorado's proposal for the Dolores Cultural Resources Mitigation Program contained provisions for the establishment of a lithic tool analysis program. To implement this program, Dr. R. Knudson, University of Idaho, acted as a design consultant and formulated standard procedures during the summer of 1978. The laboratory, later enlarged to accommodate the analysis of all artifacts produced by reductive technologies, became operational during the fall of 1978. Work thus far has...


Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-017: 1978 Additive Analysis Report (1981)
DOCUMENT Full-Text William A. Lucius.

Analysis of Dolores Cultural Resources Mitigation Program ceramic collections from excavations of prehistoric sites was undertaken beginning in October 1978. An inventory analysis was designed to: (1) approach specific questions of the Research Design; (2) provide an inventory of those materials in relation to taxonomic and provenience systems; and (3) establish a data base for the selection of materials for intensive analyses. A coding system was developed to place the data into a machine...

Analysis, which consisted of the microscopic and macroscopic examination of the ceramic materials, was followed by the input of the data into the computerized project data bank. The results of inventory analysis were used to define specific culture...


Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-047: Botanical Studies - 1979 (1982)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Robert A. Bye.

During 1979, the Environmental Studies Group of the Dolores Archaeological Program developed a research design which emphasized the development and testing of specific vegetation models based on archaeological and modern botanical data. In order to provide a valid basis for such model building and testing, and to provide a basis for comparison between modern and prehistoric vegetation patterns, a reconnaissance survey of the project area, in part using the releve technique, was undertaken. Data...


Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-049: Pollen Analysis - 1979 (1982)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda J. Scott.

Pollen analysis of 10 prehistoric sites excavated during the 1979 field season of.the Dolores Archaeological Program (D.A.P.) was centered on three localities. Seven of the 10 sites were located in Sagehen Flats Locality, including one site which was represented by only a modern pollen sample. These sites date to the Sagehen, McPhee , and Sundial phases. Two sites in Grass Mesa Locality were selected for pollen analysis; they date to the Sagehen and McPhee phases. McPhee Pueblo (Site 5MT4475),...

DOCUMENT Full-Text Allen E. Kane.

The University of Colorado and its subcontractor, Washington State University, completed the third year of Dolores Archaeological Program fieldwork in 1980. During the first three seasons of work, the research approach was adapted to meet the changing requirements of a program with a large and complex database, and modifications of the approach were documented in a series of program reports. Also during this period, program systematics (the spatial and temporal systems and the site typology)...


Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-060: Reductive Technologies Group Midlevel Research design (1983)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Carl J. Phagan.

The Reductive Technology Group of the Dolores Archaeological Program has developed a series of integrated analysis systems for interpreting stone and bone tools at several analytic scales, or intensities, and within several broad technological categories. All stone and bone tools are subjected to a preliminary inventory analysis which is focused on identifying variability in production technology. Separate, more intensive analytic systems are used to examine other kinds or levels of variability...


Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-066: 1980 Archaeomagnetic Sampling Program (1982)
DOCUMENT Full-Text J. Holly Hathaway.

The 1980 archaeomagnetic sampling program involved the recovery of 59 archaeomagnetic samples from 13 archaeological sites excavated by the Dolores Archaeological Program. In addition, 12 samples were collected from 12 experimental hearths located within the project area. Based on the 1979 DAP refinement of the A.D. 700-900 portion of the Southwest curve, the 1978-1980 prehistoric collection sets were temporally evaluated. When these dates were compared to the original Southwest curve estimates,...

Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-079: Explaining variability among artifact collections (1983)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Timothy A. Kohler. Carl J. Phagan. Eric Blinman.

Not all variability in archaeological collections is due to phenomena in which archaeologists are interested. Significant variability among collections from sites and portions of sites excavated by the Dolores Archaeological Program in southwestern Colorado can be attributed to differences in mode of collection, types of study units, and deposits encountered in sampling.
