Eolian Deposition and Soil Fertility in a Prehistoric Agricultural Complex in Central Arizona (2012)
Prehistoric farmers in the semi-arid American Southwest were challenged by marked spatial and temporal variation in, and overall low levels of, precipitation with which to grow their crops. One strategy they employed was to modify their landscape with rock alignments in order to concentrate surface water flow on their fields. A second challenge that has been less focused on by archaeologists is the need to maintain soil fertility by replenishing nutrients removed from the soil by agricultural...

Establishing phytolith analogs for four forest formations of lowland Ecuador: Results and applications to archaeological and paleoenvironmental interpretation (2021)
As part of the Phytoliths in the Flora of Ecuador Project (PFE) (Pearsall 2016), phytolith assemblages from 82 surface soil samples from four distinctive vegetation formations, xerophytic coastal forest (Chanduy valley), mixed deciduous/evergreen forest (Jama region), coastal evergreen forest (Bilsa Biological Reserve), and Amazonian lowland forest (Jatun Sacha Biological Reserve) were studied, with the goal of establishing phytolith vegetation signatures to facilitate archaeological and...

Ethnicity in Ancient Amazonia: Reconstructing Past Identities from Archaeology, Linguistics, and Ethnohistory (2011)
Hornborg and Hill argue that the tendency to link language, culture, and biology--essentialist notions of ethnic identities--is a Eurocentric bias that has characterized largely inaccurate explanations of the distribution of ethnic groups and languages in Amazonia. The evidence, however, suggests a much more fluid relationship among geography, language use, ethnic identity, and genetics. In Ethnicity in Ancient Amazonia, leading linguists, ethnographers, ethnohistorians, and archaeologists...
An Ethnoarchaeological Survey of West Pahute Mesa, Nevada Test and Training Range (2002)
The results of this survey is the first attempt to create such a model which attempts to empirically identify, measure, analyze, and then interpret the cultural resources discovered within a portion of the south-central Great Basin region. This survey will be undertaken within an ethnoarchaeological approach.

Ethnohistoric Land Use Patterns: Elmendorf Air Force Base (Knik Arm) Area, Draft Report (1994)
This draft report provides a background paper contributing toward the long range planning for the management of cultural resources on Elmendorf Air Force Base. One goal is to address general prehistoric and historic land use patterns in this specific area; another is to provide a guide suggesting what to look for during a subsequent more comprehensive survey. This report reviews the context of the study, methods employed and innovated, literature reviewed, and introduces an Indian team organized...
Euro-American Pioneer Settlement Systems in the Central Salt River Valley of Northeast Missouri (1984)
This monograph begins the publication of a series of volumes dealing with select aspects of the Cannon Reservoir Human Ecology Project, funded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District. The project was formed to investigate processes of ecological adaptation and change in the central portion of the Salt Valley. Work reported here was carried out to mitigate damage to archaeological and historical cultural resources in the area to be inundated by the Clarence Cannon Dam and...

Evaluating a Cooperative Approach to the Management of Digital Archaeological Data (Legacy 13-711)
In response to DoD's need for efficient access to archaeological data from past investigations, this project was undertaken as a test case to evaluate whether and how an online repository for digital archaeological and cultural resource management (CRM) data could be developed and managed by the Center for Digital Antiquity to fulfill this need.
Evaluating a Cooperative Approach to the Management of Digital Archaeological Records - Report (Legacy 13-711) (2014)

Evaluating Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy as a Non-Destructive Chert Sourcing Technique
The visual and chemical similarity between some chert types and individual outcrops within the same geologic formation often hinders accurate provenance determination. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) reflectance micro-spectroscopy is a non-destructive method demonstrating potential application in chert sourcing. Prior to analysis of archaeological assemblages the accuracy of the technique and analytical methodology must be tested. The current study examines a sample database of two visually...
EVALUATING MOBILITY, MONUMENTALITY, AND FEASTING AT THE SAPELO ISLAND SHELL RING COMPLEX (2008)
Two of the most salient anthropological questions regarding Southeastern shell ring sites are related to the season(s) that they were occupied and whether or not the deposits represent monumental constructions and/or feasting remains. This paper addresses these questions through the analysis growth band of clams (Mercenaria spp.) and stable oxygen isotope ratios of clam and oyster shells (Crassostrea virginica) at the Sapelo Island Shell Ring complex located on the Georgia coast, USA. The...
