Wall Orientation for Outlying Structures at Pueblo la Plata (2007)
When project personnel recorded the outlying structures at Pueblo la Plata, reference was made to walls running "north/south" and walls running "east/west". This graph illustrates the variability in precise wall orientation, with black arrows corresponding with walls running "north/south" and red arrows corresponding with walls running "east/west". Results suggest there was no consistent attempt to orient outlying structures to the cardinal directions.
The Walls Still Stand: Reconstructing Population at Pueblo la Plata (2005)
The Agua Fria National Monument, a 71,000-acre parcel of land encompassing two mesas and a river valley, is a region rich with human prehistory. The landscape is freckled with sites dating to the 13th and 14th centuries, ranging in size from a single agricultural field to pueblos of one hundred or more rooms. One particular Pueblo, Pueblo La Plata, was the focus of my research as I attempted to reconstruct its changing population through the remains of its residential structure.

When Trash Becomes Treasure: A Postclassic Maya Obsidian Core Cache from Nojpeten (2014)
This paper examines an obsidian cache offering excavated near the corner of a Postclassic Maya platform structure in Nojpeten, on the island of Flores, Guatemala. The cache consists of approximately 190 obsidian prismatic blade cores and core fragments, but the original number of cores placed in the cache likely fell between 173 and 182, with a best estimate of 177, 178, or 180. The cores were found about 20 cm southwest of the structure in a circular concentration measuring approximately 35 cm...

Why Not Grab That Big, Juicy Piece of Charcoal for Dating? (2009)
Traditionally, archaeologists have preferentially selected point-provenienced, large pieces of charcoal for radiocarbon dating. Examining post-depositional processes affecting charcoal suggests that these items are usually remnants of inner portions of much larger pieces of fuel wood that were burned in a feature. Radiocarbon dates on heartwood and later wood are potentially hundreds of years different, resulting in an age determination that has little to do with the use of the feature. ...
