The tables included here accompany an article published in the Kiva in 2020 by Henry D. Wallace titled "Dating Snaketown." The tables provide ceramic dates for contexts excavated by Emil Haury and Gila Pueblo (Haury 1976; Gladwin et al. 1937) at Snaketown (AZ U:13:1 ASM) using the ceramic types developed from the 1998 and 2004 seriations and compares the new dates with those assigned by previous researchers.

Tackling the Early Holocene Record in Patagonia (2023)
DOCUMENT Full-Text César Méndez. Amalia Nuevo-Delaunay.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The early Holocene archaeological record in Patagonia has always been elusive. It is often recorded as layers within multi-component cave sites where archaeological and natural materials accumulate. However ordered the layering, careful the excavation techniques, or large the quantity of radiocarbon dates, such sites are complex to interpret due to site...
