Reports successful extraction of pollen from Mesolithic archaeological site-context deposits at moor locations using swirl flotation technology. Integration with previously obtained pollen records from Central Pennines Mesolithic sites suggests alternative to conventional archaeological interpretation.

This report summarizes the substance of the US Archaeology panel presentations and provide general comments on data science issues as they relate to archaeology and the other disciplines represented at the National Science Foundation-funded US Serbia & West Balkans Data Science Workshop. We also present suggestions regarding potential collaborative research involving US and Serbian & West Balkan archaeologists. These comments and the assessment are based on our experiences during the formal...

The aim of the LEAP projects was to publish multi-layered e-publications and develop and link them to associated digital archives. The original LEAP project was funded by the AHRC while the LEAP II, A Trans-Atlantic LEAP, was supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. This final map project is part of a 2011 LEAP II project "Placing immateriality: situating the material of highland Chiriquí" by Karen Holberg. The files contained in this record include an .mxd map project and an image of the...

This paper examines the use history of roomblocks within a Post-Chacoan era (circa AD 1225 – 1275) community in the El Morro Valley, New Mexico. It estimates the resident population and calculates the occupation span of LZ 1209 and LZ 1204 in the Los Gigantes site cluster, a group of more than a dozen residential roomblocks dating to the late Pueblo III period. The roomblocks were subjected to an intensive stratified random sampling procedure modeled after the Sand Canyon Small Site Testing...

This presentation continues the topic in the "Recommendations for Applying Results to DoD Modeling Initiatives" above. Remote sensing is defined, methods are presented, and interpretation and analysis are discussed. The theses of the presentation are that vegetation types containing high density of archaeological sites should show the highest potential for discovery of previously unknown cultural sites, and remote sensing, especially high-resolution aerial imagery, is useful in efficiently...

This presentation defines black earth/soils; describes sampling, lab, and analytical methods; outlines the use of the results in ArcMap (Inverse Distance Weighting spatial interpolation tool), and discusses species and soil mineral contents that may indicate use by Native Americans. The thesis of the presentation is that an integration of the use of vegetative indicator species and black earth has more predictive power than either alone.

PROJECT Uploaded by: Courtney Williams

This project collected soils data at four installations (Fort Drum, NY; Marine Corps Base Quantico, VA, Cheatham Annex of Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, VA, and Dare County Bombing Range of Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, NC) to explore the efficacy of black earth as an indicator of Indian activity on the landscape. The project's report includes analysis and major conclusions, which were applied to develop management strategies that can be implemented across a wide range of DoD holdings in the...

Draft of report published in A.H. Schroeder, 1965, Anthropological Papers of the Department of Anthropology, University of Utah, Misc. Coll. Papers 75; 10: 85-110. Pilot study of 3 pollen samples suggests pollen chronology developed for Northern Arizona and New Mexico portions of the Colorado Plateau not applicable to SE Utah.

Faunal assemblages recovered from Site 315 and Site 355, located in the Casas Grandes region of northwest Chihuahua, Mexico, provided much needed information concerning the utilization of animal resources by the inhabitants of small Medio period (A.D. 1200 – 1450) pueblos surrounding Paquime. The analysis of the animal remains recovered from the two sites produced contrasting results. The Site 315 assemblage was dominated by lagomorph remains, although richness of taxa within the assemblage...

This document is a report that details the stratigraphic findings of the Honda Ridge Pilot Project, beginning with a background on the Honda Ridge rock art site and three proposed site use interpretations proposed by researchers. Recent stratigraphic analysis applications in rock art research are discussed, followed by an explanation of the Shumla Archaeological Research and Education Center’s digital microscopy methods and stratigraphic analysis process, and how these methods were adapted to...

Appendix B is a memorandum report that outlines a potential unrecorded pictographic element in the rock art at Swordfish Cave (CA-SBA-503). Jon Picciuolo has submitted the memorandum as a record of the observation of the possible unrecorded pictographic element at Swordfish Cave. The memorandum outlines the element as possibly representing a Chumash harpoon toggle point. The element is on Panel 3 of the rock art at Swordfish Cave. The memorandum includes a description of the element and...

In September 2016, the Canyon Fire burned approximately 12,742 acres on southern Vandenberg Air Force Base. The wildfire impacted three rock art sites, but most negatively affected the Honda Ridge rock art site (CA-SBA-550). The northeastern side of the pictograph panel took the brunt of the fire impacts, resulting in extensive carbon deposits, micro- and macro spalling, and possibly host rock discoloration (Murphy 2017). This study, more broadly situated within the Honda Ridge Pilot Project,...

Paper presented at the annual meetings of the Society for American Archeology, 1958. Discusses assumptions and problems of: techniques for extracting and identifying pollen, pollen distributions and deposition, analysis and statistics. Concludes that pollen study alone is not too reliable a methodology for establishing the types or durations of prior climatic events but it is reliable for reconstructing their geographic distributions and hypotheses of the reasons for climatic change.

The Vanishing Rivers Appendices document contains all of the LVAP Vanishing River appendices. First, it presents a table of contents list of all appendices and referenced figures and tables. The document then provides each of the appendices associated with Vanishing River Volumes 1 - 3 (the pdf electronic volumes) and those associated with Vanishing River Volume 4 (the companion book).
