Use_Areas Shapefile (2010)
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 shapefile is part of a 2011 LEAP II project "Placing immateriality: situating the material of highland Chiriquí" by Karen Holberg. All files associated with this record must be downloaded to ensure that the shapefile...

Using Black Earth and Remote Sensing - Methods and Guidelines for Analysis of Indicator Species Distribution Using Remote Sensing - Presentation (Legacy 10-416) (2012)
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...
Using Black Earth and Remote Sensing - Soil Analysis, Methods and Guidelines - Presentation (Legacy 10-416) (2012)
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.
Using Black Earth and Remote Sensing of Indicator Plants for Identification of Prehistoric Archaeological Sensitivity and Potential Site Integrity in the Eastern Woodlands (Legacy 10-416)
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...

Using GIS to Describe and Understand Archaeological Site Distribution: Mapping Fort St. Joseph (2010)
Geography and geographic perspectives make important contributions to many other disciplines. This thesis project is designed to bring a geographic perspective to an ongoing archaeological investigation. The project is focused on Fort Saint Joseph, a French colonial mission, garrison and trading post built in 1691 and occupied for 90 years. The site has been excavated for six years and plans are in place for annual excavations until 2018. As the body of information about the site increases, a...
VAFB-2009-14: Macrobotanical Analysis of Soil Samples from CA-SBA-658, Santa Barbara County, California (2009)
This document is a report of the results of a Macro botanical Analysis of Soil Samples from CA-SBA-658. This analysis suggests that the inhabitants of site CA-SBA-658 collected plants from Honda Creek, nearby grasslands, and scrub/chaparral to obtain food and firewood. Some of the recovered taxa were also used for medicinal and utilitarian purposes. Extremely poor preservation conditions at both sites have greatly hampered our understanding of how their inhabitants interacted with the plant...
VAFB-2020-01: Archaeological Investigations at Site CA-SBA-793, Supporting Section 106 and 110 Compliance for the MTRS-2 Dock Station Project, Vandenberg Air Force Base, Santa Barbara County, California (2020)
This document is a contractor generated Section 106 and 110 report consisting of a historic property inventory and an assessment of adverse effects associated with the MTRS-2 Dock Station Project. The purpose of the document is to compile any prior or current studies performed in support of the MTRS-2 Dock Station project as a single Section 106 and 100 compliance report. This report provides the information needed by the California State Historic Preservation Officer to concur on the project...
VAFB-2020-02: Appendix B - Soil Sample Analysis Results. In Archaeological Investigations at Site CA-SBA-793, Supporting Section 106 and 110 Compliance for MTRS-2 Dock Station Project, Vandenberg Air Force Base, Santa Barbara County, California (2019)
Soil sample analysis results from flotation analysis for Archaeological Investigations at Site CA-SBA-793 Supporting Section 106 and 110 Compliance for MTRS-2 Dock Station Project, Vandenberg Air Force Base, Santa Barbara County, California.
VAFB-2020-33: Archaeological Data Recovery and Removal of Stabilization Measures at CA-SBA-698 (2020)
This document is a Section 110 Archaeological Data Recovery and Removal of Stabilization Measures at CA-SBA-698. The purpose of this Archaeological Study is to evaluate the eligibility of CA-SBA-698 for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Based on midden characteristics observed on the surface and in exposed erosional profiles, the site is likely to contain information important to the understanding of prehistory and retain sufficient contextual integrity to qualify for listing.

Vanishing River Appendices (1997)
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).

Vanishing River Volume 1: Part 1, Scorpion Point Village: Chapters 1 - 4 (1997)
The Scorpion Point site is located on a remnant of a Pleistocene terrace about 37 m above the Verde River. Researchers began the fieldwork expecting to find no more than a dozen pit houses representing a few small pre-Classic period farmsteads scattered along the terrace above the Verde River. Instead, they found the remains of a ball court village with at least 50, and perhaps as many as 300, pit houses. At the conclusion of fieldwork at Scorpion Point Village, archaeologists with the Lower...
Vanishing River Volume 1: Part 3, Classic Period and Multicomponent Sites in the LVAP Study Area (1997)
Volume 1, Part 3 describes archaeological data recovery and summary results from work at several Classic period farmstead sites and a few multicomponent hamlet/village sites in the Horseshoe Basin area of the lower Verde River. The Lone Juniper site, Usedtobe Ruin, and the Little House site are farmstead sites located within 1 km of one another on Pleistocene terraces above the Verde River floodplain. Excavation at these sites uncovered small rectangular domestic rooms, masonry walls, remnants...

Chapter 4 presents the results of SRI’s field investigations at Classic period dry-farming agricultural fields and associated field houses in an almost-300-acre area west of Horseshoe Dam. This area encompasses the hilly and gently undulating to nearly flat terrain of basalt flows, terraces, and escarpments west of the Verde River floodplain. Within this large area, 23...
Vanishing River Volume 2: Agricultural, Subsistence, and Environmental Studies: Part 3: Chapters 8-11 (1997)
Chapter 8 discusses data from macrofossil and flotation samples from village, hamlet, farmstead, and field house settings along the lower Verde River. Chapter 9 treats the pollen and phytoliths that were isolated from sediment samples collected in a variety of agricultural features including rock piles and alignments, terraces, and field houses, in addition to habitation features such as hearths, living floors, middens, and roasting pits in the LVAP area. The overall goal of these analyses...

In Chapter 4, Whittlesey presents a thorough summary of archaeological research and intellectual history in central Arizona. The author's goal is to situate the LVAP research in the context of central Arizona archaeology. Whittlesey provides histories of the research that has been conducted in the Verde drainage, the Tonto Basin, the Agua Fria drainage, and the Phoenix Basin. She concludes with a summary of the research trajectories and the different explanatory models applied to central...
