A combined testing and data recovery program was undertaken by SWCA, Inc. between August 25 and September 22, 2000 at AZ BB:9:171 (ASM). Fourteen backhoe trenches totaling approximately 275 linear meters were cut during testing. Seventeen cultural features and six possible features were subsequently identified. Data recovery involved testing of all seven pithouses that were identified. This was followed by intensive excavation of four of the pithouses as well as four extramural features. The...

The site is projected to be impacted by planned road improvements by the Pima County Department of Transportation and Flood Control District, in cooperation with the Arizona Department of Transportation. Data recovery involved the...

The Operation and Evolution of an Irrigation System: The East Papago Canal Study (1991)
Archaeological investigations sponsored by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) were conducted by Soil Systems, Inc. (SSI) at several sites within the East Papago Freeway corridor, including El Caserío (AZ T:12:49(ASM)), La Lomita (AZ U:9:67(ASM)), and La Lomita Pequeña (AZ U:9:66(ASM)). During the investigation of these sites, a significant number of canal alignments were encountered, prompting the sponsoring of the East Papago Canal Study by ADOT. Canal System 2, traversed by the...
Orange Grove
Multi-component project containing both historic and pre-historic elements. It is located in Pala San Diego. This project is for JPOWER and will consist of a new Power Station that will be placed directly onto the footprint of a historic orange grove. The other impacts will include water, natural gas, and energy lines that will be dug and laid between 10 and fifteen miles coming to the power plant. The power station location is approx. 4 miles from the Pala mission and the eastern boarder...
Orange Grove (2009)
Multi-component project containing both historic and pre-historic elements. It is located in Pala San Diego. This project was for JPOWER and consisted of a new Power Station that will be placed directly onto the footprint of a historic orange grove.

ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SAMPLES FROM SITES 25FT54, 25FT56, 25FT354, AND 25RW1, RED WILLOW CREEK VALLEY, NEBRASKA (2011)
Ceramic sherds (some with visible residue), charcoal, charred corn kernels, and a bone fragment from sites 25FT54, 25FT56, 25FT354, and 25RW1 in the Red Willow Creek Valley of southwestern Nebraska were submitted for organic residue analysis, identification, and/or AMS radiocarbon dating. The ceramics were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify probable contents of the residues. Charcoal identification reveals the types of wood burned as...
ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS, BONE COLLAGEN EXTRACTION, AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION ON SAMPLES FROM SITES 21HE99, 21FE76, 21BL26, AND 21ML12, MINNESOTA (2019)
In Minnesota, understanding ceramic periods of prehistory and their attendant subsistence practices is of critical importance. Our previous study (Scott Cummings 2017) indicates that problems with radiocarbon dates on ceramics are not unique to this period. Instead, the entire prehistoric record is affected. The natural Minnesota landscape contributes dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and organic carbon (DOC), confounding efforts to create a clean radiocarbon record. When graphing all dates from...
ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SGANG GWAAY STORM DAMAGE, SITE 660T22, GWALL HAANAS NATIONAL PARK RESERVE, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA (2020)
A cast iron cooking pot was retrieved from 660T22 during GHMPR SGang Gwaay Storm Damage mitigation in Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve. Basal sediment was submitted for starch and organic residue analysis, the latter using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectropscopy (FTIR) to search for evidence of this pot’s use.
The Oshara Tradition: Origins of Anasazi Cutlure (1973)
Some of the most intriguing problems in the p re his to r-y of the New World concern the origins and development of the sophisticated sedentary town-dwelling Indians of the Southwestern United States, particularly the Pueblos. Seventy five 'years of extensive research have yielded a considerable amount of infor- matron on the immediate background of these native Pueblo peo- pl es , whose prehistoric representatives archaeologists group under the term Anasazi Culture. However, almost all of this...
An Outline of the Environmental Chronology of the Little Colorado Drainage Basin, Arizona (1961)
Paper presented at the annual meetings of the Society for American Archeology, 1961. Discusses pollen sequence changes and environmental shifts evidenced by samples from ten sites and modern surface controls. Pollen record suggests irrigation in the Little Colorado River Basin 1275-1300 A.D.

Paleobotanical Analysis of Two Pueblo del Rio Samples (2008)
As part of the 06-61 Pueblo del Rio Data Recovery Project, two sediment samples from the Pueblo del Rio site, AZ T:12:116(ASM), were submitted to Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) for palynological analysis. Both of the samples are derived from archaeological features, one from a posthole within a structure and the other from a structure floor. Both samples produced analyzable extracts.
PALEOCLIMATE AND PLANT UTILIZATION AS REFLECTED IN THE POLLEN ANALYSIS OF FOUR SITES IN THE CHUSKA VALLEY, NEW MEXICO (1977)
Pollen samples from four sites in the Chuska Valley have been analyzed to determine their pollen content. These sites, LA 12732, LA 12733, LA 12734, and LA 12735, were excavated as a part of a highway salvage project and are all within a 1/2 mile stretch along U. S. 666 north of Sheep Springs, New Mexico. The elevation of the area is 1789 meters (5870 feet) with the Chuska Mountains rising to the west and an extremely arid valley stretching eastward to the Chaco Wash. The vegetation at the sites...
PALEOENVIRONMENT AND SUBSISTENCE INTERPRETATIONS FROM THE POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL RECORDS AT THE MASSEY DRAW SITE (5JF339) (1985)
Pollen and macrofloral analyses were conducted in conjunction with archaeological mitigation at site 5JF339. This site is located along the hogback of the front range near Massey Draw. The pollen analysis focused on the recovery of paleoenvironmental data from two pollen columns; one collected near the creek bank and bone bed, and the other farther up the hill in the area of the archaeologically defined camp. In addition, several pollen samples were collected within features or represent...
PALEOENVIRONMENTAL AND SUBSISTENCE DATA FOR THREE SITES IN THE EASTERN SEVIER DESERT, WESTERN UTAH (1985)
Three of the archaeological sites mitigated in connection with the 345kv Intermountain - Mona Line 1 were sampled for pollen. These three sites (42Md620, 42Md827, and 42Md828) are located in the northeastern portion of Millard County in western Utah. Sites 42Md828 and 42Md827 are located in semi-stabilized sand dunes along the eastern edge of the Sevier Desert, approximately .95 km south of the Sevier River. Site 42Md620 is located in the Fishlake National Forest at the western base of the...
PALEOENVIRONMENTAL AND SUBSISTENCE INTERPRETATIONS FROM SITE 48CR4ll4, CARBON ,COUNTY, WYOMING (1985)
Site 48CR4ll4 is a shallow multi-component site located to the west of Baggs, Wyoming. The flora in this area is xerophytic and dominated by sagebrush. Two occupational components were identified at the site, based on radiocarbon dates, stratigraphy, and tool types. A radiocarbon age of 4010 ± 160 BP (Beta 11039) was returned for the first component, while ages of 1440 ± 90 BP (Beta 11038) and 1190 ± 60 (Beta 11040) were returned for the second component. Stratigraphic pollen samples were...
