Las Capas, AZ AA:12:111 (ASM), so named for its deeply stratified deposits, dates primarily to the San Pedro phase of the Early Agricultural period, circa 1200-800 B.C. Later, more sporadic occupation of the site extends from the Cienega phase (800 B.C.-A.D. 50) through the Hohokam sequence and the Protohistoric period. Occupation prior to approximately 2100 B.C. is suggested by several radiocarbon dates on maize found redeposited in younger contexts. Recent excavations at the site and its...

Pilot study of 13 surface and 9 archaeological-context pollen samples from 2 sites in the Black River Ranger District. Analysis suggests a local pollen chronology can be developed from such samples, but paleoecological interpretation would be difficult.

Deposits within the Eagle Point Site (5RB4662), a rockshelter located along Piceance Creek in northwest Colorado, were sampled stratigraphically at close intervals for the purpose of building a detailed paleoenvironmental pollen record for this portion of Colorado. Although the sampling model called for sampling at approximately 2 cm intervals, the intervals collected varied because some levels were obviously unconsolidated and represented a single depositional, non-cultural event. In this...

Archaeobotanic analyses were conducted on samples from deposits at the Eagle Point Site (5RB4662), a rockshelter/overhang located along Piceance Creek in northwest Colorado. This shelter experienced multiple occupations, with radiocarbon ages ranging from 2510 to 1010 BP. The roof/overhang has collapsed; therefore, cultural deposits are exposed and eroding away. Two stratigraphic columns were sampled at close intervals during both the 2004 and 2005 excavations for the purpose of building a...

Samples from midden and privy features at two loci from 5LA2175 in southeast Colorado were examined for pollen, parasites, phytoliths, and macrofloral remains. Locus K consists of a group of 10-12 domestic structures that appear to have been occupied from approximately 1895 to 1914, prior to the Colorado Coal Field War Strike and Ludlow Massacre in 1913-1914. Locus 8 was a domestic occupation area constructed after the strike and was occupied from about 1915 to 1931. Pollen, parasite,...

Five combination pollen and phytolith samples were examined from depths between 97 and 149 cmbud at site 23LE327, situated on an alluvial/colluvial fan along the Mississippi River. Samples were collected from a cultural zone at the site that probably represents occupation no older than approximately 4,500 BP. This preliminary analysis was undertaken to assess whether or not pollen and phytoliths were preserved in sufficient quantity and quality to recommend full stratigraphic analysis for the...

Sites 3CT340 and 3CT341 are part of a large site complex located in eastern Arkansas' Crittenden County. The Late Woodland/Emergent Mississippian prehistoric village sites are located in the southern portion of the project area. Although neither of the sites had large lithic assemblages, several cultural features were identified, including burials at both sites and a cremation pit at site 3CT341. Thirteen pollen samples, ten of which also were examined for parasites, were examined to...

Development of macrophysical climate models was instrumental in creating archaeoclimatic models of past climates for specific locations (Bryson, 1998). Modeled mean temperature and precipitation "by month for each two centuries back to 14,000 years BP" (Bryson, n.d.:1) can be created. In addition, these parameters may be used to generate a "water budget", comparing precipitation and potential evapotranspiration, storm intensity and frequency, snowfall, and other climatic factors....

This chapter presents the results of an analysis of archaeofaunal remains from the 1999 and 2000 excavations at Pueblo Blanco (LA 51). Archaeological investigations by Arizona State University resulted in the recovery of a large, well-preserved faunal assemblage containing over 20,000 identified specimens from early, intermediate, and late period contexts. In this chapter, an overview of the taxonomic composition of the assemblage is first presented and diversity and proportional distributions...

This report presents the results of a Phase 3 data recovery performed at 44PG317 (the Charles Gilliam Site) in Prince George County, Va. (Fig. 1). 44PG317 was discovered in December of 1988 during construction of Route 295 in Prince George County. Phase 2 evaluations indicated that the site was owned and occupied throughout the 19th century by Charles A. Gilliam, a freed mulatto, and his descendants, Mary Ann Gilliam, Susan Gilliam, Henry Gilliam and Maria Gilliam. A number of intact features...

Archaeological data recovery was conducted at the eastern margin of a larger site, AZ EE:9:174 (ASM), by Desert Archaeology, Inc. Four pit structures and 11 extramural features were identified and excavated. No human remains were found. The structures were all structures-in-pits oriented toward the east and the Santa Cruz River. Results from this project were limited because only a small portion of the site was investigated. Ceramic analysis suggested this portion of the site was occupied during...
