Photographs (1985)
Photographs are one of the few remaining ways to examine the now inundated archaeological sites in the DAP. Photographic images add context to specific aspects of Anasazi life in the DAP area; in a sense, DAP photography "provides the investigator with ways to understand the spatial integration of households and communities" (Wilshusen et al. 1999:115). Only a fraction of all photographs taken during the project can be found in the published series of DAP reports. Individuals wishing to access...
Phyllis Pueblo (LA 45160) - Unit 101-102 Summary (2009)
Units 101 and 102 represent a room suite located in the northwest portion of Phyllis Pueblo. Unit 101 is a rectangular room situated west of and connected by a doorway with a room referred to as Unit 102. A single (perhaps spine-) wall running east-west serves as the south wall for both Unit 101 and Unit 102. A second apparent spine-wall, four meters north of and parallel to the first, serves as the north wall of both rooms. Three shorter walls, each running north-south between the two spine...
