The survey and research work conducted at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Recreation Area and Curecanti Recreation Area are clear examples of how meagre beginnings can develop into a fruitful, long-range program designed on the one hand to meet National Park Service management needs, and on the other hand to provide an understanding of an area prehistory following a program designed to answer a series of questions about the culture history and adaptive patterns in a particular area.
The Archeological Survey of Cape Cod National Seashore
This project contains documents, images, and data about the archaeological resources in and around the Cape Cod National Seashore on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In particular these relate to what is known as the "outer Cape," that is, from the vicinity of Chatham, Orleans, and Eastham north to the the Provincelands. Much of the archaeological work covered here is from investigations done by or for the Cape Cod National Seashore. The historic time period, as well as ancient times are covered by...

Archeological Survey of Trail Maintenance, Revegetation, and Prescribed Burn Areas in Bryce Canyon National Park (1992)
During 1988 a survey was conducted of 704 acres along trails and 433 acres of proposed burn areas, covering a total of 1,137 acres (Utah Project #U88-NA-184N). Eight prehistoric sites and seven historic sites were recorded. The prehistoric sites are small- to medium-sized lithic scatters, each of which appears to have resulted from one or several episodes of temporary use. Several characteristics of settlement strategies and lithic material use patterns have been observed in analysis of the...
An Archeological Survey Plan for the Pacific Islands Cluster, Pacific West Region, National Park Service: NPS Systemwide Archeological Inventory Program (2000)
The National Archeological Survey Initiative (NASI) was established to develop a Systemwide archeological Inventory Program (SAIP) which in tum should improve the National Park Service's (NPS) accountability for cultural resources. A plan for the Western Region, now called the Pacific West Region, was published in 1994 (Wells and others 1994). In 1998, the Pacific Islands Cluster archeologist and an archeologist from the Western Archeological and Conservation Center began revision of the plan...
An Archeological Survey Plan for the Western Region of the National Park Service: NPS Systemwide Archeological Inventory Program (1994)

This report documents Midwest Archeological Center fieldwork at the historic Mustill site located at Lock 15 in the Cascade Locks area of the Ohio and Erie Canal in Akron, Ohio. Located in southern Summit County, this area consists of a series of locks that raised the canal’s waters over the height of land separating the Lake Erie and Mississippi basins. Historic research indicates that the Mustill family, originally from England, lived and operated a store at the western side of Lock 15 from...
Archeological Testing at the Miller House Site (11SG1318) Lincoln Home National Historic Site (LIHO), Illinois (2007)
Test excavations at the Miller House site in Lincoln Home National Historic Site (LIHO), were undertaken in response to National Park Service (NPS) plans to restore and reconstruct the house to its original circa 1860 appearance. The scale of the construction is such that there is potential for considerable ground disturbance. This, in an archeological site which historical documentation and small-scale archeological investigations have demonstrated to contain or potentially contain intact...

This investigation was initiated in response to proposed construction and associated ground disturbance at the cottage and between the cottage and the Hoover Library expansion. The purpose of this work was simply to determine whether prehistoric or historic archeological resources...
The Archeology of Gila Cliff Dwellings (1986)
Although Gila Cliff Dwellings has been known for over 100 years, and has been protected as a national monument since 1907, its archeology was never systematically reported. Several years ago, four of the authors of this report (Anderson, Fenner, Morris, and Tesgue) decided to correct this situation, working, as time permitted, with the records and artifacts stored at the monument and in the Western Archeological and Conservation Center. In the final year of report writing, the Southwestern...
Archeology of Pajarito Park, New Mexico (1904)
In the summer of 1896 the writer commenced to investigate the archeology of the plateau between the Jemez mountain range and the Rio Grande in New Mexico. The ethnological significance of this region seemed at that time to have been overlooked, nor has it yet received much attention. The studies then begun have continued intermittently ever since. The first object was to obtain such facts as could be obtained by exploration, photography, and a limited amount of excavation. I hope to be...
The Archeology of the Atomic Bomb: a Submerged Cultural Resources Assessment of the Sunken Fleet of Operation Crossroads at Bikini and Kwaljalein Atoll Lagoons, Republic of the Marshall Islands (1991)
This assessment report compiled by a special team of National Park Service underwater archaeologists sheds light on the historical importance of the sunken ships in Bikini Lagoon. The information provided here will assist the people of Bikini to make informed decisions concerning these sunken ships. I hope that it will also serve to open new areas of interest and increase awareness to inform readers the world over of the importance of events at this historic place.
Architectural Assessment: Fort Verde State Historic Park (1992)
Fort Verde State Historic Park provides a vivid glimpse into post Civil War garrison life on the frontier. Though only four of the Fort buildings remain, staff have achieved a forceful interpretation of the history of the Fort, and, more importantly, a clear and present sense of the soldiers who served a portion of their lives there. The Park is unusual amongst historic site museums in the degree to which aggressive research and documentation is woven through exhibits. The results of this...

Archival Survey Feature or Collection Forms (2012)
These are pdf files of the original survey feature/collection forms. Each survey feature was recorded on a form and assigned a unique number, and, if the feature was collected, that number pertains to the surface collection. Some features have more than one collection, in which case additional feature/collection numbers were assigned. Rarely numbers were subsequently de-assigned, and might then be assigned to a different feature/collection later, but occasionally numbers were not used...
