PROJECT Charles C. Di Peso.

CASAS GRANDES, a three-volume set, is the fascinating narrative of the monumental excavation and research which have been accomplished by The Amerind Foundation over the past fifteen years. Dr. Charles Di Peso and his colleagues have proposed new and unique theories concerning the people of the Gran Chichimeca and the development, dissemination and decline of their cultures. This massive publication, documenting one of the most significant of archaeological investigations, will be a landmark of...

During the course of excavations a total of 885 bone artifacts was recovered. Four (0.5%) of these were in Viejo Period association, 877 (99.1%) belonged to the Medio Period, and four (0.5%) to the San Antonio Phase of the Espafioles Period. All of the Viejo Period specimens were utilitarian implements and included a plaiting tool, a coarse coil basketry awl, and two other awls with broken tips. These were simply made, undecorated items- three were splinter tools and one was a split grooved...

From 1978 until 1985 the University of Colorado contracted with the Bureau of Reclamation (Contract No. 8-07-40-S0562) to mitigate the adverse impact of a large water impoundment project on the cultural resources in the project area. This complex and evolving long-term mitigation plan known as the Dolores Archaeological Program (DAP) has been called a “truly unique chapter in American archaeology” (Breternitz 1993:118) and was applauded by Lipe (1998:2) for its ability to “increase the power and...

This article describes the continued experiment of grain storage in Iron Age pits and updates the information given in the article from 1967, which was published in the 86th volume of the same journal.

The article describes the first attempts of experimental archaeology projects in Iron Age agriculture in the context of the Butser Ancient Farm Research Project in 1967. The experiments concerned the whole agriculture cycle from sowing out the seeds to the storage possibilities in pits over the winter. The experiments opened the discussion of climate and work processes in agriculture. The experimentalists faced climate changes, mold, analysed the CO2 concentrations in order to finalized their...

This document describes the construction of an Iron Age Hut at the Avoncroft Museum. It confronts issues of material choice and construction mistakes while building the hut. Theories of locations and surroundings such as fires and agriculture were formed during the project.

Reynolds opens the debate towards experimental archaeology as a science which was long ignored by archaeologists. A working Iron Age farm, dated to 300 BC and a Roman Villa are described as projects in this book. The constructors were confronted with climate extremes in Britain and trails to material. The experiments force the participants to rethink, reevaluate, and recreate their tests and trails. The farms included also agricultural experiments, such as grain storage. Concluding P.J....

The aim of this paper is to explain the principles of the storage of grain in underground pits and to present an interim summary of the results so far obtained from a long-term series of grain storage experiments and their implications. At the outset it must be made clear that the trends indicated by the results are, in fact, trends and that the implications presented are to be considered accordingly. A major problem that besets any experimental research programme, especially in the field of...
