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...

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...
