Their utility in historical archaeology has long been acknowledged but rarely exploited. This paper will report on the creation of a dataset of 55,000 items sourced from illustrated catalogues and price lists of major Australian,...

Crow-Flies-High was a late 19th century Hidatsa Indian village located on the Missouri River near Newtown, North Dakota. In terms of archeology it was very recent in origin, almost modern. Yet by 1952 it was almost reduced to a legend. In that year there remained two cabin depressions and three cache pits. It had almost been obliterated after many years of plowing and cultivation during the present century. One small depression about 8 feet in diameter marked the location of a single earthlodge...

His was a far-sighted vision, one which was not fully appreciated until many years after his death. On September 30, 1952, President Harry S. Truman, before a crowd of 10,000 people, set off a blast marking...
