Monte Verde I, located in south-central Chile, has produced radiocarbon dates indicating pre-Clovis occupation. Dates concurrent with occupational surface artifacts and features at MVII, including lithic, non-lithic artifacts, architectural remains, and spatial patterning, indicate site occupation approximately 14,600 to 14,200 years Cal BP (Dillehay, et al. 2008:784). Excavations at MV-I have produced dates ranging from 16,000 ± 60 to 9320 ± 40 BP. Noncultural levels have been dated between...

Sheep Rock Spring (24JF292) is a deeply stratified Middle to Early Precontact occupation site located northeast of Whitehall in Jefferson County, Montana. This stratified alluvial/colluvial locality is situated on the southeast-facing slope of Bull Mountain near Sheep Rock Spring in the Sheep Creek Valley. The spring is currently used as a water source for cattle. The existing radiocarbon chronology on bone indicates that the zone of fluctuating water table has introduced contaminants (Wilson...

Two pieces of bone from site 25FT376 were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. This site reflects a remnant of a Holocene terrace on an island in Hugh Butler Lake (Red Willow Lake) in Frontier County, Nebraska. This island is usually under water in the reservoir, but has been exposed during draw-down of the reservoir for repairs to Red Willow Dam. The island surface contains a scatter of bison bone, chipped stone tools, and lithic debitage. Site 25FT376 is believed to reflect an Early Archaic,...

Three bone fragments from Site CA-SDI-1313/14791 were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. This site is located on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in northern San Diego County, southern California. These bone fragments are expected to date between 6800-3000 BP. Sufficient collagen was recovered from only one of the bone fragments; therefore, an additional three bone samples were submitted. A total of four dates were obtained.

Bone fragments collected from sites HdSd-70 and HdSd-370 were recovered during the Williston Reservoir Archaeology Project - 1301, British Columbia, Canada. Sites HdSd-70 and HdSd-370 are in close proximity to one another along an old river channel in the semi-eroded reservoir drawdown zone. The bone at these sites consisted of isolated and restricted surface and subsurface scatters at the edge of the channel. Dates from these samples are expected to fall in the mid- to late-Holocene.

Three bison bone samples and two pieces of charcoal were submitted from the Wahkpa Chu’gn bison kill site (24HL0101) in north-central Montana. One bone sample was recovered from a large fire-cracked rock feature found in Area E. Two charcoal samples and two bison bone samples were recovered from Display House #5, the westernmost display area, in Area D. The earliest occupation appears to have been the Besant Complex around 2000-1500 BP. There was a short occupation by the Avonlea Complex,...

In late August, 1988, Archaeological Research Services, Inc. (ARS) performed a cultural resources survey on lands of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community for the Arizona Department of Transportation. The survey was undertaken for a project involving the construction of turn lanes. The project area encompassed a 4700 ft x 67 ft construction right-of-way adjacent to the northern edge of SR 87. Five prehistoric habitation sites and one prehistoric canal were identified within the...

Cathy Johnson of Arizona State Parks asked Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) to analyze historic material recovered from salvage excavations at the Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park (AZ X:6:90(ASM)), which was used from 1876 to 1909. The artifacts were unexpectedly encountered during the demolition of a deteriorating adobe wall. This wall will be replaced by a reproduction of the original 18-ft walls that enclosed the old prison yard. Most of the artifacts were recovered...

At the request of the Salt River Project, the Museum of Northern Arizona has inspected a series of coal exploration drill site locations on state and private lands in eastern Arizona and western New Mexico. A total of three archaeological sites was recorded during the course of the investigations. No archaeological materials are present on staked locations and access routes, although one drill site location and one access route were moved to avoid archaeological sites. Archaeological clearance...

The Southwest Germann site is among the largest of prehistoric Hohokam settlements in the Queen Creek area. The Rohrig Substation property is located at its southwestern edge and overlaps a previously unreported habitation locus. Archaeological testing (Phase 1 data recovery) at the substation documented the presence of adobe-walled rooms, puddling pits, and trash deposits that were probably contained within an adobe-walled compound on the easternmost side of the Rohrig property. Salt River...

Catalina State Park is situated approximately 22 km (14 miles) north of Tucson, Arizona. Within this beautiful and pristine desert area lie a large number of relatively undisturbed archaeological sites. The park has witnessed a long and varied history. Sometime after 5000 B.C. Archaic period hunters and gatherers first roamed through the park area in their search for game and edible plants. During the following Hohokam period the park area was intensively occupied. A wide range of sites are...
