Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) monitored the excavation of an 11.73 mi (18.88 km) long trench for the El Paso Natural Gas (EPNG) pipeline in the cities of Mesa, Tempe, and Chandler. Archaeological monitoring was recommended because of the likelihood of crosscutting prehistoric irrigation canals and the close proximity of Alta Vista, a prehistoric Hohokam habitation site (AZ U:9:48 (ASM)). The monitoring was conducted in order to document these cultural resources when they became...

Previous pollen analysis of a sample associated with a burial from site 41HY163 in south-central Texas yielded possible evidence of Zea mays pollen. Because the identification was tentative, an additional soil sample was submitted to PaleoResearch Institute for testing. Pollen and phytolith analyses were conducted for the specific purpose of finding any evidence for the presence of Zea mays or to find pollen types that might be confused with Zea mays. After completion of the pollen and phytolith...

Two sites in Ventura County, California were sampled for pollen, phytoliths, protein residue, and macrofloral remains. Site CA-VEN-477 appears to have been occupied during the Middle to Late Period (after 1000 B.C.), and was situated on a low knoll overlooking a drainage at the mouth of a canyon. Two pollen, two phytolith, two protein residue, and four macrofloral samples were examined from this site. Pollen, phytolith, and protein residue samples were examined from the wash of a mano and an...
