Research at site 48LA277 was completed in 1991 as part of an interpretive program at F.E. Warren Air Force Base to provide data to interpret prehistoric cultural resources on the base. Funding was provided through the Department of Defense's Legacy Program. Five excavation units yielded six features, which included a rock-lined basin, two rock-filled hearths, and two basin-shaped areas of highly organic soil. The sixth feature, a concentration of fired rock, was not excavated so that it could...

Archaeological fieldwork was conducted on Block 181, in the historic heart of downtown Tucson, at various times between 2003 and 2006. Work took place before and during the stabilization and restoration of the historic Siqueiros-Jácome House, built in the 1860s and 1870s. Work was also conducted in the backyard of the house and beneath an adjacent parking lot, once the location of the Dodge Boarding House (circa 1898-1954). Hundreds of features were located. Noteworthy were several Early...

Archaeological testing was conducted at site AZ EE:9:91 at Patagonia Lake State Park from 28 through 30 October 1981. This work, done under contract to Arizona State Parks under Arizona State Museum {ASM) permit 81-23, was to supplement similar investigation carried out by ASH personnel at AZ EE:9:91 on 8 and 9 June 1981. The testing crew consisted of Annick George, Carol McCarthy, James Mayberry, and Jon S. Czaplicki. Earlier testing involved backhoe excavation of four trenches to determine...

The UMOM Additional Testing Project is located in Phoenix. The UMOM development project is a multi-phased development project that began in 2009 and involves the acquisition of property, the demolition of existing buildings, and the construction of multi-family housing and associated amenities. The project is on private property, but has received federal funding from Housing and Urban Development (HUD), so the effects of this undertaking on cultural resources have been considered in order to...

This book publishes the results of 220 botanical samples from the 1993–2002 Gordion excavations directed by Mary Voigt. Together with Naomi Miller’s 2010 volume (Gordion Special Studies 5), this book completes the publication of botanical samples from Voigt’s excavations. The book aims to reconstruct agricultural decision making using archaeological and paleoenvironmental data from Gordion to describe environmental and agricultural changes at the site. Different political and economic systems...

One charcoal fragment and two samples labeled “fiber” were recovered from the Be’er Orah Hill Site in Israel, then were submitted for AMS radiocarbon analysis. After radiocarbon dating these samples, two additional samples (one fiber and the other charcoal) were submitted for AMS radiocarbon analysis to assist understanding the discrepancy between the first materials analyzed.

Site 59-73, located in Groton/Mystic, Connecticut in Pequot Woods Park, included multiple middens. Charred botanical material recovered from five of the midden deposits were collected and submitted for AMS radiocarbon analysis. This site has been linked to the Pequot people prior to their split after the Pequot War in 1638. Therefore, it is expected to date to AD 1637.

Two archaeological sites in Rhode Island (19-BR-855 and 19-BR-859) are represented by four charcoal samples submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. Archaeological investigation suggests 19-BR-859 represents a Middle Archaic occupation, while 19-BR-855 represents a Late Archaic or Middle to Late Woodland occupation.

A small dirt sample was submitted from H4 at ACR-2025S1. Charcoal was not readily visible, so the sample was water screened using 150 micron mesh to separate the sediment from the charcoal fragments that were obvious present. Small fragments of Chrysothamnus (rabbitbrush) charcoal (Table 1) were selected and identified prior to radiocarbon dating.

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,...

The Stateline Site (RI 2802) is situated on an elevated rise overlooking Millers River in Cumberland, Rhode Island. The site is a precontact hunting, food processing, and stone tool manufacturing camp. Two radiocarbon dates produced by Beta Analytic (Beta-565363 and Beta-565364) as well as excavated material culture suggest the site was periodically occupied during the Late Archaic, Transitional Archaic, and possibly Late Woodland periods (ca. 5000–500 BP). Two isolated charcoal samples...

Phase III investigations yielded precontact cultural materials from Sites 6 and 7 at the Wyldwyck River Camp, Route 33 in the Town of Saugerties, Ulster County, New York. Diagnostic materials recovered from Site 6 indicate Early-to-Middle Woodland occupations. Cultural components representing Early-to-Middle Woodland periods are evident at Site 7. Two charcoal samples, one from each site, were submitted for AMS radiocarbon analysis to provide temporal context for the sites. A nutting stone and...

The City of Phoenix requested that archaeological work be conducted at the location of the proposed Coral Pointe Apartments Project in Phoenix. The Project is on private property but will receive federal funding so the effects of this undertaking on cultural resources must be considered to comply with section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. According to the City of Phoenix archaeological site files, several prehistoric canals cross the area of potential effect (APE). Although no...
