This report presents the results of archaeological excavations undertaken as part of a land exchange between Pima County and Magna Investment and Development, Ltd. A portion of this right-of-way included a prehistoric archaeological site known as Milagro (AZ BB:10:46), parts of which had been investigated previously. Pima County indicated that prior to completion of the land exchange, archaeological investigations must be performed along the route of a proposed sewer line, and the cutting of a...

Kirtland Air Force Base is the location of abundant archaeological sites found in the Manzanita Mountains and lower slopes east of the Rio Grande. The goal in this study is the development of a geoarchaeologic model identifying the depositional units of Quaternary age at Kirtland Air Force Base that may preserve buried cultural deposits. The model utilizes the geologic mapping results from previous studies and identifies additional Quaternary units in areas where this information was missing....

This report presents the results of a two-phase evaluation of erosion hazards and the need for stabilization of prehistoric archaeological sites on Kirtland Air Force Base. Phase I consisted of the evaluation of erosion vulnerability of specific, previously-identified sites located within alluvial environments on the base (e.g., within the drainages of Tijeras Arroyo and Arroyo del Coyote). Based on this evaluation, ten sites were selected for field revisits and evaluation. These sites include...

In August, 1990, archaeologists from Desert Archaeology, Inc. monitored the excavation of a water pipeline trench through the northeastern edge of a multiple-occupation archaeological site sitting upon and buried within an alluvial fan at the western edge of the Santa Cruz River terrace. Several prehistoric cultural features in a buried occupation horizon were identified. Mesquite wood charcoal from the floor of a pithouse yielded a conventional radiocarbon date of 3040 ± 1 1 0 B.P. (radiocarbon...

PaleoWest Archaeology was contracted to conduct data recovery in advance of the development of a new medical building on St. Luke’s campus. Limited archaeological data recovery was conducted in the project area because of the presence of prehistoric features and the possibility of human remains existing in the area. The parcel is within the boundaries of a large prehistoric site known as La Ciudad (AZ T:12:1[ASM]). The data recovery project included the excavation of 100 m of trench and...

Site 48CO1409, Converse County, Wyoming, contains six stone circles/tipi rings with limited chipped-stone artifacts and a small dart point. The upland site is situated among eroded hills that provide the necessary materials for tipi ring construction along the South Fork Dry Fork Cheyenne River (dry) (John Greer, personal communication June 15, 2015). Core 4, Ring 1, demonstrated a buried charcoal/ash layer at 10–14 cmbs. A sample recovered from this cored layer was submitted for macrofloral...

Sites 5LA03200, 5LA05698, 5LA10858, 5LA03384, and 5LA04399 are located within the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site (PCMS) in Las Animas County, southeastern Colorado. Seven features encountered at these sites were sampled for macrofloral analysis (nine samples) and charcoal identification (three samples), to recover and identify charred floral remains and charcoal, indicating food and fuel related activities of prehistoric occupants of this region. Radiocarbon analysis was requested for suitable...

Samples from the fill of two fire-cracked rock features at site 45LE116 in southwest Washington were examined for macrofloral remains. Four samples from midden matrix at this site were submitted for identification and/or AMS radiocarbon dating. This site was examined as part of the Centralia-Chehalis Flood Damage Reduction Project Archaeological Survey. Three radiocarbon dates were obtained from two charred bark samples and one charcoal sample.

Fill from a hearth at site 48CO3483 in east-central Wyoming was floated to recover charred macrofloral remains. The hearth was the only feature noted at the site, and an end scraper was noted about 46 feet from the hearth. Macrofloral analysis was used to provide subsistence information concerning plant resources processed in the hearth and to identify the best material for AMS radiocarbon dating. An AMS radiocarbon date was obtained on charred material from the hearth fill to provide temporal...

Macrofloral Analysis from the SAWS Project, New Mexico: Macrofloral samples were collected and analyzed from features at four sites and an isolated occurrence on the SAWS Project, located on the north west side of the Oscura Mountains in southeastern New Mexico. Analysis of charred remains from these features focused on recovery of interpretable evidence of subsistence activities. Macrofloral and Charcoal Analysis at LA 75160 near Roswell, New Mexico: Site LA 75160 is located...

Samples from an Upper Republican house (House 4) at Site 25FT22 in southwest Nebraska were examined for charred macrofloral remains. This site contained Upper Republican habitation features and midden deposits. Macrofloral analysis is used to provide information concerning plant resources available to and utilized by the occupants of the house. This information will help contribute to the understanding of the Upper Republican lifeways in the Medicine Creek valley.

Site CM-1 lies in the Western Mojave Desert subregion northwest of California City in Kern County, California. A hearth exposed during RE Cinco Solar Project construction grading activities in the area yielded numerous fire-affected rocks, charcoal, one mano fragment, ochre, a bone fragment, one charred or uncharred juniper (Juniperus) seed and several lithics, including an obsidian flake (Christopher Duran, personal communication June 24, 2015). Sediment samples were collected in and around the...

Site 48CO3669 (Project locality 7614-1) represents a hearth located about 44 miles north of Douglas in Converse County, Wyoming. Four non-diagnostic lithics also were recovered at this locality. Soil from two 1 inch diameter cores, collected from a hearth feature, was submitted to recover charcoal suitable for AMS radiocarbon dating. Charcoal from this locality is expected to date between 5000 and 500 years BP (John Greer, personal communication March 31, 2015). Additional feature fill was...

Samples from units in three excavation blocks at site 45FS2075 in northeast Washington were examined for charcoal and other macrofloral remains. This site appears to represent pre-contact through contact period occupations. The excavation blocks contained several diffuse hearths consisting of concentrations of fire-cracked rock and bone. Charcoal or charred botanic remains from 34 samples were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. In addition, six lithic artifacts were sampled for protein...

The Mandeville Site (9CY1) 1959-1962 collection has its origins in a 1958 Smithsonian Institution survey of the Chattahoochee River basin in preparation for the construction of dams which resulted in the Walter F. George Reservoir. This survey identified Mandeville (9CY1) as the highest priority site found at that time. Excavations at Mandeville (9CY1) took place in 1959 under the direction of Principal Investigator James H. Kellar of the University of Georgia. He was assisted in the field by...
