Photographs are one of the few remaining ways to examine the now inundated archaeological sites in the DAP. Photographic images add context to specific aspects of Anasazi life in the DAP area; in a sense, DAP photography "provides the investigator with ways to understand the spatial integration of households and communities" (Wilshusen et al. 1999:115). Only a fraction of all photographs taken during the project can be found in the published series of DAP reports. Individuals wishing to access...

Units 101 and 102 represent a room suite located in the northwest portion of Phyllis Pueblo. Unit 101 is a rectangular room situated west of and connected by a doorway with a room referred to as Unit 102. A single (perhaps spine-) wall running east-west serves as the south wall for both Unit 101 and Unit 102. A second apparent spine-wall, four meters north of and parallel to the first, serves as the north wall of both rooms. Three shorter walls, each running north-south between the two spine...

Unit 103 is a room located in the northwestern area of Phyllis Pueblo. The unit was encountered beneath a later occupation (Units 101 and 102). Unit 103 was built on the northwest side of Phyllis Pueblo, upon a surface that has a slight downwards slope to the southwest.

Unit 201 is located in pueblo room at Phyllis Pueblo (LA45160). The site is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwest New Mexico. Based on extant ceramics and other temporally diagnostic artifacts (Floor Znd subsurface), the immediate area appears to have hosted occupations between the late seventh and early twenty-first centuries. This time frame includes the Late Postclassic period (ca. A.D. 1300-1450), a primary focus of the Mogollon Prehistoric Landscapes...

The Phyllis Pueblo site (LA45160) is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwestern New Mexico. Unit 202 is located in the east-central portion of the site, where deposits appear to be highest and prehistoric architecture is partially overlain by an historic structure. The unit contains at least four separate occupations (Z, A, B, and C), with Z being the lowest (i.e., earliest) and C being the highest (i.e., latest). Each has a distinct floor and, ostensibly,...

The Phyllis Pueblo site (LA45160) is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwestern New Mexico. Unit 202 is located in the east-central portion of the site and was first excavated in 2009. An unexpected number of superimposed floors and corresponding walls were encountered. Excavation resumed the following year in order to better understand the relationship between these walls, floors, and associated artifacts. Within and adjacent to Unit 202, we encountered...

The Phyllis Pueblo site (LA45160) is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwestern New Mexico. Unit 204 was identified in 2009 during excavations in the adjacent room of Unit 202. The former is immediately east of the latter and they appear to have shared a common wall throughout most, if not all, occupations. In 2010, additional excavation was undertaken in the southern section of Phyllis Pueblo. This continued research was designed to answer questions about...

Uncharred plant stem fragments from a shipwreck were submitted for phytolith analysis to determine if this material represents grass, sedge, or other plants that produce phytoliths/biogenic silica. The stem fragments are believed to have been used for packing cargo. A portion of the stem material was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating to provide temporal information.

Ten phytolith samples were examined from a Jefferson-era layer in an area believed to be associated with a clump of ornamental trees and bushes planted in 1812 at the northeast corner of the octagonal house located at Poplar Forest plantation in Forest, Virginia. An oval flower bed planted with dwarf roses was established nearby. Four additional phytolith samples were taken from features directly associated with the ornamental tree clump and flower bed. For this study, phytolith analysis was...

Three charred maize cobs and two maize cupule fragment samples from various pit contexts were submitted for phytolith analysis from the site of Las Capas (AZ AA:12:111), which is located near Tucson, Arizona (Table 1). Strata associated with Features 504 and 505 at Las Capas have calibrated age ranges of 950-800 BC and 1000-900 BC respectively, placing the site within the San Pedro Phase Early Agriculture period. The main goal of this analysis was to quantify phytolith recovery from charred cob...

Site LA 175601, located along Salado Draw in Lea County, New Mexico, is a short-term plant processing site believed to have been used to procure plant resources locally. Fill from two thermal features were submitted for phytolith and macrofloral analyses to address questions of resource processing. Charcoal recovered from the macrofloral samples was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. Results from the phytolith and macrofloral analyses, as well as radiocarbon dates, will be applied to the...

Site LA 180543 is located south of Brantley Lake and northwest of Carlsbad in Eddy County, New Mexico. A charcoal fragment collected from a small basin-shaped simple feature containing burned limestone was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. Three additional sediment samples from the feature were submitted for phytolith and macrofloral analysis.

A rock ring midden site, LA 178961, is situated on a small bench overlooking Boyds Canyon and Spring Draw, within the foothills west of Carlsbad in Eddy County, New Mexico. Three of four deflated ring middens noted at this site have been impacted by a two track road and rancher water line (Rebecca Hill, personal communication July 8, 2014). Three soil samples, collected from two different features, were submitted for phytolith, starch, and macrofloral analysis. Although pollen analysis was not...

Site 42DA2026 consists of a few storage features built in a rock fall under a rock shelter above the Green River in Daggett County, Utah. An uncharred corn cob recovered from the wall near the top of Feature 2 was submitted for AMS radiocarbon age determination to ascertain the period of use. Additionally, examination of the morphometric phytolith signature and comparison with other cob signatures was requested for this cob.

Samples from stone rings at sites 32OL551 and 32OL552 in west-central North Dakota were examined for phytoliths and macrofloral remains to determine that plant resources were utilized by the occupants of these sites. Microscopic charcoal was extracted from the stone ring sediments and submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating, yielding three radiocarbon dates. Lithic tools from the stone rings at 32OL551 also were examined for protein residues to provide information concerning animals that may have...

The Valentine Cache #3 Site (05-01-53-377), located in southwestern Los Angeles County, California, consists of five granitic stone circular features. These features are believed to be associated with caching activities, possibly acorn harvesting. Two soil samples from the center of one of the rock ring features (Feature B, Quadrant 2) were submitted for phytolith, starch, and macrofloral analyses to identify plants associated with function, type, and method of construction for these features,...

A nearly complete Shoshone Intermountain Ware flat-bottomed jar from site 10TF2130, located in the Auger Falls locality along the Snake River in Twin Falls, Idaho, was inverted on a large Bonneville Flood boulder supported by two natural rock spalls and a large percussion flake. A polished stone was noted downhill from the vessel beneath a boulder. Four small interior pottery sherd fragments exfoliated from this vessel were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating and phytolith, starch, and organic...
