Multiple archaeological sites located within the boundaries of the Camp Guernsey Installation provided ceramics, lithics, and sediment sample for pollen, phytolith, starch, protein, and/or macrofloral analysis, and/or for infrared analysis of organic chemicals and/or XRF analysis of elements (Table 1). Obsidian flakes submitted from three sites were sourced using XRF elemental analysis. Charcoal identified from three locations was AMS radiocarbon dated.
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSES, AND CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION OF SAMPLES FROM THE HOLMES DRAW SITE, 48CA2834, SCHOOL CREEK MINE, WYOMING (2013)
The Holmes Draw Site, 48CA2834, is a lithic scatter and campsite located on private land on the east and west sides of Holmes Draw drainage in Campbell County, Wyoming, that was excavated over a period of years. A single sediment sample collected from a living surface observed at the site was examined for pollen and phytoliths to identify economic activity on the surface. A mano was submitted for pollen, phytolith, and starch analyses to identify plant resources processed with this tool, and an...

POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH, MACROFLORAL, PROTEIN, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSES AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SAMPLES FROM SITES LA 124525 AND LA 161918, NEW MEXICO (2013)
Two sites (LA 161918 and LA 124525) are located on the East Mine property of Intrepid-Potash in southeast New Mexico and reflect Jornada Mogollon occupations. Site LA 124525 may also contain an Early to Middle Archaic (4000 to 2500 B.C.) component. A single lithic scraper from LA 161918 was washed to recover possible protein residues on the tool’s surface to indicate the animal or animals processed with the scraper. Fill samples from six stain features at site LA 124525 were submitted for...

POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE LEWIS AND CLARK LOWER PORTAGE CAMP, SITE 24CH293, MONTANA (2001)
Four fire features, an ashy layer, and an area of possible cooking pot spill from various units at the Lewis and Clark Lower Portage Camp, site 24CH293, near Great Falls, Montana, were examined for pollen, starch granules, phytoliths, and macrofloral remains. These analyses will provide a record of vegetation and possibly indicate food resources utilized by the expedition at this camp. Additional fill from two of the features thought to be related to the Lewis and Clark Lower Portage Camp...
POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF HAND MILLINGSTONES FROM SITE CA-PLA-163 (2001)
Three hand millingstones from CA-Pla-163 in the Squaw Valley, California, were submitted for pollen, phytolith, protein residue, and x-ray mineral defraction analysis. All three pieces exhibited red staining. One of the millingstones was associated with a subsurface rock hearth or oven feature. Radiocarbon ages of 430 ± 40 BP (calibrated to AD 1420 to 1510 or AD 1600 to 1620) and 840 ± 40 BP (calibrated to AD 1040 to 1260) were returned for charcoal in close proximity to this millingstone....
POLLEN, STARCH, PARASITE, PHYTOLITH, MACROFLORAL, PROTEIN RESIDUE, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSES AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF A COPROLITE FROM THE EAGLE POINT SHELTER (5RB4662), RIO BLANCO COUNTY, COLORADO (2012)

A Popular Spot: Four Thousand Years of Occupation at the Battle Spring West Site (48SW16604) In the Great Divide Basin, Wyoming (2013)
Excavations for the Ur-Energy Lost Creek Project at the Battle Spring West site yielded remains from multiple occupations extending from the Opal phase through Uinta phase. The excavation data did not reveal evidence of longterm occupation, such as structural elements or semi-permanent, immovable processing tools such as large ground stone implements. Taken as a whole, the site assemblage suggests the archaeological remains are the result of hunting-related activities including camping, tool...

At the request of the Department of Justice and Dr. Francis P. McManamon, Departmental Consulting Archaeologist of the National Park Service, Department of the Interior, the authors discuss the potential for DNA analysis of the human skeletal remains from Kennewick, Washington that are the objects of the lawsuit now pending (Bonnichsen et al., vs. United States of America, Civil No. 9601481-JE). The purpose of such an analysis would be to determine the genetic affinity of the above individual by...
Pottery type images for the western Tabasco Coastal Plain (2008)
This set of images documents common ceramics types found at La Venta, Tabasco. The examples here were recovered from San Andrés (Barí 1), a subsidiary elite community in the Lower La Venta area of the flood plain. The ceramics at San Andrés demonstrate a range of states from refired and eroded to well-preserved. The type images presented here are of generally well-preserved examples. These types are defined in my dissertation (von Nagy 2003), and will receive full treatment in a forth coming...
Prehispanic Environmental Impact in the Mimbres Region, Southwestern New Mexico (2005)
Prehispanic settlements often had archaeologically visible impacts on their surrounding environments, including changes in local plant communities that affected the presence and abundance of both plant and animal species. Here, data from sites in the Mimbres region of southwestern New Mexico are used to identify evidence for such impacts around habitation sites, and to investigate four factors (site size, elevation, water availability, and occupational history) that influence the degree of...

Prehistoric Irrigation in Arizona: Symposium 1988 (1991)
Studies of Hohokam irrigation systems undertaken in the past 5 to 10 years, particularly in the Phoenix Basin, have provided a wealth of new data to be studied and assimilated by archaeologists. Recently completed and ongoing projects have required archaeologists to ask new questions and to apply a variety of investigative techniques to better understand the complexities of Hohokam irrigation systems. It is important that archaeologists studying Hohokam irrigation systems evaluate the increasing...
