During the course of the San Xavier Archaeological Project over 18 square miles in the southern Tucson Basin were intensively surveyed. This work resulted in the recording of 150 sites, of which 147 contained components dated to either the prehistoric or protohistoric periods. In a previous study (Altschul and Rose, Statistical Research Technical Series 3) block cluster analysis was used to derive a site classification. Each site with a prehistoric and/or protohistoric component was classified...

This collection is referred to as "Archaeological Survey of Beech Fork Lake 1973-1975.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is six (6) linear inches. The documents date from 1973-1975. The documents were originally lacking a clear discernible order. The documents were originally housed in an acidic folder within an acid-free box with various document collections from the Huntington District. Various documents...

In the Spring of 1994, Statistical Research, Inc., conducted an archaeological study of the Apache scouts at Fort Huachuca. The project was completed under contract with Fort Huachuca and funded by a Legacy Resource Management Program grant awarded to Fort Huachuca by the Department of Defense. Most of the investigations focused on AZ EE:7:115 (ASM), a site comprising three distinct components: (1) a small, Formative- period prehistoric component; (2) a turn-of-the-century trash dump; and (3)...

The Center for Anthropological Studies completed an intensive archaeological survey of 3,789 acres of Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. A total of 305 artifacts were recovered from 282 isolated artifactual loci; and 15 archaeological sites were located, recorded and artifactually sampled. Two of these sites are provisionally assigned to the Archaic period (5000 B.C. - A.D. 1). One or them is a functionally specific site where lithic materials were collected and tool manufacturing was...

An archaeological survey of 390 acres of Kirtland Air Force Base was undertaken and completed by the Center for Anthropological Studies. Thirteen isolated loci produced 18 prehistoric artifacts. Six archaeological sites were located, recorded, and partially collected. One site is assigned to the Rio Grande Coalition Period (A.D. 1200-1325), and represents a temporary encampment. The five historic sites relate to early twentieth century (1900-1930's) mining and ranching activities.

The Center for Anthropological Studies has just completed an intensive archaeological survey of 256 acres of Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. Twenty-eight prehistoric and historic artifacts were recorded and collected from 27 isolated loci. Two historic sites of the early twentieth century include a possible field boundary or livestock enclosure and a 1916 mining claim marker. The prehistoric archaeological resources of the project area indicate usage for lithic tool manufacture and...

Site Report for LA 57430. Previously described as a 70 x 25 m burned caliche and lithic scatter with one feature. Site LA 57430 was originally documented as occurring on a level alluvial plain with a two-track road and cattle trails running through it. But, LA 57430 could not be located with the present day investigation, so therefore the eligibility of this site for the NRHP remains undetermined.

This document presents the results of data recovery investigations at CA-KER-140, a siliceous quarry in the Fremont Valley of the western Mojave Desert. These investigations involved two major research goals. The first goal was to better understand how the quarry was used, and what its role was in the prehistoric adaptive system of the valley. The second goal had to do with assessing a recently introduced dating technique, rock varnish cation-ratio analyses. The data indicate that CA-KER-140...
