Between April 1994 and August 1995, an intensive Class III Cultural Resources Survey, involving intensive pedestrian survey and field testing at four sites, investigated approximately 15,000 acres on the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) grounds and on the Farish Memorial Recreation Area. This represents a complete cultural resources survey of USAFA south of Jack's Valley (which was surveyed in 1992). This report combines the results of two previous preliminary reports (Arbogast et al....

The following report presents the results of archaeological testing and data recovery at the Houghton Road site (AZ BB:13:398 [ASM]). These investigations provide important new insights into a virtually unknown time in Tucson Basin prehistory. The Houghton Road site represents a seasonally or semipermanently occupied hamlet that dates primarily to the Plain Ware horizon, the first period of Formative culture in southern Arizona. Excavations at the Houghton Road Site (AZ BB:13:398) add to the...

Archaeological data recovery was undertaken by Statistical Research, Inc., at the site of El Macayo (AZ EE:9:107 [ASM]), a prehistoric village located on land occupied by the Santa Cruz County Complex in Nogales, Arizona. Fieldwork was conducted by a crew of four archaeologists and a physical anthropologist under the direction of William L. Deaver between April 16 and May 23, 1996. By the end of 28 days of fieldwork, 177 features had been exposed, identified, and mapped. Of these 177 features,...

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...

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 Westfall site (46PU282) is a multi-component precontact site situated on a series of elevated terraces overlooking the Kanawha River in the unincorporated community of Black Betsy, Putnam County, West Virginia. Phase II and III investigations identified features, fire cracked rock (FCR), and both diagnostic and non-diagnostic ceramics and lithics, suggesting an intermittent occupational sequence spanning the Middle Archaic to Late Woodland periods (ca. 6000 BC–AD 1000, per client...

The goals of the 1992 fieldwork at F. E. Warren Air Force Base (AFB) were to: (1) determine the extent of the buried portion of site 48LA277 to the south; (2) expand samples of diagnostics, tools, and subsistence remains at 48LA277; and (3) examine locales geomorphologically similar to 48LA277 to determine whether similar areas were used in similar ways. The southern extent of 48LA277 was explored with two backhoe trenches. Four additional buried features were located at the north end of Trench...

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.

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.
