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...

Antelope Hill (AZ X:8:7 [ASM]) is a well-known archaeological site in the lower Gila River valley. The hill has been used as a quarry for milling implements and many of its boulders are covered in petroglyphs. In response to a 500-year flood event, the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District (WMIDD) proposed to use its quarry at Antelope Hill to supply rock to repair damaged water-control devices along the Gila River. This undertaking required a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of...

The USACE, Louisville District obtained the collection through an archaeological test excavation at the Pine Grove Site, Lake Monroe Reservoir in 1987. Limited excavations at the Pine Grove Site (12MO183) were done by GBL in contract with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Divisions of Reservoirs. A possible Paleoindian component, continuing severe erosion, and the discovery of four pothunter holes prompted the site investigation. The fieldwork was conducted under the supervision...

In 1993, the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office, Arizona State Parks, funded a historic context statement and overview of the state's rock art sites. Desert Archaeology personnel searched through archives for site records, visited libraries to uncover rock art reports, and identified current research topics pertaining to the state's sites. This volume presents the findings of that study. More than 2,300 rock art sites were identified; however, site records were found to vary in quality,...
