Two of the sites, AZ U:10:2(ASM) and AZ U:14:74(ASM), have been previously determined NRHP eligible based on their potential to inform on the prehistory of the region, but...
A Review of Cape Cod Archaeology (1957)
Although Indian artifacts in large numbers have been found on Cape Cod, information on the circumstance and chronological order attending the original distribution of these artifacts is somewhat limited and uneven. Little evidence is available from excavations on the upper or east-west part of the Cape, save for one report dealing with a series of relatively late shell heaps. The lower or north-south portion of the peninsula, however, is fairly adequately known. This paper is based, therefore,...

A Review of Human and Natural Changes in Maya Lowlands Wetlands Over the Holocene
In the Maya Lowlands of Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala two main types of wetlands have played important roles in human history: bajos or intermittently wet environments of the upland, interior Yucatán and perennial wetlands of the coastal plains. Many of the most important Maya sites encircle the bajos, though our growing evidence for human-wetland interactions is still sparse. The deposits of these wetlands record two main eras of slope instability and wetland aggradation: the...

Rincon Phase Decorated Ceramics in the Tuscon Basin: A Focus on the West Branch Site (1986)
Archaeological investigations at the West Branch Site (AZ AA:16:3) produced over 5,000 sherds and re-constructible vessels of Rincon Red-on-brown. A numerical seriation of controlled, unmixed contexts reported in a companion volume (Wallace 19 86a) demonstrated the utility of a division of Rincon Red- on-brown into three subtypes. In this study, the three subtypes, Early, Middle, and Late Rincon Red-on-brown, are described and illustrated with special reference to the West Branch and Valencia...

This project uncovered a cluster of five pithouses and 36 related extramural features that date to the transition between the Middle and Late Rincon subphases in the Tucson Basin Hohokam chronology, about A.D 1070 to 1150. The cluster of pithouses is probably part of a larger house group arranged...
