Challenging the Village Concept: Bayesian Analysis and Chemical Characterization in the Mogollon Early Pithouse Period of the US Southwest
PROJECT Uploaded by: Lori Barkwill Love

The traditional view of the Mogollon Early Pithouse period (AD 200–700) in southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona is that the introduction of ceramics, an increase in maize use, and pithouses equaled sedentary village formation. More recent research, however, has argued that mobility and foraging remained important strategies throughout the Early Pithouse period. Thus, there are many questions and debates regarding cultural changes that occurred during the Mogollon Early Pithouse...

DOE plans to drill hole U20bb in Area 20 for the purpose of testing at nuclear device. Upon request by DOE, DRI surveyed previously un-surveyed areas within a 1500 foot radius of this hole for cultural resources. Four previously unrecorded archaeological sites were found during this survey, and one previously recorded site was relocated and expanded in size. All but two of these sites were collected during the reconnaissance. The remaining two sites are far enough away from proposed activity...


A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance of Instrumentation Site P-47, Access Road, and Powerline , Tonopah Test Range, Nye County, Nevada (1988)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Ronald L. Reno.

DRI has surveyed the instrumentation pad area, access road, and powerline for the proposed P-47 Instrumentation Site. Two cultural resources need to be avoided, sites 082488RR02 and 08 2488RR08 (Figures 1 and 2) . Details concerning avoiding these sites were discussed with Robert Tyrrell. Since avoidance of the sites is possible, it is recommended that the proposed construction activities proceed.

A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance of the Proposed Expansion of an Explosive Shipping and Receiving Area on the Tonopah Test Range, Nye County, Nevada (1990)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Janis Klimowicz.

A preactivity survey of the proposed expansion of the Sandia National Laboratories explosive shipping and receiving building in area 9 was conducted. This survey was requested to identify any cultural resources that may exist in the proposed expansion area, and to evaluate the potential for adverse effects to those cultural resources resulting from the developmental activities. The area had not been previously surveyed for cultural materials, so the area was subject to a cultural resources...
