Results of Testing Along The EPNG 2039 Line, Southwest Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona (1999)
In June 1999, Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) surveyed approximately 234 acres of private land for the proposed El Paso Natural Gas Company (EPNG) 2039 pipeline relocation/removal project. AZ T:12:116(ASM}—a previously recorded Hohokam site also known as Pueblo del Rio—was located within the proposed area of impact. ACS concluded that as the site’s integrity and ability to contribute important information about the area’s prehistory were unknown; testing was necessary to evaluate...
Rethinking Palisades in the Northeast: Evidence from the Eaton Site (2012)
Eaton is a multicomponent site located in western New York. The major component consists of an Iroquoian village dating to the mid-sixteenth century. There is a high ratio of expedient lithic tools to debitage in the area of the palisade. We explore possible explanations for this distribution and discuss the implications for the construction and maintenance of a palisade.

This document is an independent review of the ten page DOI draft research design that details the structured approach to be followed in the analysis and interpretation of human remains recovered from the Columbia River near Kennewick, Washington. This review addresses three general topics: (1) an analysis of the general approach and procedures described in the document considering whether these are logical, scientifically sound, and likely to produce information needed to make reasonable...
Review Draft: Archaeological Test Excavations at Seven Sites along the Santan Expansion Project Pipeline Corridor from Gilbert to Coolidge, Maricopa and Pinal Counties, Arizona (2003)
Northland Research, Inc. (Northland) has completed archaeological testing at seven sites along a proposed natural-gas pipeline at the request of the Salt River Project (SRP). The purpose of the testing was to determine the extent and eligibility status of the seven sites for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). 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 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...

Excavations were conducted to either provide basic data for planned reconstructions, or to...
RITUAL DIVERSITY AND SOCIAL IDENTITIES: A STUDY OF MORTUARY BEHAVIORS AT TEOTIHUACAN (2009)
The research presented here confronts the issue of ritual variation and its role in structuring the social dynamics of ancient Teotihuacan, a state that dominated central Mexico during the first half-millennium A.D. Most of Teotihuacan’s urban population lived in apartment compounds located across the city, but the nature of these co-residing groups is not well understood. Even less is known about how subordinate settlements beyond the city limits were organized and to what degree they...

River Basin Surveys Papers, No. 14: Six Sites Near the Chattahoochee River in the Jim Woodruff Reservoir Area, Florida (1958)
In the fall of 1952, construction of the Jim Woodruff Dam in northwest Florida approached the stage when water would be impounded and Indian sites flooded (map 9). Negotiations were started between the National Park Service and the Florida State Museum, University of Florida, with a view to salvaging archeological data within the State of Florida. In April1953, contract 14-10-0100-134 was signed, under which the work covered by this report was completed. Reports by Joseph R. Caldwell and Carl F....
River Basin Surveys Papers, No. 18: Fort Pierre II (39ST217), a Historic Trading Post in the Oahe Dam Area South Dakota (1960)
From time to time since the establishment of the Missouri Basin Project of the River Basin Surveys, as funds and personnel were available, in addition to studies of native sites the Project has given attention to sites of White origin in areas to be flooded. Less numerous than native sites (both prehistoric and historic) in these areas, the White sites-fur-trade posts, military posts, and the like have also been carefully studied, with actual excavation in certain instances, inasmuch as they...
River Basin Surveys Papers, No. 21: Excavations at Texarkana Reservoir, Sulphur River, Texas (1961)
During the period April 28 to June 25, 1952, limited archeological excavations were carried on at three sites now inundated by the Texarkana Reservoir-the Knight's Bluff, Snipes, and Sherwin sites in Cass County, Tex. This project was part of the nationwide archeological salvage program of the River Basin Surveys, administered by the Smithsonian Institution in cooperation with the National Park Service, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Bureau of Reclamation. The excavations at Texarkana were...
River Basin Surveys Papers, No. 22: Archeological Investigations in the Coralville Reservoir, Iowa (1961)
During the winter of 1949, a preliminary reconnaissance of the south-central portion of the Iowa River valley was carried out by the River Basin Surveys, Smithsonian Institution, in an effort to determine the archeological potential of the area to be submerged by the waters of the then projected Coralville Reservoir. Temporal considerations prevented an intensive investigation of the region; however, the recovered data (Wheeler, 1949) made it obvious that further, more thorough work, was...
