The U.S. Air Force proposed to construct an equipment storage building on a 1-acre parcel located northwest of the intersection of Pole Line and Artillery Roads at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. Because the proposed project included federal funds and lands, it qualified as an undertaking under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), U.S. Code (USC) Title 54, Section 306108 (54 USC 306108); therefore, an identification-phase cultural resources survey of the project...

With visual technology becoming more affordable, archaeologists are more able than ever to engage in global dialogue with how research can help answer questions about our past and play a role into where we are going, while celebrating our shared lifeways that unite us as a human species. Pulling examples from the 2016 Quilcapampa Archaeological Investigation Project field season, this research report will share the different ways in which projects can incorporate a visual communications strategy...

PROJECT Michael Heilen.

This project reviews the validity of the assumptions made when, for the sake of conserving funding and curation space, in-field artifact analysis is used over lab analysis of artifacts in western states. Because test results showed that in-field and digital photo analyses of artifacts are of low accuracy and often inadequate for site interpretation, a set of recommendations is made for deciding how and in what situations field analysis is best applied.

Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) has proposed to demolish Building 32448 (formerly 62-160) Munitions Maintenance Operations facility, an individual Quonset hut that was constructed in 1942. As the proposed project is an undertaking on federal lands with federal funds, a cultural resource survey of the project's Area of Potential Effect (APE) and a determination of the building's National Register of Historical Places (NRHP) eligibility were required under Section 106 of the National...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "“Talkin’ ‘Bout a Revolution”: Identifying and Understanding Early Historic-Period House Sites" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Well-preserved Colonial-period house sites have been discovered in agricultural fields, beneath deep fill deposits, in urban areas, next to major roadways, and under suburban lawns. The 17th- and 18th- century house sites discussed in this paper demonstrate that early colonial...

Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER), had proposed to stack and store fill dirt material in a 22-acre area north of the existing base runway. As the proposed project was an undertaking on federal lands with federal funds, a cultural resource survey of the proposed project’s Area of Potential Effect (APE) was required under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA; 16 USC § 470 as amended). Edmund Gaines M.A., R.P.A, served as Principal Investigator and led field efforts for...

Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) has proposed to construct two new demolition ranges—Demolition Range “A” and Demolition Range “B”—at the Richardson Training Area (RTA), with new access roads proposed at each range. During the period of September 18-22, AECOM archaeologists, under the direct supervision of Principal Investigator Edmund Gaines, M.A., R.PA., performed a cultural resources survey of the project’s APEs. This work was conducted for the 673d Civil Engineer Squadron,...

Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) had proposed to conduct watershed and fishery enhancement activities in the Otter Creek and Six mile Creek watersheds within the boundaries of the installation. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), on behalf of the 673d Civil Engineer Squadron, Environmental Conservation Section, contracted AECOM Technical Services (AECOM) to perform cultural resources surveys of the project's APE at Otter Creek and six mile Creek. This document details those surveys.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Recent advances in lidar technologies have been profound for archaeology, amplifying the subdiscipline of digital archaeology. However, lidar units, both aerial and terrestrial, have remained cost prohibitive until recent products by Apple including the iPad and iPhone Pro series. These products are among the first consumer electronic devices with built-in...

From 1978 until 1985 the University of Colorado contracted with the Bureau of Reclamation (Contract No. 8-07-40-S0562) to mitigate the adverse impact of a large water impoundment project on the cultural resources in the project area. This complex and evolving long-term mitigation plan known as the Dolores Archaeological Program (DAP) has been called a “truly unique chapter in American archaeology” (Breternitz 1993:118) and was applauded by Lipe (1998:2) for its ability to “increase the power and...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Preliminary archaeological surveys are dynamic and site specific; by definition, they are an archaeologist’s first exposure to an environment being assessed for archaeological potential. In New Brunswick, Canada, areas in and around rivers hold the highest potential for yielding precontact and early historic material. Despite this, river bottoms and water...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Traditional systematic subsurface testing has been common practice in CRM since the 1970s, when archaeological survey methods were utilized to rescue material culture from a boom in land development projects across North America. Conventional test pits are hand-dug; however, innovations that emerged from an industry partnership between Colbr Consulting...
