An Archaeological Survey of Lassen Volcanic National Park, California (1974)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Alfred E. Journey.

This study reports on a survey of the areas in Lassen Volcanic National Park most likely to reveal aboriginal human activity, with some work in the areas less likely to have sites. Despite the limitations, the survey includes virtually every major drainage, meadow, spring, lake, pond, and rock shelter. It represents a large sample of the total park area which would be suitable for human use. In total, forty-seven archaeological sites were located and described. Therefore, this report represents...


Digging without Getting Dirty: Making use of Archival Data to Explore Variations of Labor Costs in Hohokam Residential Architecture at Pueblo Grande. (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Veronica Judd. Hannah Zanotto. David Abbott. Douglas Craig.

Archaeological research in Arizona’s Phoenix Basin has been ongoing for nearly four decades, reaching its heyday during the 1990s. This resulted from large CRM projects associated with development in Phoenix, especially ADOT. The potential uses of data collected as a part of these excavations has only begun to be realized, and efforts to digitally preserve and make available these data accessible for new analysis are underway. At Pueblo Grande and elsewhere in the lower Salt River Valley, there...

Extensive excavation records and legacy materials provide ample opportunities for novel research in Japan. This project seeks to open and demonstrate new avenues of inquiry using legacy data and previously excavated materials related to well-studied topics by linking environmental change to the...


Legacy Data and Ceramic Chronologies: The Case of the Gorgan Plain, Northeastern Iran (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kyle Olson.

After the passage of the Iranian Antiquities Law of 1930, the Gorgan Plain in northeastern Iran was seen as one of the most promising regions in the Old World for archaeological research. Despite decades of pioneering field and laboratory research, northeastern Iran still lacks a regionally integrated ceramic chronology for significant stretches of its archaeological history, particularly the 3rd millennium BCE. While individual sequences from important sites such as Tureng Tepe and Shah Tepe...


A Photogrammetry Of The Past: A Time To Observe And A Time To Record. The Example Of The Madrague De Giens (1st BC) (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Pierre Poveda. Laetitia Cavassa. Vincent Dumas. Philippe Soubias. Giulia Boetto.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Digital Approaches in Nautical Archaeology", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Photogrammetry is widely recognised as a formidable improvement in the field of underwater archaeology, and presents many advantages, among which the possibility of recording quickly a large quantity of data. If the time gained in the documentation phase is appreciable, it also significantly impacted the time devoted to the...
