The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) purchased property at North Freeway, Tucson, Arizona, to facilitate improvements along the Interstate 10 (I-10) corridor. Following completion of construction, ADOT proposed selling the property lying outside the I-10 right-of-way. EcoPlan Associates, environmental consultants to ADOT, requested a cultural resources assessment of the property prior to sale. Desert Archaeology, Inc., identified potentially significant surface remains and initiated a...

The City of Phoenix (COP) Street Transportation Department (STD) is conducting road and storm drain improvements. The project will require the relocation of an existing Salt River Project (SRP) irrigation line, located on U.S. Bureau of Reclamation land. Because federal lands are involved, the project is considered a federal undertaking subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. It also follows applicable COP policies and requirements as...

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...

This is an abstract from the "New Thoughts on Current Research in East Asian Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The lithic industry of South China has been characterized as simple "cobble-tool" industry persisting from early Pleistocene to Holocene and the most representative industry of Southeast Asia was also marked by pebble-tool techno-complex termed Hoabinhian during late Pleistocene-early Holocene. The possible cultural link of the...

The Wolf Creek Site (36BT82) in Slippery Rock, PA was last excavated in the early 1990s as part of Slippery Rock University’s (SRU) Field School Program in Archaeology. In this poster, current SRU students evaluate the hypothesis that the site was an historic Kuskuski indigenous camp through a re-analysis of existing collections and additional research at the site.

This is an abstract from the "Establishing the Science of Paleolithic Archaeology: The Legacy of Harold Dibble (1951–2018) Part I" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 1984, Harold Dibble published his iconic scraper reduction paper. This publication, and the many that followed, played a significant role in realigning the discipline from one that retained a focus on artifact typology as the foundation for both culture historical and functional...

This is an abstract from the "Expedient Technological Behavior: Global Perspectives and Future Directions" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Bipolar reduction is a central strategy in Pleistocene archaeology, recognized as an archetypal “expedient” technology. It entails hammer and anvil flake production, suitable for stabilizing smaller cores during miniaturized flake production. Despite its widespread occurrence and decades of study, debates...

This is an abstract from the "The Extended Evolutionary Synthesis and Human Origins: Archaeological Perspectives" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Because lithics preserve better than almost any other trace of human existence in the deep past, they receive the lion’s share of attention from Pleistocene archaeologists. In this paper we explore the theoretical and practical limitations of using lithics as subjects of evolutionary analyses. We base our...

This is an abstract from the "Establishing the Science of Paleolithic Archaeology: The Legacy of Harold Dibble (1951–2018) Part I" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Rolland and Dibble synthesis was an ambitious attempt to reframe the interpretation of Middle Paleolithic variability. The model postulates that Middle Paleolithic assemblage variability is continuous in nature, driven principally by raw material availability and occupation intensity....

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Between the 2012-2016 field seasons, the Mopan Valley Preclassic Project conducted investigations of an eastern pyramidal structure (Str D-6) at Group D, Xunantunich. Group D is a sacbe terminus architectural group which is connected to Xunantunich’s main plaza. The location of the sacbe suggests that Group D was part of an important ritual circuit. Over 5...

This is an abstract from the "Centralizing Central America: New Evidence, Fresh Perspectives, and Working on New Paradigms" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. “El Agua es Vida, si no hay Agua, no hay Vida” (“Water is Life”) says Doña Francisca (community of Huehuestepe, Mayales River Valley [MRV], Nicaragua). Today more than ever this sentence holds true, given water’s increasing significance in the global climatic debate. Rivers are essential to...

This is an abstract from the "Pushing the Envelope, Chasing Stone Age Sailors and Early Agriculture: Papers in Honor of the Career of Alan H. Simmons" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The late Pleistocene and early Holocene Neolithic connections over the maritime routes from the eastern Mediterranean shores to Cyprus have been fruitfully investigated, and those links clearly involved more than the simple movement of ideas. Another development in the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. All natural substances have intrinsic acoustical properties. Flint, obsidian, and basalt, because of their comparable structure, have very similar sound properties. We explore here whether every piece of knappable stone, within certain parameters, will produce the same fundamental pitch along with its associated partials. The partials of the harmonic sequence...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This study applies a three-dimensional landmark-based geometric morphometric (GM) technique to evaluate chronological variation in Acheulian bifacial technology during the Middle Pleistocene of Armenia. This analysis utilizes 360° documentation of biface shape to supplement more commonly used single-surface and outline GM approaches. Furthermore, traditional...
