Archaeological testing fieldwork at Rancho Sahuarita sites AZ EE:1:225 and :226 (ASM) was completed on November 19, 1999. This testing phase followed the Archaeological Research Guidelines (ARG approved by the Town of Sahuarita (WestLand Resources and SWCA 1998). The guidelines provide a culture history and research design. AZ EE:1:225 and :226 (ASM) are two of a cluster of late pre-Classic Hohokam sites located along the west side of the Santa Cruz River in Sahuarita, Arizona. To summarize,...
The Effects of Sampling by Size Class on the Organization of Technology at the Sunrise Ridge Borrow Pit Site (45PI408), Mt. Rainier National Park, Washington (2015)
Prior lithic paradigmatic classification at the Sunrise Ridge Borrow Pit site (45PI408) has shown significant intra-site variation in chipped-stone technology and function. Recent fieldwork recovered an additional sample of artifacts bringing the total chipped stone assemblage to a sample size of n = 13036. Size grading, or mass analysis, was done for all lithic artifacts before cataloging. Recent attribute analysis of all lithic artifacts > 0.635 cm mesh size (n = 3681) demonstrates that...
