The recognition that our field is based on scientifically curated national collections has re–emerged as a core value of the archaeological community.  While most archaeologists recognize curation and collections management as being integral to our field, resource allocation for these collections have never adequately addressed our national need.  The preservation and digitization of collections is now seen as key to the survival of the field and the science of archaeology.  The U.S. Army Corps...

This report examines the alternative methods of slope protection to check the erosion of the existing bank at Blossom Point. This erosion, if permitted to continue, will result in damage and eventual collapse of an existing structure at the top of the bank known as the Ballast House. Alternative solutions, permit information, and recommendations are discussed in this report.

The purpose of the 1977 investigations at Aquilla Lake was to continue testing archaeological sites in the project area in order to determine which sites warranted nomination to the National Register of Historic Places and also to evaluate various archaeological problems relevant to the project area. This information was used to determine which sites in the project area warrant additional investigations and to develop a comprehensive plan to mitigate the unavoidable loss of archaeological...

The archaeological resources around the edge of Lake Whitney in Central Texas were inventoried in order to determine the impact that an increase in lake level will have upon the resources. It was determined that testing should accompany site survey in order to insure a realistic evaluation of archaeological sites. Testing determined that several sites have been eroded away by lake edge wave action. Extensive excavation was conducted at two prehistoric sites. The sites (Bowling Pin site and...

The excavation of three mounds in Huntington County, Indiana, on the Upper Wabash River was accomplished in 1964 under auspices of the National Park Service through a grant administered by Indiana University. The mounds, three of the twenty-four sites located in 1963 by John Dorwin during the preliminary archaeological survey of the Huntington Reservoir, were located on the property of Mrs. C.W.H. Bangs, resident of Huntington, Indiana. Permission was obtained for the necessary excavation from...

Eleven aboriginal sites were excavated to mitigate the date loss from the effects of construction in the Divide-Cut Section of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. Site descriptions, field methods employed, and descriptions of material recovered were present. Two contrasting sets of sites based upon two physiographic variables were discussed. Assemblage-level comparisons were made between sites lying North or South of the Tennessee Valley Divide, and between sites located on bottoms or terraces....

The Standards for Data Collection from Human Skeletal Remains has been the standard for inventorying skeletal collections around the country, as well as most recently adopted by the Autry National Center of the American West. In 2011, a new digital method of inventory was developed by the Smithsonian Institution, called Osteoware. Osteoware is intended to be a common set of core observations between different researchers and incorporates The Standards. This project looks over the merits and...
