Digital images of pottery and perishable items recovered from Earl Morris' excavations of Aztec West Ruin between 1916 and 1922. Although Morris' excavations at Aztec were extensive, his analysis and descriptions of the artifact assemblage were cursory. In 2003, Laurie Webster and Lori Stephens Reed began systematic analysis, documentation, and digital imaging of pottery and perishables from Morris' Aztec West Ruin collections housed at the American Museum of Natural History, New York, NY and...

Ceramics: Temporal-Spatial Dataset (1988)
The Additive Technologies Group (ATG) was responsible for supporting the broad research goals of the DAP through the implementation of mid-level research design governing the collection and analysis of data from “material culture that results from the technological combinations of a variety of raw materials” (Blinman 1986a:57). While these items include worked vegetal material (e.g., basketry and textiles), much of the work performed by the ATG relates to a large ceramic assemblage including...
The Dolores Archaeological Program
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...
Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-026: Excavations at Apricot Hamlet (Site 5Mt2858), a Basket Maker II / Pueblo I Habitation Site (1982)
Apricot Hamlet, Site 5MT2858, is a multiple occupation Basketmaker Ill/Pueblo I habitation site. Located in Montezuma County, in southwestern Colorado, Apricot Hamlet was excavated in 1979 as a part of the Dolores Archaeological Program (D.A.P.). The site was excavated to acquire informat ion on cultural patterning of the dispersed community which existed on the highlands west of the Dolores River valley during the Sagehen Phase (A.D. 600-850) of the Anasazi Tradition. Excavations revealed a...
Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-035: Excavations at Marsh View (Site 5MT2235), a Pueblo III Habitation Site (1982)
Marshview Hamlet (Site MT2235), a small Pueblo-III habitation site located northwest of Dolores, Colorado, was excavated during the 1978 field season as part of the Dolores Archaeological Program. Between 24 July and 2 November 1978; a small pithouse and associated surface structures and features of this small unit hamlet were excavated and documented by University of Colorado crew members and personnel of the Bureau of Reclamation Youth Conservation Corps and Young Adult Conservation Corps. In...
Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-043: Additive Technologies - 1979 (1982)
The Additive Technologies Group of the Dolores Archaeological Program (D.A.P.) completed inventory analysis of ceramic materials recovered during the 1978 and 1979 D.A.P. field seasons, and during the 1974-1976 Dolores River Project survey. Analysis, which consisted of the microscopic and macroscopic examination of the ceramic materials, was followed by the input of the data into the computerized project data bank. The results of inventory analysis were used to define specific culture...
Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-083: Excavations at LeMoc Shelter (Site 5MT2151), a multiple-occupation Anasazi site (1983)
LeMoc Shelter (Site 5MT2151) is a small, stratified site on the south-facing slope of the Dolores River canyon. During excavation of the shelter by the Dolores Archaeological Program, the remains of five successive Anasazi occupations that date to between A.D. 750 and 950 were discovered. During the earliest documented occupation, which dates to the late Sagehill Subphase (A.D. 750-780), the shelter appears to have been occupied year-round by a nuclear family or small extended family. The next...
POLLEN AND BOTANIC ANALYSIS OF THE CONTENTS OF TWO GRAY-WARE CERAMIC VESSELS FROM THE BERNSTEIN-DIERKING DISCOVERY SITE, 42SA24364, UTAH (2001)
Two Dolores corrugated grayware ceramic vessels were recovered from a small sheltered alcove at the Bernstein-Dierking Discovery site, 42SA24364, in eastern Utah. Ceramics and radiocarbon dates suggest occupation during the Pueblo II period. Fill inside the North Pot was sampled at 5 cm intervals for pollen and/or botanic remains to provide information concerning paleoenvironmental conditions as this vessel filled. In addition, a wash was collected from the interior of the pot to determine...
