Distance in Space and Time: Issues with a Mortuary Database of the First Farmers in the Southern Southwest (2011)
This paper describes issues associated with the construction of a biocultural database from samples of the earliest farmers from the southern Southwest and northwest Mexico. Currently over a dozen archaeological sites dating to the Early Agricultural period (circa 1,600 B.C.-A.D. 150) have produced a large sample of mortuary features (n = 431). These samples, and thereby the data, face unique challenges in interpretation compared to similar large data sets in that the materials (sites, features,...
Southern Arizona the Last 12,000 Years: A Cultural-Historic Overview for the Western Army National Guard Aviation Training Site (1994)
This report presents an overview of the prehistoric and historic archaeological resources in the proposed Western Army National Guard Aviation Training site (WAATS) in south-central Arizona prepared for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District (COE). The purpose of this overview was to provide WAATS with a Class I Survey representing the initial step in the assessment of potential impacts to cultural resources in this large region as a result of helicopter over flights and landings...
Southwest Mortuary Database Project: 2011 SAA E-Session: Mortuary Practices in the American Southwest: Meta-Data Issues in the Development of a Regional Database
The study of prehistoric mortuary practices in the American Southwest is undergoing tremendous change in the new millennium. The challenges (and opportunities) of NAGPRA implementation, declines in the number of large samples being excavated, and loss of data from previously excavated samples have altered mortuary archaeology in the region. Given this state of affairs, the development of an integrated regional database of prehistoric mortuary practices is imperative. This session at the 76th...
Watson_Early Ag Period in the Sonoran Desert_Mortuary and Biological Data (2011)
In this data set, Watson presents mortuary and biological data for a sample (n = 431) of Early Agriculural period (1,600 B.C - 150 A.D.) burial features excavated at 12 archaeological sites in southeastern Arizona and northern Sonora, Mexico. Variables include age, sex, body position, body orientation, material accompaniments, trauma, and several paleopathological conditions.
