This file is a PDF scan of the original handwritten documents of zooarchaeological data for the Stackelbeck sites of the Pacasmayo Project. This data was created in 2004 at the University of Arizona by Barnet Pavao-Zuckerman. In 2023, this data was digitized into an Excel database entitled "Pacasmayo Faunal Data, Stackelbeck Sites" which is included on tDAR with this project. No paper copy scans exist for the Pacasmayo Dillehay sites.

Paleo-II-W: a Minor Paleoindian Occupation Site in Macomb County, Michigan (1964)
In March, 1963, Jerry DeVisscher recognized a small but interesting, Paleo-hunters' occupation site from the characteristic, thin, tiny, secondary flakes that appeared on.the surface after a. very heavy rain. The site has been under cultivation for generations and a general eastward drifting of the sandy surface has taken place forming small dunes and altering surface levels. We have designated it Paleo-II-W (West). This article summarizes investigations and results from the site.

Patterns of Lithic Use at AZ Q:1:42, Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona: Data Revovery along the Mainline Road (1983)
During Phase I of the project to reconstruct the Mainline Road (Pkg. 140) at Petrified Forest National Park, a two-component site, AZ Q:1:42, will be disturbed.

Patterns of Maya Jade Disposal at Blue Creek, Belize (2004)
Jade was the most valued material in the Classic Maya world. Large numbers of jade artifacts have been recovered from diverse contexts from the Maya site of Blue Creek, Belize. This database allows for analysis of the distribution and disposal of jade artifacts. Further, jade’s role in Classic Maya political economies is unclear, with views alternating between jade having functioned as a currency and jade having been controlled by royal elites. The Blue Creek database is used to test the...
Patterns of Prehistoric Settlement in the El Morro Valley, New Mexico (1973)
The design of ·the research hypotheses sampling, data collection and analyses, has made it possible to extrapolate for the region in general the transformations of the natural into the cultural landscape. The analysis of the pattern of settlement when evaluated in terms of the distribution of natural resources exposes many innuendos of prehistoric land use. While the utilization of resources is not totally dependent on demographic variables,(i.e., religious, social etc., norms can also program...

The People of Casas Grandes: Cranial and Dental Morphology Through Time (1971)
Casas Grandes offers an unusual opportunity for a physical anthropologist. There is good archaeological control of spatial and temporal distributions of the skeletal populations, and therefore the results of examinations of these skeletons can contribute important data to general studies of micro-evolutionary changes in Homo sapiens. Studies of the genetics of morphological variation and analysis of discontinous traits of skeletons aid in understanding micro-evolutionary change. This project...
