This project examined the cultural resources of the western half of the Ak Chin Community's lands prior to intensive agricultural development using waters from the Central Arizona Project. The project's research design assumed that Ak Chin had been used as a floodwater farming location for many centuries. The problem domains and research questions focused on the physical {geomorphological), biological, and cultural subsystems within the Ak Chin ecosystem. The investigation also considered the...

The Pueblo Indians who live in the Northern Rio Grande belong to several distinct linguistic groups and their cultural differences may be reflected in past burial practices. With a few notable exceptions, much of the older data on Northern Rio Grande burials is presented as summaries without regards to age or sex and without definitions of exactly what is meant by the terms used to describe even basic treatment such as orientation and body position. Thus, the typical level of reporting is...

The aim of the LEAP projects was to publish multi-layered e-publications and develop and link them to associated digital archives. The original LEAP project was funded by the AHRC while the LEAP II, A Trans-Atlantic LEAP, was supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. This shapefile is part of a 2011 LEAP II project "Placing immateriality: situating the material of highland Chiriquí" by Karen Holberg. All files associated with this record must be downloaded to ensure that the shapefile...

Between September 28th, 2009, and June 21st, 2010, Brockington and Associates conducted intensive cultural resources survey of 4,085 acres at four different reservoirs in Central Texas: Stillhouse Hollow Lake, in Bell County; Grapevine Lake, in Tarrant and Denton Counties; Lewisville Lake, in Denton County; and Lake Whitney, in Hill and Boxque Counties. Archival research defined 25 previously recorded archaeological sites within the survey tracts. There were no previously recorded...

Our 1985 survey of the Willcox Playa environs resulted in a wealth of Archeological data, the findings of which are presented in the following chapters. We have added to the Archaic database from the Cazador through San Pedro stages of the Cochise sequence, and suggest a tentative Archaic settlement system integrated with local habitats and accompanying resources. Though it is a partial picture, the ceramic period settlement system is also beginning to emerge. Our knowledge of the early ceramic...

This draft report is submitted in partial fulfillment of Cooperative Agreement No. 1443-CA-1250-6-005 between the National Park Service and Texas A&M University (TAMU). It presents a basic description of the Systemwide Archeological Inventory Survey (SAIP) of 1992
1993, and subsequent surveys conducted during a reservoir drawdown period in 1995, 1996, and 1997. Survey descriptions are based on draft documents and site data recording forms submitted to TAMU. The sample of 500 sites is discussed...

This dataset contains information for 104 AMS radiocarbon dates from nine Attiwandaron and Tionontate sites in southern Ontario, Canada. Contextual information and information regarding how samples are related to one another is included. This same dataset will be uploaded to CARD (the Canadian Archaeological Radiocarbon Database) after a 2-year data embargo (in 2025).

The Casas Grandes skeletal sample contains approximately 654 individuals. This excavated number represents one quarter or less of the probable total number of remains at the site. The collection arrived at The Physical Anthropology Laboratory of The University of Texas at Austin in 332 cardboard boxes. Many of the boxes were partitioned so that more than one individual was alloted to a box.

This report describes and interprets a collection of faunal remains from the Posey Site (18CH281) in Charles County, Maryland. In 1996, archaeologists from the Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum excavated more than 500 shovel test pits and 37 1.5 x 1.5 meter test excavation units to delimit site boundaries and determine the integrity and significance of the site. These excavations recovered a large artifact collection and approximately 4000 faunal remains. This report covers a subset of the...

Twenty two soil samples from two prehistoric (Middle Archaic to Woodland) Native American sites in Broome County, New York, were submitted to the Fiske Center for palynological analysis. Within these samples, 72 taxa were identified, providing evidence of a changing landscape which was shaped by human land management strategies, including controlled burning and the intentional cultivation of maize (Zea mays) as a food crop.

Three soil samples from two mid-to-late eighteenth-century privies excavated at the Manalapan Village House Site in New Jersey were submitted to the Fiske Center for parasitological analysis. Despite the addition of a Lycopodium spore tracer to the samples to ensure against analyst error, no parasite ova were recovered from the three samples. Additional parasitological processing using the Fecasol flotation method was undertaken, as well as an examination of the remainder of the soil samples for...

The Ancient Socioecological Systems in Oman (ASOM) project examined how the environment influences human territorial behavior in pastoral ecosystems as well as how territoriality in turn shapes the environment. ASOM came from a local Jebali-language term (ʾasὑm) for a type of stone monument used for burial and other purposes in antiquity (al-Shahri 1991: 184). We are an interdisciplinary group of scientists using archeological and ecological techniques to examine whether and how climate and...

The authors of this paper were invited to attend a conference on 'Ancient Vermont' held at Castleton in Vermont in October 1977,and to examine and comment upon the 'evidence' for the extensive occupation of New England by Celts and others in the first or second millennium BC as propounded by Professor L. B. Fell of Harvard University. The 'evidence' consists broadly of supposed 'Ogam' and 'proto-Ogam' inscriptions on rocks and stones and megalithic stone structures, some of the structures...

This site was excavated prior to the Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project, co-directed by Drs. Margaret Nelson and Michelle Hegmon that began in 1993. EMAP focuses on the later (post-AD 1000) prehistory of the eastern Mimbres area, a portion of the Mimbres region in southwest New Mexico. In 1982 Nelson was at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque and in the early 1990s at the State University of New York, Buffalo, and Hegmon was at New Mexico State University, Las Cruces.
