Of Gila Spiral and Plumed Serpents: the Temporal Sensitivity of Casas Grandes Ceramics (2020)
Arrangements of temporally sequential pottery types have been a backbone of southwestern archaeology for over seventy-five years. Indeed, the region has been the setting for much of the debate over ceramic systematics within Americanist archaeology (Lyman et al. 1997). Since the first Pecos conference in 1927, much of the early archaeological work in the region was explicitly geared towards establishing such ceramic series. In later years, these sequences provided the chronological framework...

Test excavations were completed at H-Spear, a Chacoan Great House located by the project and Ojo Bonito Pueblo. The project took place on the ranch of Mrs. Everett (Mabel) Hinkson (deceased). Most of the project work was done as a part of...

Oman Ceramics: Compositional and Descriptive Data (2014)
This dataset contains compositional (elemental abundance) and descriptive data for a total of 8 ceramic and clay specimens from Oman, analyzed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL).

Data from the LBNL were transferred to the Archaeometry Laboratory at the University of Missouri, where they were digitized for distribution through tDAR. All descriptive and contextual data...

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...
Peoples and Crafts in Period IVB at Hasanlu, Iran
The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology has had a long-standing interest in the archaeology of Iran. In 1956, Robert H. Dyson, Jr., began excavations south of Lake Urmia at the large mounded site of Hasanlu. Although the results of these excavations await final publication, the Hasanlu Special Studies series—of which this monograph is the fourth volume—describes and analyzes specific aspects of technology, style, and iconography. This volume describes a group of...
