501-525 (2,075 Records)
To better understand the role of globalization in culture change, this thesis investigates how the growing global economy of the twentieth century has affected the Maya community of Silvituc, Campeche, Mexico, and how those influences are reflected in the archaeological record. By applying both a macro-scale and microscale approach this study demonstrates how wage labor and surrounding land developments, such as the introduction of a highway, have been incorporated into a subsistence-based...
Egyptian Ceramics: Compositional and Descriptive Database (2014)
This dataset contains compositional (elemental abundance) and descriptive data for a total of 391 ceramic and clay specimens from Egypt, analyzed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory between the late 1960s and early 1990s. These data were generated by neutron activation analysis (NAA) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) between the late 1960s and early 1990s. Data from the LBNL were transferred to the Archaeometry Laboratory at the University of Missouri, where they were...
EMVPP Field & Lab Manual (2003)
The field and lab manual for the 2003 El Morro Prehistory Project. The same manual was used in other EMVPP seasons. Most aspects of this manual can be applied to the Ojo Bonito Archaeological Project, the Heshotauthla Archaeological Research Project, the Upper Little Colorado Prehistory Project, and the Rudd Creek Archaeology Project. This manual describes field and laboratory procedures, how to fill out the forms, and how the provenience system works. It also has relevant ceramic type...

The End of Casas Grandes: The Legacy of Charles C. Di Peso Fifty Years after the Joint Casas Grandes Project (2009)
Charles Di Peso believed that Paquime, the primary center for the Casas Grandes culture, succumbed to an attack in A.D. 1340. He further argued that the culture survived in the Sierra Madre, where it was encountered by early Spanish military adventurers. Other reviews of the data have come to different conclusions. In this essay, I examine and discuss the available chronometric data.

Environment and Subsistence of Chaco Canyon, New Mexico (1985)
This paper is conceived as a summary and review of recent paleoenvironmental research in Chaco. While the orientation is toward reviewing information of potential significance in modelling past human adaptations, discussion of archeological evidence of past adapt ions is minimal. The focus is on characterizing the general climatic and environmental framework, which confronted human populations at different times in the past, and on suggesting revisions of previous interpretations where...
An Environmental Evaluation of Scenic, Historic and Land Use Considerations for the Coronado Project, St. Johns, Arizona (1975)
From January to April of 1974, Wirth Associates, as part of a larger study team, conducted environmental studies for the Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP) on their proposed Coronado Generating Station. The purpose of these studies was to assess the potential environmental conflicts of the proposed 1050 MW generating station on the scenic, historic and land use resources of two alternate plant sites (near the towns of St. Johns and Snowflake, Arizona) and their...

An Evaluation of Historic Cultural Resources in Relation to the Central Arizona Water Control Study (1984)
This is a final, summary report on historic cultural resources in relation to the Central Arizona Water Control Study (CAWCS). The objectives of the CAWCS were to identify and evaluate alternative measures for flood control and regulatory water storage in Central Arizona in conjunction with construction of the Central Arizona Project. Having considered numerous alternative plans to meet these objectives, the Bureau of Reclamation defined a preferred alternative (Plan...
An Examination of Capitalism on Nineteenth-Century Haciendas in Yucatán, Mexico, (2013)
This paper presents archaeological and historical evidence of the changing roles of haciendas in the Mexican economy during the nineteenth century in Yucatán. Specifically, this paper looks at how haciendas changed before and just after the Caste War of Yucatán through the examination of hacienda site structures, population data, and material culture comparisons. Haciendas are agricultural estates that are maintained by a wealthy land-owner and a lower-class labor force to supply...
Excavations At 29SJ627, Chaco Canyon, New Mexico: Volume I. The Architecture and Stratigraphy (1992)
Site 29SJ 627 is located on the west side of Chaco Canyon, directly opposite the Park's Visitor Center and just north of the Chaco and Fajada (Vicenti) wash confluence (Figures 1.1-1.3). The site is situated in the middle of an alluvial plain in an area referred to as Marcia's Rincon, bounded on the west by South Mesa and limited on the north and south by two, low, unnamed ridges (Figure 1.4). During the Chaco Project's 1974 and 1975 excavations, 25 rooms, portions of seven pit structures,...
Excavations At 29SJ627, Chaco Canyon, New Mexico: Volume II. The Artifact Analyses (1992)
The excavation and analyses of material culture remains from site 29SJ627 provide a wealth of data upon which to base interpretations of life in a small site in Chaco Canyon, especially during the A.D. 800s through mid A.D. 1100s. The 7,401 field specimen numbers assigned to the artifacts and samples only hint at this unusual volume of material. These data were recovered from all areas of the site (Figure 1.1) and represent several construction and use periods. Because of the size of the site...
Excavations at 29SJ633: the Eleventh Hour Site, Chaco Canyon, New Mexico (1991)
Chaco Canyon, located in the approximate center of the San Juan Basin of northwestern New Mexico (Figure 1.1), has been the focus of archeological research for nearly a century. Many large and small sites have been investigated. Figure 1.2 indicates the location of sane of the large sites within and just outside Chaco Culture National Historical Park. Research carried out by the Chaco Project focused on the development of the Chaco Anasazi from the earliest appearance of nan through the...
The Fairbank Data Recovery Project: Prehistoric and Historic Era Excavations along the San Pedro River (2007)
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and HDR Engineering, Inc., proposed a highway- widening project along State Route 82 (SR82) in Cochise County, Arizona.
