201-225 (387 Records)
Use of sediment samples collected from the Hinkson Site for a classroom research project late in 1989 provided opportunity to extract and examine the pollen they contained. Since the effort was undertaken by students with no prior experience of pollen study, the raw data is to some degree suspect. However, the student work was supervised by experienced personnel, and students were encouraged to rely on supervisory help whenever a problematic issue arose. The samples should be re-observed before...

Two charcoal samples from an excavation unit at the Game Drive Site (5LA5484) on the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site in Las Animas County, Colorado, were submitted for identification. A single radiocarbon date also was obtained from charcoal in one of the samples. This site is a large complex of rockshelters, rock art, bedrock metates, thermal features, and lithics. Diagnostic projectile points and rock art suggest occupation within the Developmental to Diversification periods (A.D. 100-1050 to A.D....

Impacts: Damage To Cultural Resources in the California Desert (1980)
Of the nearly 3000 prehistoric and historic sites recorded in the California Desert inventory, 36% have already been damaged so extensively that their condition is reduced to fair or poor. Vandalism is regarded as the major threat to archaeological sites in the desert, and both vandalism and ORV damage are increasing. Historic sites and prehistoric villages have suffered the worst. Less than 40% of them are in good condition. The damage that has been inflicted on archaeological sites in the...
Intensive Cultural Resource Survey of Lake Pleasant Regional Park, Maricopa and Yavapai Counties, Arizona (2002)
In the summers of 1979 and 1980, Arizona State University (ASU) conducted a cultural resources survey of Lake Pleasant Regional Park (LPRP) (Rice and Bostwick 1986). The completion of New Waddell Dam in 1993, increasing recreational development, and new park boundaries spurred the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) to survey the park. Reclamation performed the new survey on their land to fulfill their Section 110 requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act. Upon completion of the...

In 1989, 1992, and 1994, Statistical Research, Inc., conducted sample surveys of the three proposed helicopter gunnery ranges on the extreme northeast corner of the Barry M. Goldwater Range. The survey was completed for the Western Air Reserve National Guard under a contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District. Approximately 15,000 acres were surveyed in all; a total of 130 archaeological sites was recorded. One hundred six of these were prehistoric, and 24 were historic....
Investigations at Ojo Bonito: The 1988 Arizona State University Summer Field School (1988)
The 1988 Arizona State University Archaeological Field School under the direction of Dr. Keith Kintiqh was held at the privately-owned Hinkson ranch just southwest of the Zuni Indian Reservation. The Hinkson ranch holds qreat research potential because of a dense prehistoric occupation (primarily Pueblo II & III) that has been relatively undisturbed by pothuntinq or other destructive processes. If the great house and great kiva of the Hinkson Complex were built and occupied after the collapse...
Investigations of Prehistoric Rockshelter and Terrace Sites Along Portions of the Salado Creek Drainage, Northern Bexar County, Texas (1978)
During late fall and winter of 1977, personnel from the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, conducted limited test excavations and controlled surface collections along portions of the Salado Creek drainage in northern Bexar County. Four specific areas were examined, as they were soon to be inundated or critically altered by proposed floodwater retarding structures. A total of four terrace sites, two small rockshelters and two rockshelter complexes were...

Lake Pleasant Regional Park Cultural Resources Management Plan
In the early 2000's, Lake Pleasant Regional Park (LPRP or the Park) was in an undeveloped portion of Maricopa County, Arizona. Population growth in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area over the past 30 years, however, resulted in the expansion of new housing developments along the edges of the city. It was increasingly clear that the park was becoming part of an urban landsape, and that the park's resources were experiencing increased impacts. In 2004, Archaeological Consulting Services,...
Lake Pleasant Regional Park Cultural Resources Management Plan, Maricopa and Yavapai Counties, Arizona (2004)
Lake Pleasant Regional Park (LPRP or the Park) was in an undeveloped portion of Maricopa County, Arizona. However, population growth exploded in the Phoenix area in the past 30 years and new housing developments expanded and are still expanding ever northward. It is just a matter of time before the Park becomes part of the Valley of the Sun's crowded urban landscape. With an expansion in population will come an increase in land use demands and resource impacts. The purpose of the Cultural...
Late Prehistoric and Ethnohistoric Pinyon Exploitation in South-Central Nevada: A Case from the Belted Range, Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada (2012)
A Section 110 archaeological characterization inventory of the Belted Range was conducted for Nellis Air Force Base by Far Western in the latter half of 2010. The focus of the study was on identifying patterning that could inform current research on the prehistoric exploitation of singleleaf pinyon. The survey identified 64 sites (62 prehistoric, 2 historic-period) within a total of 1,798 acres. We find that the Belted Range pinyon zone is much like those throughout the region that contain...
