The Coronado Project Archaeological Investigations: A Description of Ceramic Collections from the Railroad and Transmission Line Corridors (1982)
During 1974-1978, the Museum of Northern Arizona conducted an extensive archaeological mitigation program for the Salt River Project prior to the construction of the Coronado Generating Plant near St. Johns, Arizona, and its energy corridors, the Coronado-Silver King Transmission Line and the Coronado Coal-Haul Railroad. Ceramic material from those corridors was separated from remaining project data and reported on herein. Over 148 ceramic-bearing sites produced a wide range of decorated and...

The results of investigations at 47 archaeological sites along the Coronado railroad corridor from St. Johns, Arizona, to Navajo, Arizona, are presented. Of the 47 sites, 14 were surface collected and recorded, 9 were tested, and 24 were excavated as fully as possible given the constraints of the impact corridor. Data contributing to the study of the Anasazi-Mogollon (Cibola) culture area are discussed in chapters on environment, architecture, ground stone, shell, and human skeletal remains. An...

Cultural Affiliation Report Kennewick Man: All Chapters (2000)
The general goals of this study are to identify, describe and summarize mortuary patterns and bio-archaeological studies within the Pacific Northwest. A major purpose is to compile this information in a form that will help address the possible cultural affiliation of Kennewick human remains with present-day Indian tribes. The specific objective is to identify continuities, discontinuities, and gaps in mortuary information and bio-archaeological data for the Middle Columbia River region from 9500...
Cultural Affiliation Report, Chapter 1: Background and Scope for the Kennewick Man Cultural Affiliation Reports (2000)
As part of its responsibilities in the Kennewick Man case, the Department of the Interior was trying to make a determination of the disposition of the human remains under the requirements of NAGPRA. Since the issue of disposition was at least in part related to whether the remains could be culturally affiliated under the terms of NAGPRA, four studies by experts in anthropological, archaeological, cultural, and historical topics relevant to this determination were undertaken by the DOI....
Cultural Affiliation Report, Chapter 2: Review of the Archaeological Data (2000)
This report is part of the cultural affiliation study, under NAGPRA, of the Kennewick human remains. The circumstances of the finding of those remains, and the resulting controversies, are well enough known not to require rehearsal here. The present work reviews the extant archaeological record for the Southern Columbia Plateau.
Cultural Affiliation Report, Chapter 3: Review of Traditional Historical and Ethnographic Information (2000)
This report has been prepared under contract with the National Park Service for the purpose of investigating the ethnographic and historical data concerning the cultural affiliation of the Kennewick human remains. Specifically I was asked to review published and archival materials related to the traditional ethnography, including traditional histories, kinship and patterns of residence, trade and social networks, artifact types and dwellings, community and settlement patterns, and economic and...
Cultural Affiliation Report, Chapter 4: Review of Linguistic Information (2000)
The Kennewick Man remains were found in shallow water along the edge of the Columbia River. It is believed that the remains eroded from the river bank at Columbia Park in what now is Kennewick, Washington, in July 1996. Preliminary C14 dating of the bone suggested the remains might be approximately 9,000 (C14) years old. At issue is the application of provisions of NAGPRA with regard to the repatriation of the remains to a coalition of tribes and bands (Confederated Tribes of the Colville...

Data Recovery at AZ EE:9:117, a Small Site along the Santa Cruz River North of Nogales, Arizona (2000)
The project along South River Road was conducted for Santa Cruz County prior to road improvements.

The prehistoric component included two pithouse remnants, numerous extramural pits, and one unique mortuary feature. Dates recovered through several different methods suggest a long, low-intensity, prehistoric use of the site from...
