After a century of excavation and survey in Chaco Canyon, a new study of Chacoan architecture should be redundant. Oddly enough, this is not true. The most extensive field studies of Chacoan building were the earliest (Holsinger 1901; Jackson 1878), undertaken before the development of tree-ring dating; while the most important dendrochronological studies (Bannister 1965; Robinson et al. 1974) were accomplished without the benefit of concurrent fieldwork. Chaco's archaeological literature,...

Our Goals are to examine the site of Blue Creek to better understand the political and economic interaction between the Maya of the Coastal Belize Zone and those of the Eastern Peten Zone. In addition, we view the Blue Creek project as an opportunity to undertake a comprehensive, integrated community study.

PROJECT Rani T Alexander.

With the permission of the Consejo de Arqueología, Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, intensive archaeological survey, instrument mapping, and test excavations were carried out at Isla Cilvituk from 1994 to 1996. Isla Cilvituk is a large aggregated site, 50 hectares in size, located on an island in Laguna Silvituc and situated in a lacustrine zone that runs to the south from Lake Mocu, Campeche, to the Peten Lakes, Guatemala. We completed a 100 percent full-coverage survey of the...

Con la autorización del Consejo de Arqueología, Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, se llevó al cabo el trabajo de campo entre junio hasta agosto de los años 1994, 1995, y 1996. Los análisis del gabinete y del laboratorio se condujeron durante los meses en medio y los años subsecuentes. La primera fase del proyecto involucró el reconocimiento intensivo, el levantamiento y mapeo del sitio, y excavaciones de sondeo para determinar si era probable que las investigaciones de la...

Previous research in Mesoamerican fauna analysis has contributed insights into resource use, but Maya turtle use remains unexamined. Faunal analysis, zooarchaeology, vertebrate taphonomy, and behavioral archaeology provide a guideline into the past taphonomic and life histories of the turtle bones recovered from Isla Cilvituk (A.D. 900-1525). The primary objective of my research is to establish an archaeology model of exploitation of the small and large turtles recovered from Isla...

My main goal with this thesis was to create a sampling design, using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which would allow me to determine the best datable contexts at Isla Cilvituk. Once this sampling design was created, I analyzed the spatial distribution of these datable contexts using the frequency of specimens divided by the total volume of each archaeological layer as a measurement of density (m3). This analysis was divided into two parts. The first analysis looked at the distribution...

For over 15 years, Mexican and American archaeologists and students have dug ancient ruins, walked the high desert landscape, and worked in laboratories to understand the rise and fall of La Quemada, Zacatecas. We want to know why societies become complex, developing social hierarchies with specialized economic, political, and religious roles for their members. Why do civilizations expand? Northern Mexico's ancient past is an ideal context for studying these questions. During the period A.D....

This thesis analyzes the social and subsistence value of the freshwater gasptropod Pomacea spp. in Isla Cilvituk. This is a Postclassic (900 -1525 A.D.) archaeological site on the Maya lowlands. The site is located in Lake Silvituc, Campeche, Mexico. Freshwater resources, such as Pomacea sp., have been neglected from archaeological studies. Scholars have argued that these types of resources are of little importance to the diet, stating that these contain low nutritional value, and even excluding...

The goal of any microwear analysis is to reconstruct as completely as possible the site economy. Once accomplished, such lithic data can then be incorporated into more complex interpretations concerning economic, social, and political organization. This research focuses on the obsidian and chert assemblage from the Postclassic Maya site Isla Cilvituk (AD 900-1545). A replica set of obsidian prismatic blades have been subjected to a full range of activities associated with prehispanic Maya...

The Frank Luke Addition was built in 1952 as one of three public housing complexes making up the City of Phoenix East Asset Management Program (East AMP). In an effort to revitalize the City’s public housing facilities and meet goals of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the City of Phoenix Housing Department proposes to redevelop the Frank Luke Addition. A portion of the Frank Luke Addition falls within the 250 foot buffer zone around the Patrick Locus, which is a...
