Hardt Hillfort Arizona Site Steward File (2000)
This is an Arizona Site Steward file for the Hardt Hillfort site, comprised of a hilltop compund and room block, wall, and shrine-like stone structure, located on Tonto National Forest land. The site appears to have been used by the Salado. The file consists of two heritage inventory forms, two hand drawn site maps, and a map of the site location. The earliest dated document is from 2000. Note that the forms inconsistently assign prehistoric and historic status to the same described features...
Hayden Flour Mill: Landscape, Economy, and Community Diversity in Tempe, Arizona, Volume 2: Archaeology, Project Synthesis, and Management Summary (2008)
The ability to integrate archaeological findings with extensive archival and oral history resources is often a rare occurrence in cultural resource management. The Hayden Flour Mill project afforded us just such an opportunity, the benefits of which are demonstrated throughout this and the following chapters of this volume. In many instances, the archival data suggested where we might find buried features beneath caps of fill or asphalt on the property (e.g., the Calaboose/jail, hereafter...

A Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Four Prehistoric Sites Along the Salt River Project's Proposed Southeast Power Link 230kV Transmission Line Corridor, Maricopa County, Arizona (2022)
Salt River Project (SRP) is proposing to construct a new 230kV transmission line in Maricopa County, Arizona (Project). The proposed Project entails the construction of seven miles of new overhead power lines that will follow a previously approved route. The proposed overhead transmission line will require the placement of 56 tubular steel pole structures. The corridor for the proposed Project varies between 100–205 feet (ft) wide. Additionally, a new 230/69kV receiving station will be built in...

INVESTIGACIONES ARQUEOLÓGICAS EN LAS UNIDADES HABITACIONALES DE ISLA CILVITUK, CAMPECHE, MEXICO
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...

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...
An Investigation of Turtle Use at Isla Cilvituk, Campeche, Mexico (2010)
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...
Isla Cilvituk: Finding Primary Contexts Using GIS (2008)
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...

Kinishba: A Classic Site of the Western Pueblos (1956)
This book is a general historic and cultural overview of the Kanishba ruins located on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation in Central Arizona. First mentioned in archaeological publications in 1892 by Adolph Bandelier, this large and prominent site eventually was investigated as part of an archaeological research program of the University of Arizona. In 1931, Dr. Byron Cummings, then Director of the Arizona State Museum and Head of the Department of Anthropology, established a camp near the site...

Lacustrine Resource Use at Isla Cilvituk, Campeche, Mexico: A Case Study for Pomacea flagellata (2008)
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...
