The Tree Row site (11F53) is contained within alluvial fan deposits at the base of the western bluffs of the central Illinois River valley in Fulton County, Illinois. The site includes Mississippian, Early Woodland, and Late Archaic occupations. Only the Late Archaic occupation is considered here.

The ruins lie on the east bank of the San Pedro River some twelve miles by road north of the town of Benson. At this point the river has started to cut into an erosion terrace or bench on which the ruins are located. This bench rises about one hundred to one hundred and fifty feet above the bed of the river, and is eroded by relatively short but deep and steep-banked gullies or arroyos into several tongues of land fanning out toward the river. Evidences of prehistoric occupation are found on the...

This was not a systematic survey hut a quick check of the area surrounding three springs; Coal Mine Spring, George Wise Spring, and Matachin Spring. We spent over an hour at each spring. This initial site visit was useful for understanding the potential for buried cultural remains, geomorphological/erosion Issues, and other factors that may affect the...

The goal of the survey was determine if the proposed RV sites would adversely affect the cultural resources present or have the potential to affect any previously unknown cultural resources. After looking over the information from previous archaeological surveys (Madsen and Bayman 1989, Whalen 1971) it was determined that the proposed RV sites lie within a large lithic artifact scatter w/ roasting pits, identified as Late Archaic first by Whalen in 1971, and again by Madsen and Bayman (1989)...

This report on the Navajo archeology of the Chaco region was planned as the final major contribution deriving from the Navajo studies conducted by the Division of Chaco Research. There is some work not finished as this is written. Whether it will see print before or after this is an imponderable, but it cannot be taken into account in my final summation in Part III, Concluding Remarks. Part III will have to stand as the primary effort at synthesis of the Navajo studies accomplished under the...

The identification of 47 prehistoric sites during the 1983 survey (Downum and others 1986) and the...

During May of 1990, archaeologists investigated the historic remains on Tucson Block 83, still preserved beneath the debris of more recent buildings that had been demolished for construction of a new downtown bus station. With a specially-designed wide blade, a backhoe gently scraped away the foot-deep demolition debris to reveal adobe, brick, and stone house foundations, trash piles, well shafts, and privy pits dating between about 1880 and 1920 (most of them dating to near the turn of the...

This report is the result of a proposed subterrene drainage project at Tuzigoot National Monument. In June, 1975, the Museum of Northern Arizona contracted with the National Park Service (Contract No. CX81005004) to study the impact of the drainage project on the archaeological resources at the Monument. In conjunction with this phase of the project, Museum archaeologists were to locate all possible undisturbed deposits in the pueblo. These deposits would be plotted on an archaeological base map...
