1-25 (145 Records)
This document is an extension of work begun by William A. Lucius, and its substance owes much to his foresight in the design of the Dolores Archaeological Program ceramic analysis system. Scott Travis authored a draft research design for ceramics which was helpful during the writing of portions of the present version. Dean Wilson and Rob Waterworth provided intense discussions of the interpretation of ceramic data, and their arguments and ideas have shaped and continue to shape...

An Archaeological Survey of the Orme Reservoir (1975)
This report is a statement concerning the assessed impact of the proposed Orme Reservoir on the archaeological resources. The Orme Reservoir is one phase of the Bureau of Reclamation's Central Arizona Project plan to impound and distribute water from the Colorado River to central and southern Arizona. To be located at the confluence of the Salt and Verde rivers, the Orme Reservoir will flood approximately 24,000 acres of bottomland along both rivers. Previous archaeological data from the area...
Archaeology of the Western Manzanita Mountains: Cultural Resource Survey of the West-Central Portion of Kirtland Air Force Base and Department of Energy Lands Withdrawn from the US Forest Service Bernalillo County, New Mexico (2005)
Beginning in January 2003, engineering-environment Management, Inc., (e2M), under contract with Kirtland Air Force Base, conducted a Section 110 cultural resources investigation of 6,654 acres of United States Forest Service (USFS) lands withdrawn to Kirtland Air Force Base (4,824 acres) and the Department of Energy (1,830 acres) located in the Manzanita Mountains of New Mexico (DACA45-03-D-0005). The primary objectives of the survey were to revisit and update previously recorded archaeological...
An Archeological Overview and Assessment of Homestead National Monument of America, Gage County, Nebraska (2005)
This document provides an archeological overview and assessment of Homestead National Monument of America in Gage County, Nebraska. The study was completed under the terms of a purchase order and scope-of-work issued by the Midwest Archeological Center, National Park Service in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Botanical Resources: Corn (1985)
The corn dataset was used in association with an intensive botanical study designed to identify different varieties of corn in the assemblage of corn cobs and plant fragments recovered in the course of DAP fieldwork. The variables in this dataset contain information and measurements pertaining to the number or rows of kernels on an ear, its shape and size, and various details about glumes, cupules, and kernels. Variables for the CORN10 dataset have been described by Wilshusen et al. (1999);...
Botanical Resources: Pollen (1985)
The pollen dataset contains basic provenience data for each pollen sample collected. These data are accompanied by taxonomic classification and the grain count per taxon. Detailed locational information can be obtained by linking this dataset with the provenience dataset. Variables for the corn dataset have already been described by Wilshusen et al. (1999). In most cases, their descriptions are suitable for use as metadata and have been repeated almost verbatim here. Selected resources from the...

On July 15, 1983, the chairman of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) ratified a programmatic memorandum of agreement among the Arizona and New Mexico State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs), the Bureau of Reclamation, and the ACHP. The subject of that agreement was the construction of the Central Arizona Project (CAP) and its impact upon historic properties. That agreement was negotiated in compliance with Section 2(b) of Executive Order 11593, "Protection and Enhancement...
Ceramics: Temporal-Spatial Dataset (1988)
The Additive Technologies Group (ATG) was responsible for supporting the broad research goals of the DAP through the implementation of mid-level research design governing the collection and analysis of data from “material culture that results from the technological combinations of a variety of raw materials” (Blinman 1986a:57). While these items include worked vegetal material (e.g., basketry and textiles), much of the work performed by the ATG relates to a large ceramic assemblage including...

Chronometric Dating (1985)
The results of chronometric analysis on special specimen samples collected for dating can be found in this dataset. Samples are linked to basic provenience data such as site and field specimen number. The temporal range for each sample will be indicated by variables for earliest and latest dates. These variables give the innermost and outermost dates of wood submitted for dendrochronological dating and their corresponding Tree-Ring Lab symbols indicating how close the date provided is to the...

Cottontail Procurement (1987)
Flint and Neusius’ (1987) examination of the assemblage of cottontail remains from the Dolores Anasazi faunal record is an especially good example of synthetic research contributions to DAP research. Their study utilized the subset of the DAP faunal assemblage contained within the BUNNY10 dataset (Flint and Neusius 1987:257). Since the two species of cottontail utilized by the Dolores Anasazi have distinct habitat preferences, their relative abundances provided an opportunity to track patterns...

Cultural Resource Survey for the ID 46 kV Powerline Upgrade Project, Bernalillo County, New Mexico (1994)
Cultural Resources Inventory of a 17,428 ft (5,312 m), 328 ft (100 m) corridor centered on the extant ID 46 kV powerline located a total of 18 archaeological sites and 17 isolated occurrences. Sites include 10 newly recorded sites and eight previously recorded sites. Class I site file searches had indicated that as many as 21 previously recorded sites might occur within the project corridor. These searches also revealed that considerable confusion existed as to site location and condition....
Cultural Resources Inventory of the Oyster Point Tract (2005)
