From June to September 1989, Statistical Research conducted a non-collection Class II cultural resources survey of 5,200 acres within the R2301W segment of the Barry M. Goldwater Range in Yuma County, Arizona. The areas targeted for survey conformed to topographic surfaces on which archaeologists had found sites in the past. These areas were concentrated in the Baker Peaks and northern Copper Mountain regions as well as the eastern flanks of the Tinajas Altas and Gila Mountain ranges. The...

An archaeological survey was conducted on approximately 1,447 acres of property situated within Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB), Bernalillo County, New Mexico. This survey was conducted on the Burn Site, New Cable Site, and portions of the surrounding area for Sandia National Laboratories (SNL). This inventory yielded one previously recorded and 40 newly discovered cultural resource sites and 80 isolated occurrences (IOs). One previously recorded site was not relocated. Twenty-six of the...

DAP-106: Excavations at Chindi Hamlet (Site 5MT4684), a Basketmaker III habitation site (1983)
Site 5MT4684, Chindi Hamlet, is a small hamlet located 400 miles west of the Dolores River in Montezuma County, Colorado. Excavations at the site by the Dolores Archaeological Project began on May 27, 1980 and finished on October 14, 1980. These investigations resulted in the discovery and recording of two typical Basketmaker III pithouses, one atypical pithouse, and two surface structures. Pithouses 1 and 2 were oriented north-south and were excavated individually as two pitstructures. Pithouse...

The Dolores Archaeological Program
From 1978 until 1985 the University of Colorado contracted with the Bureau of Reclamation (Contract No. 8-07-40-S0562) to mitigate the adverse impact of a large water impoundment project on the cultural resources in the project area. This complex and evolving long-term mitigation plan known as the Dolores Archaeological Program (DAP) has been called a “truly unique chapter in American archaeology” (Breternitz 1993:118) and was applauded by Lipe (1998:2) for its ability to “increase the power and...
The Dolores Archaeological Program (1979)
The University of Colorado was awarded the contract in the spring of 1978 by the Bureau of Reclamation to conduct historical and archaeological fieldwork and analysis before the area was impacted by construction activities. The four corners area contains evidence of use and occupation by Paleoindian, Archaic, and Shoshonean-Athabasean individuals. By the presentation of this paper, 850 sites were recorded by the Dolores Archaeological project that were going to be impacted by construction, and...
Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-001: Introduction to Field Investigations and Analysis (1981)
In 1978, the University of Colorado began field operations for the Dolores Project Cultural Resources Mitigation Program. The Bureau of Reclamation funded the Program before constructing a multipurpose water storage and distribution system on the Dolores River. Before field investigations, a general research design was formulated that had five major problem domains: economy and adaptation, paleodemography, social organization and settlement pattern, foreign relationships, and cultural process,...
Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-059: Additive Technologies Group Midlevel Research Design (1983)
The Dolores Archaeological Program's Additive Technologies Group analyzes ceramic and worked vegetal artifacts. Preliminary analyses are carried out for each material class to provide descriptive data for inventory control and field reports. Ceramic data includes the temper classification, technological attributes, typological affiliation, and vessel form. Worked vegetal artifacts data include the technological attributes and material identifications. Both preliminary and intensive analyses were...
Dolores Archaeological Program: Synthetic Report (1986)
The Dolores Project was a large water-impoundment project constructed by the Bureau of Reclamation in southwestern Colorado. From 1978 until 1985 the University of Colorado contracted with the Bureau of Reclamation (Contract No. 8-07-40-S0562) to mitigate the adverse effects of the Dolores Project on the cultural resources in the project area; Washington State University was the major subcontractor. The mitigation program was called the Dolores Archaeological Program (DAP). This volume presents...
Dolores Archaeological Program: Synthetic Report 1978-1981 (1984)
The "Dolores Archaeological Program: Synthetic Report 1978-1981" is the second publication in a series of reports by the Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Department of the Interior, on the findings of the Dolores Archaeological Program including excavation activities, and the preservation and analysis of newly discovered artifacts.
The Dolores Archaeological Project: In Memoriam (1993)
The Dolores Archaeological Project held a contract from the Bureau of Reclamation from June 1978 to December 1985. Breternitz demonstrates that although the archaeological investigations preceded the contact period, the failures, accomplishments, negative and positive aspects of the project, and comparisons with other major mitigation projects offer academic, methodological, and historical lessons which are instructive for projects in the future that are federally funded long-term mitigation...
The Dolores Legacy: A User's Guide to the Dolores Archaeological Program Data (1999)

This is highly recommended as a point of entry into the large and complex DAP datasets. It contains a general introduction to the DAP and its datasets, by Richard Wilshusen; an introduction to the provenience data and DAP temporal-spatial taxonomy and interpretations, by Christine Ward; brief descriptions of each of the major databases; an...
An Evaluation of Historic Cultural Resources in Relation to the Central Arizona Water Control Study (1984)
This is a final, summary report on historic cultural resources in relation to the Central Arizona Water Control Study (CAWCS). The objectives of the CAWCS were to identify and evaluate alternative measures for flood control and regulatory water storage in Central Arizona in conjunction with construction of the Central Arizona Project. Having considered numerous alternative plans to meet these objectives, the Bureau of Reclamation defined a preferred alternative (Plan...
Excavations at the Fence Site, AZ AA:16:97 (ASM), a Rillito Phase Farmstead in the Avra Valley, Pima County, Arizona (2012)
The slopes of the Avra Valley, lacking perennial water sources, would seem an unlikely place for a large prehistoric community. Yet during the Hohokam Colonial period (ca. A.D. 750-950), a community sprang up along the western slopes of the Tucson Mountains. Centered on the ballcourt village of Water World, AZ AA:16:94 (ASM), numerous households thrived in the area, both in the primary village and in outlying farmsteads (Czaplicki and Ravesloot 1988, 1989a, 1989b, 1989c; Dart 1994; Downum et....

Final Report for Plan 6 Supplemental Cultural Resource Surveys (1985)
This final report includes eight reports representing close to 6,000 acres of survey performed in the vicinity of the planned New Waddell Dam. The survey areas include locations for geologic test trenches, road relocations, borrow areas, spillways, and the Waddell Canal. These surveys yielded a total of 43 sites and 2018 loci of isolated artifacts. All but one of the sites were located in two borrow areas. These two study areas evidence differences in use of habitation, agriculture and artifact...
Flaked Lithic Debitage (1985)
The Reductive Technologies Group (RTG) was responsible for supporting the broad research goals of the DAP through the implementation of a mid-level research design governing the collection and analysis of data from “artifacts which were manufactured by reductive, or subtractive techniques” (Phagan 1986a:79). Independent datasets for each of the four preliminary analysis systems reflect the technological distinctions made between flaked lithic tools (FLT10a and FLT10b); the debitage created in...
