The Roosevelt Platform Mound Study (RPMS) was one of three mitigative data recovery studies that the Bureau of Reclamation funded to investigate the prehistory of the Tonto Basin in the vicinity of Theodore Roosevelt Dam. The series of investigations constituted Reclamation's program for complying with historic preservation legislation as it applied to the raising and modification of Theodore Roosevelt Dam. Reclamation contracted with the Arizona State University Office of Cultural Resource...

The RMPS Database is the centralized database for project information and for excavation and laboratory results. This relational database stores two primary data types and the relationships among them. It houses RPMS provenience data (i.e., where artifacts and samples were located horizontally and vertically within the archaeological contexts). The database also contains information about the artifacts and sample collected during the archaeological investigation. The database structure centers...

This project presents a series of publications associated with the Salt-Gila Aqueduct Archaeological Data Collection Studies and Supplemental Class III Survey Project (SGA). The research focused on data recovery at those sites potentially subject to impact as a consequence of Central Arizona Project construction. Salt-Gila Aqueduct Central Arizona Project construction occured along a route extending 97 km from a point south of Apache Junction, Arizona, to the Picacho Reservoir. Significant...

A site examination of the Col. James Barrett Farm in Concord,Massachusetts, in 2007, provided evidence for significant late 18th and early to mid 19th-century landscaping activities around the standing house and discovered and tested a mid-19th century primary ceramic trash deposit. The property is historically significant because of Col. James Barrett’s association with the American Revolution, the well-preserved early 18th-century architecture, and the continuous history of the land as a...

This report is about 58 archaeological sites located in and around an expansive desert basin known as the Santa Cruz Flats, located south of the Gila River. None of these sites are large. The biggest among them had only three, widely separated houses. Most of them had no houses, and the majority lacked material remains except for a mere scattering of artifacts now perched on the modern ground surface. Several of the sites included occupations dated to the modern, Historic, Euro-American era,...

Stage 2 site evaluations and excavations at three remnant nineteenth-early twentieth century dairy farms, designated as Farms 3, 4 and 5, on the Verona Research Facility in Oneida County, New York. Stage 1B shovel tests at these farmsteads revealed concentrations of artifacts and evidence of structural features that prompted additional testing procedures. Much of the Stage 2 cultural material was derived from disturbed feature contexts at all three farmsteads, including damaged concrete...

This document presents the results of fieldwork and a plan for additional work at sites within a proposed realignment in the City of Peoria, Arizona. During an archaeological survey of the proposed realignment, AZ T:8:86 (ASM) was identified as a Hohokam artifact scatter, and was found to be potentially eligible for inclusion to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under Criterion D (Ryden et al. 1998). Avoidance of the site was recommended; archaeological testing was recommended if...

The Tonto Creek Archaeological Project (TCAP) area was located in the Tonto Basin of east-central Arizona. The project, funded by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) was undertaken by Desert Archaeology in advance of the 1994-1996 realignment of Arizona State Route 188. The area available for investigation was a 61-m-wide (200-ft) corridor centered on the planned route for the realigned highway. The corridor followed a 13.3-km (8-mi) stretch of the western terrace overlooking Tonto...

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. A small creek deposited the fan at the edge of the steep, western bluffs of the central Illinois River valley. The site offered immediate access to forested uplands and upland prairie to the west...

There are a number of problesm that must be resoloved in order to identify and delimit archaeological units of analysis that accurately correspond to past occupations. The general problem is to make operational definitions for concepts that are used and useful for intepretations about past human behavior or cultural systems. For the Cape Cod Archaeological Survey, an operational unit labeled "concentration" was used to subdivide archaeological site areas into smaller, more internally...

This paper examines the use history of roomblocks within a Post-Chacoan era (circa AD 1225 – 1275) community in the El Morro Valley, New Mexico. It estimates the resident population and calculates the occupation span of LZ 1209 and LZ 1204 in the Los Gigantes site cluster, a group of more than a dozen residential roomblocks dating to the late Pueblo III period. The roomblocks were subjected to an intensive stratified random sampling procedure modeled after the Sand Canyon Small Site Testing...

Volume 1, Part 2 summarizes archaeological data recovery and results of work at four sites (CTC, Two Farms, Middendrum, and Dam View) located in area south of Bartlett Dam along the lower Verde River. Originally, the research plan outlined a testing program for a sample of seven sites in the area. Flooding and associated erosion along the Verde River during the field season made it almost impossible to support excavation crews at the small sites situated on narrow remnants of terraces on the...
