Sacred or Secular: Religious Materiality on the French Colonial Frontier (2011)
My research examines archaeologically recovered artifacts and documentary sources to gain an understanding of the role that religious material culture played on the French colonial frontier, ca. 1608-1763. This study revisits the claims made by Rinehart (1990), stating that religious items are more likely to be recovered from the archaeological record at sites near Jesuit missions. I examined a large portion of the French colonial archaeological literature and located 30 sites that have yielded...

A Sample Survey: Cultural Resources On Potential Agricultural Development Lands On the Gila River Indian Reservation (1984)
In 1982, Northland Research, Inc. performed a small fraction sample survey of potential agricultural development lands on the Gila River Indian Reservation. The sample was selected probabilistically. Results suggest that, within the probability limits of the sampling design, as much as 59,687 ± 21,272 acres of land within the 296,320 acre target area could contain significant archaeological remains requiring attention in any future development plan. In addition, it was possible to calculate...
Samples (1985)
Wilshusen et al. (1999) indicate that this dataset should be viewed as a comprehensive inventory of DAP samples by type and number. Samples were collected for a variety of reasons including chronometric dating, environmental and geological studies, and special documentation. Obtaining the results of their analysis requires users to consult other DAP datasets. Variables in the samples dataset have already been described by Wilshusen et al. (1999); see especially the section entitled "Samples" by...
