Archaeological Investigations Near Mobridge, South Dakota (1961)
During the months of July and August, 1956, excavations were conducted by a University of Wisconsin field party at four village sites on the Missouri River in the vicinity of Mobridge, South Dakota. The field work formed part of the salvage operations in this region which was soon to be flooded by water impounded behind a dam constructed near the city of Pierre. The selection of the sites for study was based on a brief reconnaissance of the area made in April, 1956, in the company of Paul L....
Archaeological Survey of Ten Installations of the 611th Air Support Group, Alaska Summer 2000 (2001)
The following describes an archaeological inventory of ten installations of the 611th Air Support Group in Alaska. This inventory encompassed the Air Force property surrounding the facilities at each installation. It was not an inventory or evaluation of the buildings and other structures themselves.

Excavations in the Southern Avra Valley: Results of the SAVSARP Project (2009)
The Southern Avra Valley Storage and Recovery Project (SAVSARP) project examined three sites, AZ AA:16:312 (ASM), AZ AA:16:468 (ASM), and AZ AA:16:469 (ASM), and a non-site artifact concentration, Locality A, on the floor of the Avra Valley. The surface manifestations of the sites mirrored those of other sites in the valley bottom, low-density artifact scatters covering broad expanses. Locales of higher artifact density were defined as archaeological sites, but surface artifacts continued...
Lithic Landscapes and Settlement Patterns: A Cultural Resources Survey of Alamo Lake, La Paz County, Arizona (1990)
In October and November, 1989, Statistical Research conducted an intensive cultural resources survey of approximately 2,400 acres at Alamo Reservoir under contract to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). The field reconnaissance documented 29 archaeological sites consisting of lithic quarries, artifact scatters, trails, rock features, and mining-related activities. An embedded concept of numerous activities occurring as a consequence of seasonal foraging was apparently utilized by...
Proposed Mead to Phoenix 500kV DC Transmission Line Project: Appendix D: Eastwing Substation and Westwing Substation Expansion: Archaeological Surveys (1983)
Two proposed substation site alternatives along the Agua Fria River were surveyed for archaeological resources by the Museum of Northern Arizona in December 1982. One small previously recorded potsherd concentration and a number of isolated artifacts were located within the Westwing area. An extensive Hohokam site was located within the Eastwing parcel, along with a segment of the historic Marinette Heading Canal. The Westwing substation alternative is strongly recommended in preference to the...
When Trash Becomes Treasure: A Postclassic Maya Obsidian Core Cache from Nojpeten (2014)
This paper examines an obsidian cache offering excavated near the corner of a Postclassic Maya platform structure in Nojpeten, on the island of Flores, Guatemala. The cache consists of approximately 190 obsidian prismatic blade cores and core fragments, but the original number of cores placed in the cache likely fell between 173 and 182, with a best estimate of 177, 178, or 180. The cores were found about 20 cm southwest of the structure in a circular concentration measuring approximately 35 cm...
