The author investigates Plains-Pueblo exchange using macroscopic petrographic data regarding the temper of Glaze Ware sherds recovered from 63 archaeological sites on the Llano Estacado escarpment of the Texas Panhandle. The sites are in two geographic areas commonly associated with distinct archaeological complexes, Tierra Blanca and Garza. The results of the analysis suggest that Plains groups maintained highly exclusive trade ties with specific Pueblos and that the geographic directionality...

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...

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,...

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...

This is the final synthetic report of the Dolores Archaeological Project. It includes an overview of the project itself, as well as final reports from the additive and reductive technologies, and environmental archaeology groups. The final report also includes summation of the prehistorical context for the Dolores River Valley and modeling, resource, and population studies. Information on the various technologies---lithics, ceramics, and facilities---are also examined. This report also...

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...

During archaeological monitoring of highway construction at site 48SW8319 in 1991, the remains of a single modern horse, Equus caballus, were uncovered by heavy construction equipment. The site is located next to the Blacks Fork River in Sweetwater County. The site lies in the Green River geomorphic basin (also known as the Bridger Basin) of southwestern Wyoming, on the east side of the Blacks Fork River near the head of Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Gravel deposits are present in the terrace and...

The results of this survey is the first attempt to create such a model which attempts to empirically identify, measure, analyze, and then interpret the cultural resources discovered within a portion of the south-central Great Basin region. This survey will be undertaken within an ethnoarchaeological approach.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Perspectives from the Study of Early Colonial Encounter in North America: Is it time for a “revolution” in the study of colonialism?" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper will explore the response of prehistoric communities who rapidly become consumers in continent spanning economies. Using as case studies the Maritime Peninsula of Eastern North America in the 17th century AD and the northern...

What lies beneath the vacant lots of the Barrio Libre? This old barrio lies on the south side of the downtown core of Tucson and has been occupied as a primarily Mexican- American neighborhood for 100 years. During the Historic period, the Barrio Libre has been home to thousands of people, many of whom have left behind the physical traces of their lives in the form of architectural remains and artifacts. Archaeological excavations of homes, businesses, and the trash created and disposed of by...

Between December 2000 and June 2005 Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) of Tempe, Arizona, completed five field sessions of archaeological monitoring, testing/data recovery I, and data recovery II. The entire airport is highly modified by grading, modern fill, paving, and building; thus, the ground surface offers few clues to what lies beneath. However, the airport is bounded by known historic and prehistoric archaeological sites, including Pueblo Salado to the immediate west and...

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...
