Basketmaker III to Pueblo I (Temporal Keyword)
1-8 (8 Records)
The Museum of Northern Arizona has prepared a revision to the work plans for the Coronado Station Coal Haul Railroad archaeological research project. Using sampling, the plan schedules some sites for full excavation, others for sample excavation, and still others for surface record and collection. Basically, the criteria for selection in any category of work was judgmental, considering factors of site condition and site content. Sites chosen for full excavation compliment data gathered at...

Pithouses and Placemaking on the Southern Colorado Plateau (2015)
Pithouse period settlement on the southern Colorado Plateau was the subject of vibrant research in the mid-twentieth century as Southwest archaeologists explored the validity of the Mogollon and Anasazi archaeological culture areas. In subsequent years the region became a laboratory for anthropology, as the rich data lent itself to studies of population dynamics in the famously heady days of New Archaeology. Since the mid-1970s, research on these first millennium A.D. sites has been confined to...
POLLEN ANALYSIS FOR THE DOVE CREEK CANAL REACH III PROJECT (5DLl12, 5DLl138, 5DL121B, AND 5DLl120), SOUTHWESTERN COLORADO (1989)
Thirty-three pollen samples from four sites on the Dove Creek Canal Reach III Project (sites SDLl12, 5DLl138, 5DL121B, and 5DLl120). Three sites represent Basketmaker III occupations, while the fourth is a late Basketmaker III/Pueblo I multi-component site. Samples were collected from floors, benches, and in association with groundstone to identify the subsistence base and address subsistence activities at these sites.
