The linked provenience category is an organized way to describe how a feature was excavated, and where artifacts were found within that feature. The categories are numerically based in order to systematically define excavation strategy and the execution of that strategy. Each vertical and horizontal strategy is denoted with a corresponding number---for example horizontal excavation strategies are broken down into whole study unit, locus, segment, half, strip, quadrant, etc. (Wilshusen et al....

The Lower Verde Archaeological Project (LVAP) was a four-year data recovery project conducted by Statistical Research, Inc. (SRI) in the lower Verde River region of central Arizona. The project was designed to mitigate any adverse effects to cultural resources from modifications to Horseshoe and Bartlett Dams. The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Arizona Project’s Office sponsored the research program in compliance with historic preservation legislation. The LVAP’s...

The Lower Zuni River Archaeological District is located approximately 39 km (24 miles) northeast of St. Johns, Arizona where the Zuni River crosses the Arizona-New Mexico state line (Figures 1 and 2). Within this district are 89 archaeological sites that represent extensive prehistoric occupation of the area between about A.D. 800 and A.D. 1175, and historic use and occupation dating from the 1880s. A wide range of prehistoric site types are represented. Several ceramic and lithic...

The DAP research design was structured to systematically address broad domains of inquiry that encompass economy and adaptation, paleodemography, social organization, extra-regional relationships, and cultural process. The variables used in the botanical datasets represent the various lines of evidence needed to mitigate “bioturbation, preservation, and sampling biases” and establish the “case for cultural association of botanical remains preserved in the archaeological record” (Petersen, Clay...

Sediment from an area of ashy fill mixed with charcoal pulled from the road bed in an area of a pipeline trespass at site LA 169200 in southeastern New Mexico was examined for macrofloral remains. Charcoal fragments recovered from the sample were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. This site is a dispersed surface artifact scatter with five associated hearth features containing fire-cracked rock and lithic artifacts. Four of the five diagnostic projectile points recovered from this site...

Soil samples from between and below two stacked metates sitting atop a hearth at site 5WL6465 in northeastern Colorado were examined for macrofloral remains. Charcoal fragments recovered from the samples were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. This site is a multicomponent site containing diagnostic projectile points from the Middle Archaic (3000-1000 B.C.) and Late Prehistoric (A.D. 150-1540), as well as ceramics from the Middle Ceramic (A.D. 1150-1540). Macrofloral analysis is used to...

Fill from a hearth with fire-cracked rock at site 48AB1878 in southeast Wyoming was floated to recover charred macrofloral remains. This site is a multicomponent site with chipped stone tools and debitage, fire-cracked rock scatters, and diagnostic artifacts from the Middle and Late Archaic periods as well as the Late Prehistoric period (Adams 2009). Sagebrush charcoal from the hearth returned a date of 2940 ± 40 BP (Beta 263534). Macrofloral analysis will be used to provide subsistence...

This is an Arizona Site Steward file for the Mano Mama site, located on Tonto National Forest land. The site is comprised of an Archaic lithic scatter; Preclassic Hohokam pit houses; Classic Hohokam compound, field house, and terraces; 1880s wagon road; and pre-WWII trash scatter. The file consists of two heritage inventory forms and a map of the site location. The oldest dated document is from 2000.

A small percentage of the maps reproduced from field data can be found in the series of published DAP reports, but a much larger collection of original material can be accessed via the Anasazi Heritage Center, Colorado. The maps dataset allows users to easily know what maps are available for any provenience. Maps were sequentially numbered within each site and later classified as one of 47 taxa, according to the type of information the map was meant to convey. Documenting the contents of a site...

The Mesoamerican Radiocarbon (MesoRAD) database compiles published radiocarbon dates and isotopic data from archaeological sites in across Mesoamerica. Mesoamerica as a culture region is defined by shared cultural traits that span the areas of northern, central, and southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and parts of El Salvador and Nicaragua. In its final form, we hope that the database can be used as an open-access repository that will facilitate collaborative studies in the...

This report presents the results of a remote sensing survey in support of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District project to dredge sand from the Canaveral Shoals II borrow area and stockpile the sand on the beach at Spessard Holland South Beach Park for secondary transport by truck to Brevard Mid-Reach beach located approximately midway between Port Canaveral and Sebastian Inlet. Fieldwork identified two targets consisting of anomaly clusters considered to have the potential to...

Shell-bearing sites along the Middle Cumberland River, Tennessee. The Middle Cumberland River valley stretches from the confluence of the Cumberland River with the Obey River past Ashland City to the mouth of the Harpeth River. The Cumberland River is fed by major tributaries including the Obey, Caney Fork, Stones, and Harpeth rivers, as well as numerous higher order streams. The watershed of the Middle Cumberland River valley drains the northern portion of the Central Basin and the northeastern...

Archaeology is faced with the inherent problem of managing legacy datasets. Often these datasets are in a state of disrepair, thus rendering them almost useless and difficult to properly archive or to integrate into the current archaeological dialogue. Unfortunately, this is a common issue and there is not much literature on the subject. To address this dilemma, an examination of the condition of the paper documents of a legacy dataset is needed. In this research, I will review the preservation...

This project includes faunal remains collected during the 1984 excavations at Modoc Rock Shelter (11R5). The 1984 archaeological excavation was directed by Drs. Bonnie Styles (Illinois State Museum) and Melvin Fowler (University of Wisconsin Milwaukee). Steven Ahler of the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee served as the field director. Funding was provided by National Science Foundation collaborative grants to the Illinois State Museum Society and the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee with...

Unit D was excavated in an elevated non-sheltered area between the Main Shelter and the West Shelter (the latter was excavated earlier, in 1980). Unit D shows that the two shelters areas at Modoc have independent and separate stratigraphies, and that they need to be treated as two sites. Faunal remains were recovered via 1/4" waterscreen and 1/16 " waterscreen. Remains include vertebrates, freshwater mussels, and gastropods. Faunal remains were identified by Mona Colburn using the...
