Roosevelt Platform Mound Study: Rock Island Complex

Part of: Roosevelt Platform Mound Study (RPMS): Artifact Tables

This collection contains data sets related to four sites located in the Rock Island Complex at the confluence of Tonto Creek and the Salt River. Although the waters of Roosevelt Lake, a man-made reservoir, have created islands in this area, none of these sites were on islands in the prehistoric past. Most of the reporting and data describe the Bass Point platform mound site, U:8:23/177, located at Bass Point on the southernmost portion of Rock Island. One other site is also located on Bass Point; U:8:391/970 on its northern end is a single structure. Site U:8:392/862 is a broad area of petroglyphs on Bass Point, as well as to the west on the main part of Rock Island. The fourth site, U:8:400/863, has a room block and is situated on what is now a small island west of Rock Island and south of Rabbit Island.

  • Rock Island Complex Data, AZ U:8:400(ASM): Strata (1995)
    DATASET Archaeological Research Institute, Arizona State University.

    The strata represent major natural or cultural depositional events such as erosional fill, roof fall, floor contexts, and sterile substrate. Strata are depicted as horizontal rows of interconnected boxes on a Harris Matrix. Within a feature, each stratum is designated by the feature number (e.g., 10, 11, 12, etc.) and a letter that designates a particular stratum (e.g., A, B, C). The letters are assigned in descending order. Mixed levels and artifacts collected out of context are designated by a...
