SHESC: Arizona State University Anthropological Research Papers

Part of: School of Human Evolution and Social Change

Established in 1969 and published under Arizona Board of Regents copyright, the Arizona State University Anthropological Research Papers (ARP) was a peer-reviewed monograph series dedicated to the publication of original monograph-length single-authored or collected works concerned with topics generally regarded as anthropological in nature. All aspects of anthropology were considered for publication; there were no geographical or subdisciplinary restrictions.

Part of the mission of the School of Human Evolution and Social Change (SHESC) at Arizona State University, is to create and share new knowledge with the world. The faculty and alumni of SHESC produced the Anthropological Research Papers series so that wide audiences could learn about the latest anthropological research findings and the resulting applications to society. Most recently edited by Geoffrey A. Clark, there are 60 monographs in this collection.

    DOCUMENT Full-Text James B. Rodgers.

    The following report contains the description and interpretation of archaeological data recovered from AZ T: 8:31 (ASU), AZ T:8:35 (ASU), and AZ T:8:38 (ASU). Situated within south-central Arizona, these sites form an integral part of the Cave Creek Archaeological District. Impact on these cultural resources will result from the construction along Reach 10 of the Granite Reef Aqueduct, a feature of the Central Arizona Project. A plan to mitigate this adverse impact through a program of research...

  • Archaeological Investigations At AZ U:6:61 (ASU), a Prehistoric Limited Activity Site In South-Central Arizona (1980)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Patricia E. Brown. A. E. Rogge.

    This report documents the archaeological investigations at AZ U:6:61 (ASU), an extensive artifact scatter on a Quaternary river terrace above the Salt River in south-central Arizona. The study involved the technological and functional analysis of the lithic assemblage and the statistical analysis of the spatial distribution of artifacts and features within the site area. The distribution of artifacts also was examined in the non-site portions of the study area. The analyses indicate that the...

    An Archaeological survey in the Cave Creek drainage was undertaken as the result of a contract agreement to assess the archaeological resource base of the proposed Cave Buttes Dam Alternative Site and Reservoir. The research strategy was operationalized by implementing a rigorous sampling program designed to extract a representative sample of existing prehistoric remains. The research area coincided generally with an open creosote terrace and the 50 percent positive recovery of archaeological...
