Uplands Complex Data: Decorated Ceramics from All Contexts

Part of the Roosevelt Platform Mound Study: Report and Data Sets on the Uplands Complex (DRAFT) project

Creator(s): Archaeological Research Institute, Arizona State University

Year: 1997

Summary

The Uplands Complex Data tables provide a summary of the artifacts recovered during Arizona State University (ASU), Office of Cultural Resource Management's (OCRM) Roosevelt Platform Mound Study (RPMS) research at 52 sites located in four study areas in the bajadas and foothill-transition zone that surround and define the Tonto Basin.The Uplands Complex table Decorated Ceramics from All Contexts presents a summary of decorated ceramic vessels recovered from all investigated contexts (both screened and unscreened) at Uplands Complex sites.

The table lists archaeological sites and designated archaeological contexts - strata - at each site. 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. In this table, the archaeological contexts - strata - are identified by a combination of numbering systems: the ASM site number, a colon, the feature number, and the stratum letter designation (EX: U:3:198:006A, U:3:198:006B). 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 "?". Artifacts from each feature (or mixed context) are tallied according to strata. Please see column metadata for further detail. Please also see the Uplands Complex Strata data tables for further data about each stratum, including the assigned stratum type, at the following tDAR urls:

https://core.tdar.org/dataset/394289

https://core.tdar.org/dataset/394288

The table then provides the frequency (count) of individual vessels assigned to different decorated ceramic types for each stratum. Note that the table presents a count of individual vessels (i.e., groups of sherds or single sherds assigned to individual vessels) identified to decorated ceramic type. More specifically, it presents a count of rim sherds that were assigned to a single vessel (The Stage 2 Ceramic Decorated/Intrusive analysis examined rim sherds to determine ceramic type for individually designated vessels).

The Uplands Complex Data tables were originally published in the Roosevelt Platform Mound Monograph Series No. 5 titled "Classic Period Settlement in the Uplands of Tonto Basin, Roosevelt Platform Mound Study: Report on the Uplands Complex." The tables were published in an appendix at the end of the volume. Please see the report volume at the following tDAR URL: https://core.tdar.org/document/394286

Stratum Identifies a major natural or cultural depositional event such as erosional fill, roof fall, floor contexts, and sterile substrate (i.e., a single archaeological context in both horizontal and vertical space). Strata are depicted as horizontal rows of interconnected boxes on a Harris Matrix. This table contains data from multiple sites with multiple features and associated strata. Thus, in this table, a stratum is identified by combining several numbering systems: an ASM site number, a colon, a feature number, and a stratum letter designation. EX: U:3:198:006A, U:3:198:006B A stratum is a combination of an individual feature and a context in or associated with that feature. For example, Feature 10 might be a structure with an erosonial fill stratum, a roof fall stratum, a floor stratum, and a sterile substrate stratum. Within each 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 levels excavated in a feature were aggregated into individual feature strata (e.g., Levels 1 - 3 = Stratum A). A feature's stratum letters are assigned in descending order. A context letter of "?" designates a mixed level or context or artifacts collected out of context. Examples: 0? = General Cultural Fill/No Feature and Indeterminate context 10A = Feature 10 and Context A 10B = Feature 10 and Context B 10C = Feature 10 and Context C 22? = Feature 22 and Mixed and/or Undefined context 22A - Feature 22 and Context A Each stratum (e.g., 10C) is assigned to a stratum type. The stratum data are presented in separate strata data tables. Please see the Uplands Complex Strata data tables at the following tDAR urls: https://core.tdar.org/dataset/394287 https://core.tdar.org/dataset/394290 https://core.tdar.org/dataset/394289 https://core.tdar.org/dataset/394288 Examples: 10A = Feature 10 and Context A = Feature 10, erosional fill 10B = Feature 10 and Context B = Feature 10, roof fall 10C = Feature 10 and Context C = Feature 10, floor Artifacts collected from each feature are tallied according to strata. For example, artifacts collected from Feature 10 are tallied for Stratum A, Stratum B, Stratum C, etc.

The Stage 2 Ceramic Decorated/Intrusive analysis examined rim sherds assigned to the same (i.e., individually recognized) vessels to determine ceramic ware and type. Thus, this table records rim sherds assigned to single vessels. The Pinedale design style was in used in multiple ceramic wares across the American Southwest through time.The Pinedale stylistic tradition was defined by the following characteristics (A Laboratory Plan for Salado Research, pp. 3-34 -- 3-36): multiple line widths large opposed solid & hatched interlocking elements (whole design field) solid elements equal in size to hatched elements edges of linear motifs show complicated steps & barbs. internal elaboration of triangular, curvilinear, and rectangular motifs with dots, dotted lines, parallel lines, and squiggled lines double banding lines small pendant birds or parrots emerge from elaborate triangles on some Cedar Creek Poly, framing lines are twice as wide as hatchure

White Mountain Red Ware Frequency of individual vessels that were identified to the decorated ceramic ware White Mountain Red Ware. Rim sherd stylistic elements could not be identified to a type. The Stage 2 Ceramic Decorated/Intrusive analysis examined rim sherds assigned to the same (i.e., individually recognized) vessels to determine ceramic ware and type. Thus, this table records rim sherds assigned to single vessels.

Pinedale B/W Frequency of individual vessels that were identified to the decorated ceramic ware and type Cibola White Ware, Pinedale Black-on-white. The Stage 2 Ceramic Decorated/Intrusive analysis examined rim sherds assigned to the same (i.e., individually recognized) vessels to determine ceramic ware and type.

Gila Poly. Frequency of individual vessels that were identified to the decorated ceramic ware and type Salado Wares (Roosevelt Red Wares), Gila Polychrome. The Stage 2 Ceramic Decorated/Intrusive analysis examined rim sherds assigned to the same (i.e., individually recognized) vessels to determine ceramic ware and type. Thus, this table records rim sherds assigned to single vessels.

Site The archaeological sites from which the decorated ceramics were recovered. In this table, sites are identified by an Arizona State Museum (ASM) site number. Arizona State Museum numbers begin with the designation "AZ." They then use a three-part numbering system. A letter, beginning with "A" and continuing to "FF", designates one of many arbitrary rectangles that divide the state into rectangular units, each of which includes 16 U.S.G.S topographic maps in a 15-minute series. The letter is followed by a number that refers to a 15-minute series map in a given rectangular unit. The numbers begin with 1 in the northwest corner and continue to 16 in the southeast corner. The map number is followed by a site number, which are allocated sequentially within a 15-minute series map. Each of these elements are separated by colons. At the end of the number, it is customary to provide a short-hand for the state institution that assigned the number (e.g., ASM, ASU, NAU), as several institutions have assigned site numbers throughout Arizona. EX: AZ U:8:23(ASM) Site AZ U:8:23(ASM) also has a a Tonto National Forest site number: AR-03-12-06-177. Please see the Roosevelt Platform Mound Study Site Concordance Table to match the ASM number(s) to the Tonto National Forest number(s).
