Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-036: The 1979 Testing Program

Author(s): Nancy J. Hewitt

Year: 1983

Summary

During the 1979 field season of the Dolores Archaeological Program, nine sites were partially excavated as part of a testing program. This program was initiated to supplement data obtained from fully excavated sites. Specifically, this program was designed to provide additional information about the occupation of the Sagehen Flats Locality of the Dolores Project area during the Sagehen Phase which is comparable to the Basketmaker III-Pueblo I period. Each site investigated as part of this program was subjected to standard testing procedures that were designed to extract a considerable amount of data without expending the time and effort that is required for intensive excavation. Investigation of these sites revealed that five of them were limited activity sites and four were hamlets; all were occupied or used during the Sagehen Phase.

Originally the information in this record was migrated into tDAR from the National Archaeological Database Reports Module (NADB-R) and updated. In 2015, as part of its effort to improve tDAR content, the Center for Digital Antiquity uploaded a copy of the document and further improved the record metadata.
