Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-052: Archaeomagnetic Dating-1979

Author(s): J. H. Hathaway; Jeffrey L. Eighmy

Year: 1982

Summary

The 1979 archaeomagnetic sampling program involved the recovery of 61 archaeomagnetic samples from 17 Dolores Archaeological Program (D.A.P.) area sites. Results from analysis of these samples were used not only to aid in the chronological interpretation of the excavated sites, but also to refine the field and laboratory methodology employed by the sampling program. An attempt was made to refine the current Southwest master curve (Weaver [1], Dubois [2]) in order to increase its usefulness and applicability in the project area. Auxiliary studies conducted during the 1979 season included soil analyses, intended to demonstrate the relationship between soil characteristics and archaeomagnetic sample quality; and experimental kiln firings, intended to provide temperature and date controls for other samples recovered from a variety of contexts in the D.A.P. area.

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.
