Summary

The Dolores Archaeological Program (D.A.P.) Field Manual was conceived during several seminar sessions held in the fall of 1978. The purpose of the manual is to set forth in clear and concise language standard procedures to be employed when intensively excavating prehistoric sites as part of comprehensive mitigation efforts undertaken by the program. To this end the field manual now contains detailed discussions of preliminary operations, record keeping, sampling techniques, special excavation procedures, and administration, as well as brief presentations on how to treat certain artifact classes. A section on archaeomagnetic sampling techniques and a glossary are also included. The manual in its present form is not intended to be a finished document; it is anticipated that modifications and additions will result from field applications and feedback and from recently hired personnel with expertise in specialized areas.
