Book Context and Evaluation of Historical Sites in the Prado Basin

Download or read book Context and Evaluation of Historical Sites in the Prado Basin written by Roberta S. Greenwood and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document combines a context evaluation report with assessment of the historical sites within the Prado Basin, a study area defined by the elevation of 566 feet amsl. The historical context of the cultural resources is set forth in a general overview, augmented by more detailed discussion of such topics as transportation, water systems, and architecture. These were selected from the range of historical themes to illustrate the current level of understanding, apparent data gaps, and explicit questions generated which warrant further study and which are used, in turn, in considering the potential research value of each site. On the basis of all prior historical studies, test excavations, remote sensing, and updated field inspections, each known site was evaluated for its eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places in terms of its integrity and potential to yield important information pertinent to the research design. The study concludes with a recommendation that Prado Basin be nominated to the National Register as an historical district, and other suggestions for the management of significant historical properties.

Book Assessing Site Significance

Download or read book Assessing Site Significance written by Donald L. Hardesty and published by Rowman Altamira. This book was released on 2009-03-16 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessing Site Significance is an invaluable resource for archaeologists and others who need guidance in determining whether sites are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Because the register's eligibility criteria were largely developed for standing sites, it is difficult to know in any particular case whether a site known primarily through archaeological work has sufficient 'historical significance' to be listed. Hardesty and Little address these challenges, describing how to file for NRHP eligibility and how to determine the historical significance of archaeological properties. This second edition brings everything up to date, and includes new material on 17th- and 18th-century sites, traditional cultural properties, shipwrecks, Japanese internment camps, and military properties.

Book Catalysts to Complexity

  • Author : Jon Erlandson
  • Publisher : Cotsen Institute of Archaeology Press
  • Release : 2003-07-01
  • ISBN : 1938770676
  • Pages : 385 pages

Download or read book Catalysts to Complexity written by Jon Erlandson and published by Cotsen Institute of Archaeology Press. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Spanish colonized it in AD 1769, the California Coast was inhabited by speakers of no fewer than 16 distinct languages and an untold number of small, autonomous Native communities. These societies all survived by foraging, and ethnohistoric records show a wide range of adaptations emphasizing a host of different marine and terrestrial foods. Many groups exhibited signs of cultural complexity including sedentism, high population density, permanent social inequality, and sophisticated maritime technologies. The ethnographic era was preceded by an archaeological past that extends back to the terminal Pleistocene. Essays in this volume explore the last three and one half millennia of this long history, focusing on the archaeological signatures of emergent cultural complexity. Organized geographically, they provide an intricate mosaic of archaeological, historic, and ethnographic findings that illuminate cultural changes over time. To explain these Late Holocene cultural developments, the authors address issues ranging from culture history, paleoenvironments, settlement, subsistence, exchange, ritual, power, and division of labor, and employ both ecological and post-modern perspectives. Complex cultural expressions, most highly developed in the Santa Barbara Channel and the North Coast, are viewed alternatively as fairly recent and abrupt responses to environmental flux or the end-product of gradual progressions that began earlier in the Holocene.

Book Dam Projects and the Growth of American Archaeology

Download or read book Dam Projects and the Growth of American Archaeology written by Kimball M Banks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Smithsonian Institution’s River Basin Surveys and the Interagency Archeological Salvage Program were the most ambitious archaeological projects ever undertaken in the United States. Administered by the National Park Service from 1945–1969, the programs had profound effects—methodological, theoretical, and historical—on American archaeology, many of which are still being felt today. They stimulated the public’s interest in heritage preservation, led to the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act, served as the model for rescue archaeology in other countries, and helped launch the “New Archaeology.” This book examines the impacts of these two programs on the development of American archaeology.

Book Uncovering Identity in Mortuary Analysis

Download or read book Uncovering Identity in Mortuary Analysis written by Michael P Heilen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a sophisticated set of archival, forensic, and excavation methods to identify both individuals and group affiliations—cultural, religious, and organizational—in a multiethnic historical cemetery. Based on an extensive excavation project of more than 1,000 nineteenth-century burials in downtown Tucson, Arizona, the team of historians, archaeologists, biological anthropologists, and community researchers created an effective methodology for use at other historical-period sites. Comparisons made with other excavated cemeteries strengthens the power of this toolkit for historical archaeologists and others. The volume also sensitizes archaeologists to the concerns of community and cultural groups to mortuary excavation and outlines procedures for proper consultation with the descendants of the cemetery’s inhabitants.
