The Dogs of Awatovi
A watovi is one of the most important Colonial Spanish sites in the New World. A Franciscan mission was established on Antelope Mesa in northern Arizona in 1629 and was maintained until 1701. This was the area of the first introduction of many of the European domestic animals among the pueblo Indians. Native dogs as well as the remains of the first recovered Spanish greyhound are discussed
Domestic Food Animals from Hubbell Trading Post
Very little is known from excavations in regard to animals associated with early territorial trading posts in Arizona. Hubbell Trading Post is one of the more important trading centers that has been in continual operation from the late 1800s to the present. Faunal remains from several test pits from the Hubbell era have been dug to determine what animals were utilized by the occupants of the post at that time. These forms are reported here and co…
Early Domestic Dogs in North America and Their Origins
Archaeologists have contributed much new information relating to types of domestic dogs that were present in pre-Columbian North America. Questions yet to be answered are: Where did the basal stock for these early Western Hemisphere dogs originate? What were they like morphologically? Some reported early canids, particularly those from late Pleistocene deposits, are subject to question as to their domestic role. These and related problems are dis…

The Macaws of Grasshopper Ruin
Macaws (Ara sp.) are known from prehistoric sites throughout much of the Southwest. These birds have particular importance as indicators of trade routes between the Southwestern pueblos and the cultural centers to the south of the present Arizona border. The natural range of the macaws is some 200 miles south of the Arizona-Mexico border. An unusual occurrence of a macaw-child burial is reported as are 15 macaw skeletons that have been collected …
The Domestic Animals of San Xavier Del Bac
Little is known and even less has been published regarding the kinds of domestic animals that were associated with Colonial Spanish settlements in the Southwest. Recent excavations of the Spanish mission, San Xavier del Bac, near Tucson, have produced domestic animal bones in a large enough quantity to allow for recording and evaluating these early introductions into Arizona
A Preliminary Report on the Fish and Herpetofauna of Grasshopper Ruin
Excavations at Grasshopper Ruin, Arizona, have yielded remains of fish and amphibians which indicate the presence of a permanent water supply near the pueblo during its occupation
Fish, Amphibian and Reptile Remains from Archaeological Sites. I, South-Eastern and Southwestern United States; Appendix
Canid Remains from Grasshopper Ruin
A small Indian dog, Canis familiaris, from Grasshopper Ruin, Arizona, and perhaps a larger form are discussed and compared with other dogs from southwestern sites. Remains of a gray fox, Urocyon cinereoargenteus scotti, and the southwestern coyote, Canis latrans mearnsi, were also collected from the ruins during the last two seasons of excavation
Military sites—Post—1700
A Seminole War Fort Site in Northern Florida
Finding sites of U.S. Army outposts of the Seminole War period (1835-42) in Florida is difficult under the best conditions. Little in the way of occupation residue is generally visible to indicate the presence of these sites in the heavily vegetated lowlands of Florida. One of these posts, Fort Stansbury, headquarters for the 3rd Regiment of the U.S. Infantry during the Florida Wars, has been relocated. The methods used and the military artifacts…
Liquor Bottles from Florida Military Sites
Black-glass bottle fragments have been utilized by archaeologists to aid in the location of U.S. Army out-posts of the Seminole War period (1835-42) in Florida. The patent covering one type of liquor bottle is reported. The date of manufacture of these containers and the forts from which examples have been recovered are also recorded
Food Animals of the Continental Army at Valley Forge and Morristown
Recent excavations of fireplace hearths at the Revolutionary campsites of General Washington's army at the National Historical Park at Morristown, New Jersey, and at the State Park at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, have been responsible for the recovery of a quantity of bones of food animals (Bos taurus). These remains are discussed and compared with the dietary reports made by soldiers of the time. A crudely made strap-iron grill, used by the men a…
A Colonial Button Mold
Cast-pewter civilian and military buttons are commonly recovered from Colonial habitation sites, but little has been recorded regarding the manufacture of these necessary items of apparel. A Colonial brass-button mold and its use is described and figured
Dating Early Plain Buttons by Their Form
Very little has been published to date relating to the manufacture of early buttons. This is particularly true of plain, nonmilitary buttons which lack makers' names on their backs. Enough evidence has been assembled from dated garments or excavations to warrant a description of basic button styles, particularly when these styles can be assigned dates of manufacture to aid the archaeologist in the interpretation of his sites
Problems of Mammal Skull Identification Due to Age Differences in the Dentition
Most keys that are designed for use in identifying mammal skulls discuss and figure the skulls and dentitions of mature adults only. In some groups, particularly carnivores, there is considerable variation from the deciduous teeth of the young to the worn dentitions of the old adult. A series covering this age group, of the North American Raccoon, Procyon lotor is figured and discussed
