The Committee for the Recovery of Archaeological Remains
Today most archaeologists are unaware of the enormous debt we owe to a small group who instigated a massive federal archaeological program to recover the archaeological evidence that was to be destroyed by a public works program involving hundreds of dams on most of the major rivers in the United States and set to begin immediately after World War II. This small group of archaeologists, organized by Frederick Johnson in May 1945, known as the Com…

A Sequence of Interbedded Cultural and Natural Deposits at Point of Pines, Arizona
Post-Pleistocene alluvial sequences on the Colorado Plateau and in the Sonoran Desert have been studied since the early 1920s. This paper documents a sequence of alluvial and cultural deposits from the intervening mountainous region at Point of Pines in east-central Arizona. Four periods of channel cutting have been identified. The earliest channel is poorly known, but the interbedding of well-dated cultural layers with fluvial deposits permits p…

Emil W. Haury and the Definition of Southwestern Archaeology
Emil Walter Haury (1904-1992) played a key role in the definition of southwestern archaeology. Raised in a Mennonite academic community in Kansas and educated at Bethel College, the University of Arizona, and Harvard University, Haury participated in the development of dendrochronology and gained extensive archaeological field experience with Byron Cummings and Harold Gladwin. Inspired by A. V. Kidder, he contributed greatly to our knowledge of C…

When Is a Kiva? And Other Questions about Southwestern Archaeology
Principles of Academic Leadership
Despite the fact that I have always found excessive use of the perpendicular pronoun a painful and sometimes offensive approach to narrative, I have been unable to cope with the problem of presenting my views on practicing anthropology within the academic grove without reciting a bit of personal history. I offer these comments with what I hope will be an appropriate degree of humility and ask your forgiveness for any inadvertent breaches of modes…

The University of Arizona Archaeological Field School at Grasshopper, East Central Arizona
The University of Arizona Archaeological Field School has now completed three seasons’ work at the Grasshopper Ruin, a 14th century pueblo in east central Arizona. The teaching program stresses student participation in an ongoing research activity. Excavations thus far have uncovered 21 domestic rooms, a rectangular Great Kiva, 120 human burials and a number of masonry-lined pit ovens. Trash deposits have been tested as has a large central plaza …
The Ringo Site, Southeastern Arizona
Excavations by the University of Arizona Archaeological Field School in the summer of 1962 indicate that this small site in the Sulphur Spring valley was occupied fromA.D.1250 to 1325. Architectural remains consist of the two adobe-walled room-plaza complexes. Burials were extended inhumations and primary cremations. The artifact inventory is characterized by its simplicity and lack of elaboration. Locally made pottery was primarily plain red and…

An Experiment in Archaeological Inference
The 51 inferences which are set forth on the following pages constitute an exercise in archaeological method. These inferences are not offered as a series of probable statements of the pottery techniculture, but as examples of how such statements may be achieved
The Source Materials
This study is an analysis of inference as the product of archaeological subject matter. So far very little has been said about the data of archaeology except that they belong to the context of culture. According to Osgood's (1940) system for ordering data within this context, they are classified as material percepta and considered under the heading of techniculture. But this is a heading which covers all of the objects made and used by the “aggre…
The Ethnographic Description
Name: kat, potter's clay. There are a number of Maya words meaning clay, but all sources agree that kat is the specific term for the kind of clay used for pottery making. Both the Motel and Vienna dictionaries define kat as the day used by the olleros or pot makers. E. H. Thompson, writing about 1900 (and probably overstating the situation) claims that all potter's clay was further subdivided into 2 classes: xahkat (zac-kat , white/clay) and xkat…

An Archaeological Approach to the Study of Cultural Stability
The study of cultural stability requires a knowledge of cultural development over a reasonably long span of time. The definition of this time perspective is one of the major contributions of archaeology to the study of culture. The archaeologist therefore should be in a position to make a significant contribution to the appraisal of the stability problem itself. However, the lack of a commonly accepted anthropological definition of the concept of…

The Conceptual Setting
It seems to have become the custom for the author of a paper on archaeological methodology to provide his readers with a review of the theoretical trends of the discipline. The general outline of these trends must by now be the common property of all literate anthropologists. do not consider it improper, therefore, to refrain from repeating a summary of them here. Much more important to this study of the nature of archaeological inference is a st…

The Archaeological Description
This presentation of the material percepta is intended to be no more than the starting point for an exercise in inferential method. It is therefore somewhat different from the description found in the usual archaeological report. Ordinarily the archaeologist can enrich his presentation of the descriptive data or material percepta by including some of the inferential findings which these data make possible. Assigning the name of “cooking pot” to a…
The Method of Procedure
The design for the present experiment calls for 2 different presentations of the fairly large number of vessels which have been collected from the Yucatecan Maya over the past 75 years. First, the vessels are separated from their ethnographic context in order to create a hypothetical archaeological situation. The collection is described in terms of its new context, that is, according to a standard archaeological procedure. The description then co…
