Effects of Public Agency Orientations and Practices on Archaeology
Many federal and state agencies are instituting contracts with professional archaeologists for cultural resource management work. They include “regulatory” agencies, “management-oriented” agencies and “project-oriented” agencies. Many archaeologists are unaware of how these different agency orientations affect the discipline of archaeology as a whole in many important ways, including types of service, contract and project; quality of work; result…
Applied Archeology
In his presidential address to the Society for American Archeology last May, Fred Wendorf formally named the new archeology Clone for public, conservation purposes. He called it "applied archeology," following the lead taken in 1974 by Bill Rathje with his label for the Tucson Garbage Project. fn 1976, Hester Davis and later several Texas archeologists used this concept, but it was apparently the 1978 ASCA "Symposium on Applied Archeology" held a…
Applied Archeology
In line with the forces affecting socio-cultural academic anthropology in recent years has been a parallel set of forces, some very long-standing, which has propelled archeology (the cultural anthropology of the dead) out of the academy into the "real" world of business; management, politics and government bureaucracy. Judging by the number of government and independent archeologists, or by the amount of public money going into contract archeolog…

Some Important Developments in Northern Plains Prehistory, 1942-1967
The area of the Northern Plains is defined as by Wedel in his 1961 synthesis. For the period under consideration, the “process” of archeological work is presented in terms of two main areas of growth--the River Basin Survey Program and the opening up of intensive work in Canada. Also for the period considered, the “results 11 of archeological work are presented in terms of the following eight areas of both fact and theory development: 1) The Midd…

El Inga Projectile Points - Surface Collections
Surface collecting in 1960 and excavations in 1961 have produced a large sample of chipped obsidian tools from El Inga, a site in Highland Ecuador. From a total surface collection sample of 83 projectile points, 25 complete and 3 nearly complete specimens have been examined intensively. They are described here by precise line drawings and narrative statements about the presence or absence and quantity or quality of morphological and technological…
Early Man in the Andes
Complex Society Archaeology
Several currents of anthropological research specialization are historically important for the development of a modern approach to the study of ancient, complex societies. These currents are: (a) Taylor's conjunctive approach; (b) developmentalism; (c) settlement-pattern studies; (d) human ecology; and (e) urbanization studies. A case study of the writer's 'dirt archaeology' approach in the Valley of Mexico indicates the nature of sampling, as we…

A Fluted Point from Costa Rica
In 1903 C. V. Hartman excavated archaeological materials in Costa Rica for Carnegie Museum and also purchased several local collections. In June 1950 the unpacking of a portion of the collection not reported by Hartman (1907), disclosed a fluted projectile point of dull black flint (Figs. 88, 89) with these measurements: length, A to B, 58 mm.; width, C to D, 32 mm.; maximum thickness, 5 mm. The point was made from a curved flake so that one face…
Starved Rock Archaic, a Prepottery Horizon from Northern Illinois
During the summer seasons of 1947, 1948, and 1949 the University of Chicago and the Illinois State Museum co-sponsored archaeological excavations in LaSalle county, northern Illinois. In 1947 the site on top of Starved Rock (known as LS 12) was sampled by means of several test pits. In 1948 intensive excavation was carried out at LS 12. In 1949 LS 12 was again intensively excavated by a small crew of students under the writer's direction. As of J…
