A Personal Perspective on Mesa Verde Archaeology
Until the mid-1960s the investigations of Mesa Verde archaeology were conducted by a relatively small group of archaeologists who focused on Mesa Verde National Park. Since the mid-1960s, the physical area of investigations has expanded as a result of increased legislated obligations imposed on both government agencies and private industry, which have, in turn, brought a larger group of investigators to the region. The result has been a flourishi…

The Dolores Archaeological Program: In Memoriam
The Dolores Archaeological Project (DAP) encompassed a contract period from June 1978 through December 1985. Although investigations both preceded and postdated the contract period, the accomplishments, failures, positive and negative aspects of DAP, and certain comparisons with another major cultural-resource-mitigation project offer historical, methodological, and academic lessons that are instructive, particularly for future, long-term, federa…

Behavioral Analysis and the Structure of a Prehistoric Industry [and Comments and Reply]
Assuming that aboriginal behavior was recorded on chipped-stone implements and debitage, and assuming that the analyst can train himself to recognize and interpret that record, then a classification of lithic artifacts based on manufacturing behavior may be considered an inherent classification. Lithic behavioral classification is examined from the perspective of other archaeological classifications as well as from general taxonomic theory. Advan…
An Early Burial from Gordon Creek, Colorado
An isolated burial was excavated from the bank of a tributary of Gordon Creek, Roosevelt National Forest, northern Colorado. A preliminary report was prepared (D. Anderson 1966, 1967) but further analysis of the skeletal material and newly obtained cultural information add significantly to the documentation of the burial.The body of a woman, aged 25-30 years, was given primary interment in a pit coated with red ocher. The body was placed on its l…

Radiocarbon Dates: Eastern Colorado
As of the late fall of 1968, there are at least 56 radiocarbon dates from eastern Colorado which contribute to our knowledge of the prehistory of this region. They are derived from some 36 localities and have been tabulated and commented upon under the categories of PaleoIndian, Archaic, Early Ceramic, Middle Ceramic, and Late Ceramic

As a result of work since the publication of these reports, certain changes are justified in the phase sequence and in the terminology as it…
