Assignment:

Site: Pottery Collection AND the Walnut Canyon South Slopes Survey

You have found a valuable site that makes you famous overnight in the field of Anthropology. You are the one who has the privilege to record, excavate, and interpret this important snapshot in time. Planned for publication in an edited special edition monograph dedicated to this purpose, you have completed survey and initial test excavations and must report your findings to the Office of Historic Preservation.

1. Where is this site?

2. What time period is it from?

3. What are the environmental conditions where site is located (Climate, temperature, wet or dry, etc.)? Has it always been this way? Keep in mind that certain materials decompose faster in certain environmental contexts. Also, certain types of artifacts are more likely to be preserved under particular environmental conditions. For example, lithic artifacts are preserved in the desert for thousands of years, but the amount and intensity of wind and other erosional forces wear them down over time).

4. What has been found at the site (stone tools, cloth, basketry, etc.)? Did this meet your expectations? Why or why not? (This project is based on pure imagination, so create something normal or bizarre to play into how you imagine this site).

5. What methods did your crew use to figure this information out?

6. What do these artifacts tell you about when people lived there and what their culture was like? Culturally were the people who created the site similar to those occupying other sites in the region? What else might we learn about this site?

7. How many people are required for your crew to work this site? What will you have them do? Are there only archeologists that will participate? Did you seek help from other disciplines? Why?
