This thesis analyzes data from (33) archaeological excavations in which fire-cracked rock (FCR) quantification attempts were made, including excavations at Langtry Rock Midden (41VV168). I propose using a standardized FCR recording methodology so that comparisons of archaeological datasets are more effective. To construct a dependable and consistent FCR measurement methodology, the Rock Sort routine is presented and discussed. Rock Sort is a standardized method that permits a rigorous approach derived from prior experiments and studies. It incorporates the three pillars of quantification: size-class sorting, counting, and weighing to calculate volume, density, and mass, as well as FCR morphology to ascertain how many earth ovens were constructed at the BRM.

While it was once believed that agriculture and pottery developed concurrently in prehistoric societies, modern research has concluded that agriculture preceded pottery making, since a sedentary life with greater food production led to both the need and time to create storage containers. Bruce Huckell has been at the forefront of a movement in Arizona archaeology that has greatly modified our understanding of the transition from the Archaic to the agricultural periods in the Southwest. Work done by Huckell and others at Matty Canyon has produced the most detailed account available of a Late Archaic village and has been extremely influential in suggesting that the cultivation of maize predated the appearance of pottery. Of Marshes and Maize presents archaeological information obtained from small-scale investigations at two deeply buried preceramic sites in the Cienega Creek Basin. Its report on excavations at the Donaldson Site and at Los Ojitos offers a thorough description of archaeological features and artifacts, floral and faunal remains, and their geological and chronological contexts. From this data, the author concludes that a major shift toward a sedentary lifeway dependent on maize agriculture had already occurred by Late Archaic times (c. 500 to 800 B.C.), demonstrating that previous research on late preceramic sites in this region has provided an inadequate picture of the period. This monograph represents the first full presentation in the literature of an important set of data that is well-known among researchers but has thus far not been easily accessible. It is a classic example of the use of fragmentary evidence in well-dated contexts to introduce new ideas, and will stand not only as an important record of the evidence but also as the primary reference for this significant new interpretation of the late Archaic and the introduction of agriculture into the Southwest.

This report represents the third in a publication series which summarizes the results of a multiphase cultural resource management program in Cochiti Reservoir, New Mexico. The present phase of the research concerns a program for mitigation for those archeological sites which will be directly impacted by the floodwaters between 5322 and 5400 foot elevations retained in Cochiti Reservoir. During the course of the mitigation program, twenty sites that span late Archaic (En Medio phase), Anasazi(Pueblo III, Pueblo IV), and Historic (Spanish Colonial, Territorial) periods have been investigated. The site reports and appendices to this volume provide descriptive summaries of the results of the mitigation program at the intrasite level of analysis.
