Background Research Reports

Following the field seasons of excavation the collection was processed and analysis began. The collection was housed in the Arroyo Hondo Repository at the School of Advanced Research. The analysis led to numerous unpublished research reports on the Arroyo Hondo Pueblo project developed as background material in preparation for the writing of the monographs. In this listing, the reports are organized by Binder Number and/or Document Number. The reports cover ceramics, climate change, ecology, farming, faunal remains, grant requests, lithic data, migration and regional settlement patterns, paleoethnobotany, pollen, population and skeletal and burial information.

In addition to the research reports, basic data from the 5 field seasons of excavation at Arroyo Hondo Pueblo is housed in the repository. The data includes primary field notes and information on architecture, bone artifacts, burial, ceramics, dendrochronology, ecology, excavation notes, faunal remains, features, field logs, inventory, lithic, Nels Nelson’s excavation, paleobiology, procedural manuals, reviews and survey.

Below is the listing of material available in the repository for scholarly use. It is organized by category, then alphabetically and/or chronologically.
