Agua Fria Chapter Report on the summer’s FAUNAL ID AND ANALYSIS CLASS

In June of 2005, six lucky members participated in AAS’s new Faunal Identification and Analysis Class hosted by the Agua Fria Chapter. The class was held in Arizona State University’s faunal lab (pictured at left). Many thanks go to Dr. Curtis Marean for letting us use the lab and for recruiting his Ph.D. candidate, Lydia Pyne, as our instructor. Ms. Pyne has worked in South Africa with Dr. Marean relating hominid and carnivore activity to faunal bone assemblages. Because many theories and methodologies on faunal analysis (zooarchaeology) have their beginnings in African hominid research, Ms. Pyne was the ideal instructor for this groundbreaking class.

Class size was limited to six persons due to the space needed to accommodate the faunal comparative collection as well as the bone elements to be identified.

The small class size was also a positive for the one-on-one attention each participant needed from the instructor. The Seated in back (L-R): Donna Ruiz y Costello, Lydia Pyne, Bob faunal assemblage for the Calderwood (AZ:T:7:1) AAS 1965 Lindsay, Mary Lawrence, Tim Cullison. Seated in front (L-R) Meghann – 1971 excavations was used and is estimated to number more Vance, Walter “Dutch” Duering. than 3,000 elements.

Class participants were Tim Cullison, Walter “Dutch” Duering, Bob Lindsay, and Donna Ruiz y Costello of the Agua Fria Chapter and Mary Lawrence of the Phoenix Chapter. Meghann Vance, archaeologist for Logan-Simpson Design, Inc., joined the Agua Fria chapter to take the course as a refresher to augment her faunal analyst position at the firm. Her working knowledge of southwest faunal assemblages greatly added to the richness of everyone’s class experience.

Topics covered in the class were prehistoric environmental reconstruction, human exploitation of the environment, the primary contributor to the assemblage (human or carnivore), biological changes to bone (burning, tooth and cut marks, breakage patterns for marrow and grease extraction estimates), taphonomic bone changes (weathering, non-biological breakage, and root etching) element and species identification, and finally research design questions. Each student was required to give a report on a case study that highlighted one of the topics covered.

During the course of this class, the element identification of the Calderwood faunal assemblage reached two-thirds complete. Species represented are mule deer, an unidentified artiodactyl, jackrabbit, cottontail, hawk, various birds and rodents, and tortoise. The inclusion of many tiny bone elements, both partial and whole, are a good testament to the meticulous work done by novice avocationals during AAS’s first excavation project in the field. They are to be congratulated.

Because of his position as assistant field director during the last few years of the excavation, this project maintains its continuity through Walter “Dutch” Duering as advisor and report editor. It is hoped that the Agua Fria chapter can provide a good faunal repository of data for professional researchers in the Calderwood final report, as well as do a good job answering project research questions concerning the lower Agua Fria River area.

We hope to extend this faunal class in a second follow-up session next summer so that we can gain deeper knowledge for speci- ation and further research questions. Because of the high traffic the lab receives during fall and spring semesters from research students returning from their summer field work as well as other ASU archaeology students, Dr. Marean requests that we reserve the lab for summer use only.

A short reading list is included here for anyone wishing to gain basic knowledge in faunal analysis and zooarchaeology:

Fielder Fund: Your Chance to Endow AAS Publications

Established by the Society in 1996, the Fielder Fund was created to help inform the public about archae- ology, anthropology, and history of the American Southwest through the support of publications and other media. The goal is to build a fund large enough that its annual interest alone can pay for publication of The Arizona Archaeologist and possibly other publications. Contributions to the fund are welcome from chap- ters and individuals. The name honors the Society’s first publications team, Marje and Herb Fielder.

The current balance in the fund it $28,969.82.

For more information, or to contribute, contact Alan Ferg, Arizona State Museum, University of Arizona, Tucson 85721-0026; phone 520-621-2970 or email [email protected], or you can send contributions directly to our AAS treasurer, Judy Rounds, P.O.

NEEDED: MAIL PROCESSOR for The Petroglyph

For the last five years, Susie (Bradshaw) Kinkade has been picking up the finished Petroglyphs from the printer (located in Tempe), labeling them with member addresses, grouping them for bulk mail, and transporting them to the post office. She will soon be retiring to northern Arizona and must relinquish the position as AAS's newletter mail processor. Therefore, Susie's position must be filled quickly. Anyone wishing to take up this very important task should contact AAS publications chair, Donna Ruiz y Costello at 623-465-7350 or email [email protected]. The person or persons (more than one would help the process to go faster) should be available around the 20th of each month, end of August through end of May, and be able to physically pick up and load around 800 of the newsletters as received from the printer (again located in Tempe). Susie will be available to train the volunteer(s) in the whole process for the first month. We appreciate all that Susie has done on The Petro- glyph team to make it possible for everyone to receive AAS news in a timely fashion. Thank you, Susie.

Arizona State Parks Heritage Grant for Gatlin Site National Historic Landmark

This past winter field work was initiated to implement an Arizona State Parks Heritage Grant (Project Number 640402) for the Gatlin Site National Historic Landmark Stabilization and Interpretation project north of Gila Bend. Site treatment included adding about 3,000 square meters of new clean soil to 16 looted mounds and several other areas including near the platform mound .

Hundreds of hours were volunteered by AAS members from different Chapters and by Volunteers of Arizona (VOAz). The work followed a treatment plan reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and Arizona State Museum (ASM). A report detailing the work is under preparation. Other work partially funded by the Heritage Grant planned for this coming fall -winter season and the future includes trimming the edges of the new trail, installing high-quality interpretive signage, and preparing a trail guide.

#1 Grapevine Canyon—Diana Jansen, past president of the Mohave Chapter, will lead a tour to an extensive and highly concentrated petroglyph site – a site she has spent many hours in recording. Grapevine Canyon lies in The Lake Mead near Laughlin, NV, and features numerous Great Basin abstract petroglyphs, some of which show stylistically distinct features. These features appear to be regionally distinct and have been defined as the “Grapevine Style” of rock art. There appears to be a Patayan affinity associated with this site. It takes about one hour to get to Grapevine Canyon which is accessible by sedan with a level walk of ca. 1/10 mile from the parking lot to the site.

#2 Neal Ranch—Craig Johnson, BLM Kingman Office, will take a group to the Neal Ranch Petroglyph Site. This spectacular site is located on 12 acres amid ranchland and is comprised of 1,533 petroglyph elements on 667 boulders. Located on a trade route, the site was close to a source of spring water. There petroglyph styles indicate that the site was used over an extensive time frame. The road from the highway to the site is short but requires high clearance vehicle and be sure to bring a snake stick. For those who want to see the petroglyphs but don’t want to scramble on rocks, the site can be appreciated by binoculars and long focus camera lens from the parking areas. The site is located about ½ hour from town.

#3 Boundary Cone Aboriginal Trail—Stan Krok, Field Trip Coordinator for the Mohave Chapter, has had a long standing interest in the local aboriginal trail system – in particular one that he has shown that connects from Needles CA to the Boundary Cone geological formation close the Oatman. Boundary Cone is one of several sacred sites in the Black Mountains. He will lead a group on a portion of the eastern segment of this ancient trail corridor to view trail markers and a significant petroglyph site. High clearance vehicle is required. The walk will be anywhere from 2.5-3.5 mile round trip depending upon the wishes of the group. There is no boulder hopping involved.
