These teachings imply that practitioners are meeting a professional standard of recordation that will stand the test of time, but the ongoing digital revolution is changing the way records and data are created and preserved. Best practices for the management and use of digital archaeological records have been published, and devoted digital archives offer these services. However, the ability of traditional archaeological repositories to adopt best practices or pay for digital curation is poorly understood. This article presents the results of a survey asking how the flood of digital records and data has impacted the ability of archaeological repositories to collect, manage, preserve, use, and make accessible digital archaeological records and data. Are repositories adopting the best practices that have been outlined? What kinds of challenges do repositories face regarding digital records and data? Are they being overcome successfully? The survey results offer a snapshot of current practice and point to future directions that should be pursued to ensure that the discipline is meeting its professional obligations.

Reclamation Instructions 376.11 require that Reclamation maintain a record of cultural resources on lands that it owns, acquires, or withdraws from public use. A Class I cultural resources survey, which is primarily a literature and records search, is the first step in this process. A Class I cultural resources survey consists of consulting with the National Register of Historic Places (National Register), the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), and other appropriate individuals, agencies, and institutions to determine the nature and extent of the cultural resources that have been recorded in an area and the kinds of additional information that may be needed for an adequate inventory of cultural resources. This volume provides and/or discusses the following in the project area: the environment, water...

Southern Nevada Water Authority proposed to construct and operate a new water-treatment and transmission facility to supply additional Colorado River water from Lake Mead to the Las Vegas Valley. The project is located entirely within Clark County, Nevada, and comprises four primary components: a raw water intake structure in Lake Mead; a water-treatment facility; a water-transmission system consisting of underground pipelines and above ground pumping equipment to deliver water from Lake Mead to the water-treatment facility; and a water-distribution system to deliver treated water from the treatment facility to areas throughout the Las Vegas Valley. This report presents data on the environment of the Las Vegas Valley as well as discussing significant changes that have occurred in the environment since the Late Pleistocene (ca. 12,000 years before present [B.P.]) and provides a culture-historical overview of the prehistory and protohistory of the region, as well as a brief discussion of Native American groups that have an ethnographic presence in the region. Each proposed alternative is described with regard to the extent of previous archaeological surveys that have been undertaken along or near the corridor, and the diversity, frequency, and significance of sites contained therein.

The resources in this document are mostly primary sources of information, which are generally archived in public facilities. These sources will be found in federal, state, county, and city locations, as appropriate. Some may be in the hand of private or semiprivate organizations. To further confuse the issue, city and county records may be archived in state and federal repositories. As a matter of course, all primary sources should be subject to external and internal historical criticism prior to use of information found in those sources. For basic discussions of historical method, see Shafer (1980) and Wood (1990). Note: Periodic updates will be made to this document.

The recommended policies and practices are designed to minimize costs while maximizing the research, education, and cultural heritage value of Federal collections in accordance with 36 CFR Part 79, Curation of Federally Owned and Administered Archaeological Collections.

The project was completed under contract with Fort Huachuca and funded by a Legacy Resource Management Program grant awarded to Fort Huachuca by the Department of Defense. Most of the investigations focused on AZ EE:7:115 (ASM), a site comprising three distinct components: (1) a small, Formative- period prehistoric component; (2) a turn-of-the-century trash dump; and (3) the remnants of a 1930s–1940s adobe "village" housing the scouts and their families in the final era of Apache attachment to the fort. Although little remained of the structures, analysis of artifacts and other materials have contributed to a better understanding of Apache lifeways on a military reservation in times of increasing acculturation. The study further included a search for earlier wickiup and tepee encampments of the scouts dating from the 1880s to the early 1930s. Although...

These essential targeted compounds also analyze after keeping different storage periods and compare with fresh fruits for better efficacy of these compounds. The highest number of phenolic compounds including gallic acid, chlorogenic acid sinapic acid, ferulic acid, myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol extracted in methanol solvent leading to the new compounds of tetra-Omethylscutellar and heptamethoxy flavone. The essential flavonoids determined by polyethersulfone filter and insoluble precipitation separated by the dimethyl sulfoxide. The results showed that the methanolic extraction exhibited higher essential flavonoids including nobiletin, sinensetin, tangeritin, and tetra-O-methylscutellarein and heptamethoxy flavone. The RP-HPLC analysis exposed the maximum number of nutritional flavonoids like naringin, hesperidin, total flavones, glycosyl. Moreover, it observed that dietary flavonoids and phenolic compounds of stored fruits were unaffected in 30 days of storage periods while minor variations were pragmatic during 60-90 days storage. The investigation revealed that C. paradisi proves to be the valuable resource of different phenolic compounds and flavonoids which are effective against various oxidative stresses in the human body.

Economic expansion during this period was characterized by town building; commerce over the Santa Fe, Oregon, and other trails; railroad construction; mining; and the development of a significant river commerce. At the same time, Native Americans from the Great Lakes region and Southeast were resettled in portions of this area, in particular eastern Kansas and Oklahoma. Individual consumers in the early 19th-century West selected ceramics to use in their households, but data from this area have not figured into theory-building on ceramic and consumer choice. A preliminary survey of data, primarily from the TransMississippi West, suggests that ceramic choice in this area was affected by at least two significant factors. First, supply-side decisions appear to have limited the range of ceramics coming into the area, and thereby limited the possibl...
