Small Sites in the Central Hueco Bolson: A Final Report on Project 90-11
Abstract
The report details the goals, methods, and results of Project 90-11, an archaeological project conducted by the Cultural Resources Branch, Directorate of Environment, Fort Bliss, Texas, to investigate small sites on the installation. Fort Bliss inventory surveys consistently record small scatters of artifacts or isolated features that lack temporally diagnostic artifacts. These small sites are ubiquitous and often account for most of the archaeological remains recorded. Previous surveys indicate that as many as 90% of these sites contain temporally unknown occupations. Not only is the temporal placement unknown, but an understanding of the activities conducted on these sites is lacking, as is how small sites fit into the cultural adaptation represented on the installation. The project recorded 176 sites and further investigated 89.
