My research in geoarchaeology includes studies of the raw materials from which artifacts were made as well as studies of the layers ("strata") in which artifacts were found. If you are interested in raw material studies, <a href="http://www.valdosta.edu/~dmthieme/Mexico/Archaeometry.htm">here</a> is a paper that I prepared based upon a poster presentation at the 2000 <a href="http://www.socarchsci.org/ISA.htm">International Symposium on Archaeometry</a> in Mexico City, Mexico.</FONT></P><P align=left><FONT face=Verdana size=4> The table below provides links for downloading sample reports on seven (7) projects in which I studied the stratigraphy of archaeological sites. These studies all relate the layers that contained the artifacts to soil development, to landscape changes, and to the bedrock and sediment "packages" of the region surrounding each archaeological site. If you find helpful information or ideas in these reports, please cite them in the bibliography of anything that you publish or contact me by email <A href="mailto: dmthieme@valdosta.edu">(dmthieme@valdosta.edu</A>) for my own published versions. You may also contact the client archaeological institute or consulting firm for copies of their complete reports containing my contributions.</FONT></P> <TABLE id=AutoNumber1 style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" borderColor=#111111 cellPadding=2 width="100%" border=8><TBODY><TR><TD align=left><P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 5px"> <B><FONT face=Verdana size=5>Archaeological Project</FONT></B></P></TD><TD align=left> <P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 5px"><B><FONT face=Verdana size=5>Client</FONT></B></P></TD></TR> <TR><TD align=left><P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 5px"><FONT face=Verdana> <A href="http://www.valdosta.edu/~dmthieme/Geoarch/Ossabaw.pdf"><B> <FONT color=#000066>Ossabaw Island</B> tabby structure investigations, Georgia</FONT></A></FONT></P></TD> <TD align=left><P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 5px"><FONT face=Verdana> <A href="http://shapiro.anthro.uga.edu/Lamar/"><FONT color=#000066>Lamar Institute</FONT></A></FONT></P></TD></TR> <TR><TD align=left><P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 5px"><FONT face=Verdana> <A href="http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/responses/2003AM/34.pdf"><FONT color=#000066> <B>Governors Island</B> survey and testing, New York Harbor</FONT></A></FONT></P></TD> <TD align=left><P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 5px"><FONT face=Verdana> <A href="http://www.palinc.com/"><FONT color=#000066>Public Archaeology Laboratory, Inc.</FONT></A></FONT></P></TD></TR> <TR> <TD align=left><P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 5px"><FONT face=Verdana> <A href="http://www.valdosta.edu/~dmthieme/Geoarch/Sandom.htm"><FONT color=#000066><B>Sandom Branch</B> site (7NC-J-227/228) on SR1, Delaware</FONT></A></FONT></P></TD><TD align=left><P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 5px"> <FONT face=Verdana><A href="http://deldot.gov/archaeology/"> <FONT color=#000066>Delaware Department of Transportation</FONT></A></FONT></P></TD></TR> <TR><TD align=left><P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 5px"><FONT face=Verdana> <A href="http://www.valdosta.edu/~dmthieme/Geoarch/Derewal.htm"><FONT color=#000066> <B>Derewal</B> site (28HU530) on the Delaware River in New Jersey</FONT></A></FONT></P></TD> <TD align=left><P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 5px"><FONT face=Verdana><A href="http://www.hunterresearch.com/"> <FONT color=#000066>Hunter Research</FONT></A></FONT></P></TD></TR> <TR><TD align=left><P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 5px"><FONT face=Verdana> <A href="http://www.valdosta.edu/~dmthieme/Geoarch/GreatBend2.pdf"><FONT color=#000066><B>Great Bend</B> site (36SQ17), northeastern Pennsylvania</FONT></A></FONT></P></TD> <TD align=left><P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 5px"><FONT face=Verdana><A href="http://www.dot.state.pa.us/"><FONT color=#000066>Pennsylvania Department of Transportation</FONT></A></FONT></P></TD></TR> <TR><TD align=left><P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 5px"><FONT face=Verdana><A href="http://www.valdosta.edu/~dmthieme/Geoarch/Dundee.htm"><FONT color=#000066> <B>Dundee Canal</B> site (28PA143) in Passaic, New Jersey</FONT></A></FONT></P></TD><TD align=left><P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 5px"> <FONT face=Verdana><A href="http://www.state.nj.us/transportation"><FONT color=#000066>New Jersey Department of Transportation</FONT></A></FONT></P></TD></TR> <TR><TD align=left><P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 5px"><FONT face=Verdana><A href="http://www.valdosta.edu/~dmthieme/CAT-106.htm"> <FONT color=#000066><B>CAT-106</B> site on the proposed Millennium Pipeline right-of-way in Cattaraugus County, New York</FONT></A></FONT></P></TD> <TD align=left><P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 5px"><FONT face=Verdana> <A href="http://www.graypape.com/"><FONT color=#000066>Gray & Pape, Inc.</FONT></A></FONT></P></TD></TR></TBODY> </TABLE></BODY></HTML>
