Analysis of Historic Artifacts and Faunal Material From Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park|考古学数据集|历史文物数据集

Cathy Johnson of Arizona State Parks asked Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) to analyze historic material recovered from salvage excavations at the Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park (AZ X:6:90(ASM)), which was used from 1876 to 1909. The artifacts were unexpectedly encountered during the demolition of a deteriorating adobe wall. This wall will be replaced by a reproduction of the original 18-ft walls that enclosed the old prison yard. Most of the artifacts were recovered from a shallow pit near the south wall. Thirty-two additional artifacts were found near the east wall. Ms. Karolyn Jackman Jensen analyzed and interpreted the historic artifacts, and Dr. Margaret Glass analyzed and interpreted the faunal material.
