An Archaeological Report on a Cave Deposit (D1-30)

During the month of May, 1938, archaeological excavations were begun and completed in a cave (D1-30) which was located in the bluffs on the west side of Woodward Hollow in Delaware County, Oklahoma. The excavation of this site as well as the excavation of other sites, was conducted in the area of Delaware County bordering the Grand or Neosho River, an area which was flooded by water which backed up in the river valley after the construction of a dam near Langley. The entire salvage program, carried on between 1937 and 1940, was one of the projects of the Works Project Administration and was under the sponsorship of the University of Oklahoma. The particular site was excavated by WPA workman under the supervision of David A. Baerrels.

The Archives of Archaeology Series is a 29-volume set jointly published by the University of Wisconsin Press and the Society for American Archaeology on opaque microcards, a now obsolete format. The Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center at the University of Wisconsin—La Crosse has digitized the original opaque microcards and made the digital copies available through tDAR. More information on the process of digitizing the series can be found in Joseph Tiffany’s 2012 article entitled "Digitizing the Archives of Archaeology Series" in the SAA Archaeological Record (http://onlinedigeditions.com/publication/?i=113770).

1938年5月，考古发掘工作在俄克拉荷马州特拉华县伍德沃德谷西侧崖壁上的D1-30洞穴中启动并顺利完成。该遗址与该区域其他遗址的发掘工作，均开展于特拉华县毗邻格兰德河（又称尼欧肖河）的地带——这一区域因兰利附近水坝的建成，导致河谷水位倒灌而被淹没。整个1937年至1940年间实施的抢救性考古项目，是公共事业振兴署（Works Project Administration，WPA）的旗下项目之一，并由俄克拉荷马大学赞助主持。该特定遗址由WPA工作人员在戴维·A·贝尔雷尔斯（David A. Baerrels）的监督下完成发掘。

《考古档案丛书》（Archives of Archaeology Series）是由威斯康星大学出版社与美国考古学会（Society for American Archaeology，SAA）联合出版的一套共29卷的不透明微卡丛书，该载体格式现已淘汰。威斯康星大学拉克罗斯分校的密西西比河谷考古中心已将原始不透明微卡进行数字化处理，并通过考古数据资源库（tDAR）向公众提供数字副本。有关该丛书数字化流程的更多详情，可参阅约瑟夫·蒂芙尼（Joseph Tiffany）2012年发表于《SAA考古记录》（SAA Archaeological Record）的文章《数字化〈考古档案丛书〉》，其链接为http://onlinedigeditions.com/publication/?i=113770。
