Archeological Survey and Testing at Petrified Forest National Park, 1987
The volume combines reports from two projects conducted at Petrified Forest National Park in 1987. Part 1 deals with project PEFO 87A which is the test excavation and surface collection at AZ Q:1:101(ASM), a lithic scatter adjacent to Puerco Ruin. Part 2 reports on project PEFO 87B which is the third season of the park boundary survey. Eighty-two archeological sites and 62 isolated finds were recorded within the 28.25 linear miles of quarter-mile-wide corridor surveyed (4,520 acres). Survey was conducted along the western boundary south of the Puerco River, in the vicinity of Lithodendron Wash and northeast of park headquarters. Sites were dated by the architecture and diagnostic artifacts found on the surface. Archaic through Pueblo 4 occupation was found in the survey area with the most substantial occupation occurring during the Pueblo II to Pueblo III periods. Fourteen rock art sites were recorded this season. It is postulated that the boundary of Petrified Forest National Park lets us view a real boundary between badlands and habitable grasslands. Selenite tempered pottery suggests local ceramic production. A summary of site condition is included for management.
