Draft of report published in A.H. Schroeder, 1965, Anthropological Papers of the Department of Anthropology, University of Utah, Misc. Coll. Papers 75; 10: 85-110. Pilot study of 3 pollen samples suggests pollen chronology developed for Northern Arizona and New Mexico portions of the Colorado Plateau not applicable to SE Utah.
Complacent pollen records associated with both extinct fauna and archaeological remains argues that Southwest has been semi-arid throughout Late- and Post-Pleistocene.
Unpublished report, 1964
Pilot study of 3 pollen samples allows vegetation pattern reconstruction for period of occupation and suggests successful maize farming required water control technology.
This study of 23 pollen samples allows recognition of a sequence of ecosystem changes occurring in central New Mexico between A.D. 1280 and 1400 and also in the 1650 - 1750 period. It also discusses the effects of such changes on aboriginal maize agriculture. Draft of the report included in Archaeological Excavations at Pueblo del Encierro.
The purpose of this brief report is to provide information about Arizona’s system of workforce development, the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA), how the Act has been implemented in the greater Phoenix area and the program’s relevance to business. It is an update of a previous brief on the subject from February 2000. Prepared by Morrison Institute for Public Policy at the request of Greater Phoenix Leadership, the information contained in this report is intended for a business audience.
Beginning in 1996, the City of Phoenix Enterprise Community Job Linkages Initiative set out to increase employment in this distressed area by matching "local people with local jobs." Morrison Institute for Public Policy (School of Public Affairs, Arizona State University) participated in the development of the job linkages initiative and evaluated its two demonstration projects. This report provides the concluding evaluation information for the second project at Friendly House and presents the lessons learned across the job linkages activities.
