Significantly, this was also the world's first calendrical dating of a prehistoric volcano eruption, creating a new application for tree ring data. The dating of the Sunset Crater eruption was based on...

Amerind Pleistocene Lake I, The Archaeology of the Willcox Playa (1985)
Our 1985 survey of the Willcox Playa environs resulted in a wealth of Archeological data, the findings of which are presented in the following chapters. We have added to the Archaic database from the Cazador through San Pedro stages of the Cochise sequence, and suggest a tentative Archaic settlement system integrated with local habitats and accompanying resources. Though it is a partial picture, the ceramic period settlement system is also beginning to emerge. Our knowledge of the early ceramic...

An Archaeological and Historical Report on Jackson Blue Springs and Merritt's Millpond, Jackson County, Florida (2002)
What Blue Springs County Park lacks in size, it makes up for in cultural resources, both in terms of density and variety.
