ANTH 3: Coyote Wash Pueblo Chronology Construction Project For this project, you are presented with a set of data from the Coyote Wash Pueblo, a hypothetical Ancestral Pueblo site from

the American Southwest. Using the information provided (e.g. site plan, provided dates, ceramic information) on the course project Gaucho Space page, write up a chronological report analyzing the history of the site. Including an introduction and conclusion, your project report must address the following: N 3 Reconstruct the relative chronology of the construction and expansion of the pueblo. Using the information on the site plan (e.g., architecture, wall alignments, presence of subfloor deposits) identify the set of rooms first constructed. Next, determine the blocks of rooms that were apparently added to the initial construction, and the sequence in which they were added. Include a figure that indicates the sequence of construction, accompanied by a written justification. You may find a color-coded approach using the provided maps to be best suited for this. Using the tree-ring and radiocarbon dates, offer your best interpretation of the absolute dates associated with each construction phase or room addition. Include a figure that indicates your best interpretation of the chronological phases. Again, a color-coded approach may be well suited for this. How do you interpret the differences in the total number of pottery sherds found on the floor's surface in each room versus the sherds found in excavation (i.e., total fill sherds)? Include a graphical representation of the pottery fill sequence alongside your written explanation. The text of the Pueblo Construction Chronology Project must be approximately two [2] pages in length or approximately 500-750 words. It must include graphs, data, and images included in the project handout to provide support for your arguments. No sources aside from course resources are required for this assignment. You must properly cite, in text, any resources you do use from the class to defend your arguments. All information from these sources must be properly cited according to Chicago Author/Date format. Each posted question must include an associated graph/figure visualizing how you are interpreting the relative chronology for a minimum of three [3] included figures. Each paragraph must directly reference and explain your figures and each graph must come with a key. Plot out and explain the patterns you observed in the archaeological record – why did you come to the conclusions you reached given the data provided to you? Grading Criteria Assignment Rubric Quality: content accuracy, specificity, citations to support arguments, depth of argument, persuasiveness. Quantity: adequacy (length), compactness. definitions of terms used, provides details, provides examples to illustrate points, comparisons used when appropriate. Visualization: use of graphs to visualize data. Graphical Representation Content Style: Organization Structure: includes all listed sections. Includes robust introduction and conclusions. Includes thesis statement. Sequence (rational flow, logical organization - doesn't ramble), appearance (correct margins and headings, neatness, etc.), pagination, correct citation format (Chicago Author/Date). Total Score: Style: Clarity Sentences: clarity, relevance (on-topic), fluency, no use of clichés, no use of unknown referents. Paragraphs: structure (topic sentences, development), length (not too short or too long - minimum paragraph size is 3 sentences; a paragraph should not extend longer than the full length of a single page), coherence. Diction: conciseness, no overuse of the passive voice and weak verbs, no repetitive phrasing, does not use exaggeration, no overuse of modifiers or misplaced modifiers. Vocabulary: correct word choice, no repetition of words, no use of colloquialisms. Style: Grammar Use of correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Appropriate sentence length.
