- National NAGPRA:
Useful Information, Publications, Rulings and Training Manuals
- National Register of Historic Places: National
Register Information System, an on-line database that
lists properties and some multiple property submissions--a useful
preliminary tool for Phase 1 research in Kansas, but don't forget
to also check the maps and documentation on file at the KSHS.

Lithic Sourcing References
- Lithic
Raw Material Assemblage for Iowa by Mark L. Anderson
and Daniel G. Horgan
- An Archaeological Guide to Cherts of East-Central
Illinois prepared
by Lenville J. Stelle and Thomas P. Duggan of Parkland College, Champaign,
Illinois.
- The Eastern
New Mexico University Online Lithic Type website is intended
to provide students and professional archaeologists with images
of various raw materials used in the manufacture of stone tools.
It includes images of stone used in the manufacture of flaked
and ground stone tools. A majority of the raw materials pictured
here are from regional source areas in New Mexico, Texas, Arizona,
Oklahoma, and Kansas; however limited examples of various raw
materials from around the world are also included. NOTE: This
site has been off-line for some time, but Dr. Shelley says it
will be operational soon.
- Lithic Raw Materials Resources in Minnesota, a paper
presented by Ken Bakken at the 1995 SAA Meeting in Minneapolis, discusses
pirmary context and glacial drift lithic resources in Minnesota.
- The
Northwest Research Obsidian Studies Laboratory website
contains links to various types of information regarding obsidian
sources and source analyses.
- Looking for some comparative fossil
images for chert or artifact identifications? The Paleontology
Database Network is probably the best place to start.
- Obsidian source information, journals,
lab reports and other references are indexed on the International
Association for Obsidian Studies (IAOS) website. A WWW laboratory
directory provides quick access to contact information and fees.

Sources / Map Tools
- AERIAL PHOTOS: High resolution aerial photos and USGS quad
maps are available from Terraserver.com
- CREATE TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS: TopoZone.com uses NAD27 UTM and Lat/Long coordinates to generate
custom digital topographic maps that you can link to, print, or email.
You can also search for locations by place name.
- HISTORIC MAPS: Looking for a historic map of Kansas? Search A
Collection of Digitized Kansas Maps, an on-line map archive
of map images sponsored by the Wichita State University-Department
of Special Collections.
- HISTORIC and OTHER MAPS:The
Thomas R. Smith Map Collection at the University
of Kansas houses a large collection of
Kansas, USA, and other maps, including aerial photographs and
historical, topographic, and serial set maps, some of which have
been digitized.
The Kansas Applied Remote Sensing
(KARS) Program also archives historic
aerial photographs, color slides, and other (vegetation, satellite) maps
of Kansas.
- HISTORIC KANSAS MAPS: County
plat books and Sanborn
Fire Insurance Maps (of urban areas) may be obtained from the
Kansas State Historical Society on microfilm through interlibrary
loan.

Radiocarbon
Dating
- A new program called "CalPal-Online"
allows the age calibration of numeric Radiocarbon ages in the range
0 to 50 ka 14C-BP via Web-Browser. It is thought as a quick reference
for your daily work. For publications etc. please use the download
version of CalPal, available from the CalPal website (http://www.calpal.de).
- Calib is
another radiocarbon calibration program available for use on-line,
or as a free download.
- Radiocarbon is
the main international journal of record for research articles and
date lists relevant to 14C and other radioisotopes and techniques
used in archaeological, geophysical, oceanographic, and related dating.
It is published 3 times a year.
