About This Publication
1
The Archaeology of Yellow Jacket Pueblo: Excavations at a Large
Community Center in Southwestern Colorado is one in a series of on-line
site reports published by the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center. Like
other publications in the series, this report consists primarily of interpretive
summaries organized into separate chapters, by topic. Although summary
data are reported in both tabular and graphic form to support the conclusions
presented in text, the emphasis in this publication is on interpretation
and synthesis, not on the reporting of basic data. For the latter, the
reader is referred to The
Yellow Jacket Pueblo Database and the multisite research
database, two companion publications that provide background information
and detailed supporting data. The Yellow Jacket Pueblo Database
includes a history of investigations at the site, a description of site
physiography, the details of land ownership and government permitting,
an explanation of field methods, detailed excavation data, maps, color
photographs, and selected artifact inventories and analysis results. The
research database contains information about multiple sites excavated
by Crow Canyon, including more-detailed results of artifact and ecofact
analyses for all proveniences. The three publications—the site report
and the two databases—are designed to be complementary, but each
may be used independently of the others as well.
Format
2
This site report and its supporting databases are electronically
linked, which allows users to read text while calling up the relevant
maps, photographs, excavation data, and artifact information from the
databases. To assist the reader in using this new format, we provide the
following tips and guidelines (paragraphs 3–6):
Navigation
3
Each chapter in this publication (see Contents)
contains links to a variety of auxiliary text and/or graphics files, including
figures, tables, and references. This publication automatically opens
a second browser window when the reader clicks on a link, and the linked
item is displayed in the second window. By selecting either the chapter
window or the "link window," the reader can move back and forth between
the two. Alternatively, the reader can resize the two windows, position
them side-by-side, then view the contents of both simultaneously. (To
navigate effectively between duplicate open windows, the reader needs
to understand how his or her particular browser handles such situations.)
Each time the reader selects another link to a figure, table, or reference,
that item will replace the previously linked item in the "link window."

This publication uses HTML style sheets and therefore is best viewed
with a browser that supports this feature. Readers whose browsers do not
support styles may experience minor display irregularities, but these
should not interfere with reading or navigating the publication.
Paragraph Numbering
5
Because page breaks in electronic publications are dependent on
document parameters (for example, font type and margin width) selected
by individual users, readers who wish to cite the sources of specific
material cannot use standard page-number reference formats in their in-text
citations. Therefore, to help the reader cite specific text passages in
the electronic site report, we have assigned consecutive numbers to every
individual paragraph, by chapter; these paragraph numbers may be used
in lieu of page numbers in in-text reference citations.
Reference Citation Format
6
The reader will notice that the format used for references in this
publication varies slightly from typical citation formats. Specifically,
a suffix consisting of an asterisk and a number is appended to every author-date
citation in text, creating a unique code for any given reference. This
same code (author-date-suffix) is repeated at the beginning of the corresponding
entry in the lists of references. This system allows us to generate reference
lists automatically from an electronic database and minimizes the potential
for introducing error during production.
