The City of Phoenix (COP) Aviation Department has prepared a Comprehensive Asset Management Plan (CAMP) Short Range Development Plan for the Sky Harbor International Airport (Sky Harbor) in Phoenix, Arizona, to guide development at the airport over the next 20 years (herein referred to as the Sky Harbor CAMP Project). The plan proposes improvements to the airfield and the construction of two new Crossfield Taxiways, expansion of the passenger terminal, a grade change of the Union Pacific Railroad within the study area, development of a North Cargo Area, and redevelopment of the South Area. Implementation of the Sky Harbor CAMP Project requires the approval of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Federal Railroad Administration. The FAA must approve the changes to the airport layout and the use of federal funds; the Federal Railroad Administration must approve the use of federal funds. Because federal decisions are needed, the project is subject to compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The COP Aviation Department is currently preparing an environmental assessment to disclose the potential impacts of the plan for compliance with NEPA. SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA) was tasked with identifying historic properties within the APE to assist the FAA and the COP to comply with NEPA and NHPA review responsibilities. Historic property identification for the Sky Harbor CAMP Project was conducted in several stages, including background research, archaeological reconnaissance, and an architectural survey of the built environment. Because the planning period for the Sky Harbor CAMP Project extends to 2030, properties constructed up to 1980 would reach historic age by that time. Therefore, evaluating properties constructed up to 1980 (i.e., pre-1981) considers the 10-year lifespan of the Sky Harbor CAMP Project as a whole.

В статье обобщены и систематизированы сведения о культурах неолита на северо-востоке Европы – современной территории Республики Коми, северной части Пермского края, Вологодской и Архангельской областей, Ненецкого АО. На основе критики опорных источников, их анализа и интерпретации авторы представляют свою точку зрения на особенности формирования, развития и дальнейшей судьбы культур неолита региона. Установлено, что в регионе располагаются северные и северо-восточные провинции известных культур раннего и среднего неолита Восточной Европы – верхневолжской, камской, льяловской и родственной ей каргопольской. Кроме того, выявлены фрагменты культур, исходные территории формирования которых пока достоверно не определены. Их представляют ранненеолитические памятники типа Дутово 1, Черноборской III, Эньты IА и Черной Вадьи. Некоторые типы керамической посуды без определенного контекста документируют присутствие на северо-востоке Европы групп населения, статус которых пока не определен. Авторы предполагают, что формирование культур неолита в регионе связано с поиском неосвоенных кормовых территорий, их освоением и кратковременной эксплуатацией небольшими группами людей, соизмеримых с элементарными или объединенными семьями. На большей территории СВЕ за исключением ее самых юго-западных и юго-восточных частей, условия для длительного проживания первобытного населения и формирования местных традиций отсутствовали вплоть до энеолита., The authors summarize and systematize data on Neolithic cultures in northeastern Europe. It is a modern territory of the Komi Republic, the northern part of the Perm Territory, the Vologda and Arkhangelsk Regions, and the Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Based on the critical analysis of evidences, their analysis and interpretation, the authors present their views on the features of the formation, development and fate of the Neolithic cultures of the region. It has been established that the studied region contains northern and northeastern provinces of the famous cultures of the early and middle Neolithic of Eastern Europe: Verkhnevolzhskaya, Kamskaya, Lyalovskaya and Kargopolskaya. In addition, fragments of some cultures were identified. Their initial areas of formation are not yet reliably determined. They are represented by early Neolithic sites such as Dutovo 1, Chernoborskaya III, Enty IА and Chyornaya Vadya. Some types of pottery without a specific context document the presence of population groups in northeastern Europe whose status has not been defined yet. The authors suggest that the formation of Neolithic cultures in the region is associated with the search for undeveloped feeding areas, their development and short-term exploitation by small groups of people commensurate with elementary or unified families. Until the Eneolithic in the greater territory of northeastern Europe the conditions for long-term residence of the Neolithic population were absent as well as the formation of local traditions.

Статья посвящена результатам разведочных работ Северо-Кавказской археологической экспедиции в 2015 г. в альпийской зоне хребта Аибга (Адлерский район Краснодарского края), в ходе которых были обследованы 14 памятников типа ацангуаров: «Каменный Столб I–VII», «Черная Пирамида I–IV, VII–IX». В статье представлены краткие описания памятников и делается вывод о возможности разделения их на четыре вида – на основании размеров и конструктивных особенностей. К наиболее выразительным архитектурным ансамблям относятся группы ацангуаров «Каменный Столб I» и «Черная Пирамида I». Заложенные на памятниках археологические шурфы дали небольшой, но выразительный керамический материал, в целом схожий, как в качественном, так и в количественном отношении, с находками на ацангуарах, исследованных ранее на территории Абхазии, существование которых исследователи связывают со втор. пол. I тыс. до н. э., The paper presents results of archaeological reconnaissance of the North Caucasus archaeological expedition in the alpine areas of the Aibga Range (the Adler district of the Krasnodar region) in 2015 in the course of which 14 sites of the atsanguar type were examined such as Kamennyy Stolb (Stone Pillar) I–VII, Chernaya Piramida (Black Pyramid) I–IV, VII–IX. The paper contains brief descriptions of the sites and concludes that the sites can be divided into four types based on their size and design characteristics. The groups of atsanguars known as «Stone Pillar I» and «Black Pyramid I» are the most spectacular architectural ensembles. Archaeological bores drilled at the site yielded small but impressive ceramic artifacts, which, in terms of their quality and quantity, are similar to the finds at atsanguars examined earlier in Abkhazia and dated, in the view of researchers, to the second half of 1000 BC., №252 (2018)
