PROJECT TITLE: ARCHAEOLOGICAL
EXCAVATIONS AT NINE SITES ALONG THE COLORADO RIVER IN GRAND
CANYON NATIONAL PARK
EFFECTIVE DATES: July 18, 2006 – December 31, 2011
PROJECT ABSTRACT: The
Grand Canyon National Park (hereafter GRCA) will work with the Museum of Northern Arizona
(hereafter MNA) staff to excavate, analyze, and interpret 9 prehistoric archaeological sites (B:15:138, C:02:096,
C:13:010, C:13:70, C:13:099, C:13:291, C:13:347, C:13:371, G:03:020) located along the banks of the Colorado River.
The work will be guided by an implementation plan drafted under Cooperative Agreement No. CA # H1200040002 (see
attached). The implementation plan describes methods for site testing, excavation, stabilization, and visitor interpretation.
This project is a cooperative venture between GRCA and MNA, whereby both entities will be cooperating regarding
archaeological investigations at nine sites along the Colorado River corridor within GRCA. This work is consistent with
the objectives of the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CPCESU) in that it provides an opportunity
for research within GRCA related to cultural resources information and management. GRCA will provide funds for
MNA participation in the project and will collaborate in all aspects of the project. The project will be implemented in
FY2006 and completed in FY2011.
