The Dolores Legacy: A User's Guide to the Dolores Archaeological Program Data

Part of the Dolores Archaeological Program project

Editor(s): Richard H. Wilshusen; Karin Burd; Jonathan D. Till; Christine G. Ward; Brian Yunker

Year: 1999

Summary

A user's guide to the Dolores Archaeological Program data, compiled with assistance from a State Historical Fund grant from the Colorado Historical Society. This is highly recommended as a point of entry into the large and complex DAP datasets. It contains a general introduction to the DAP and its datasets, by Richard Wilshusen; an introduction to the provenience data and DAP temporal-spatial taxonomy and interpretations, by Christine Ward; brief descriptions of each of the major databases; an afterword written by William D. Lipe (View from the Lake: Legacies of the Dolores Archaeological Program, SW Colorado), and several appendices, including Appendix II, an abridged data dictionary for these datasets.

This project compiled the DAP datasets maintained on ARGUS at the Anasazi Heritage Center into database files (.dbf) and wrote them to a CD, distributed with this volume. That CD was the source for the files presented here, in several cases with additional editing to remove unused fields, undocumented fields, or fields that did not appear to contain usable data.
