Glyphs and Quarries of the Lower Colorado River Valley: The Results of Five Cultural Resources Surveys (1993)
The focus of this volume is the lower Colorado River valley, one of the least understood regions of the American Southwest. After over 50 years of archaeological research, the lower Colorado River remains a mystery. No major prehistoric habitation site has been located, presumably because they have all been destroyed by the river. Consequently, even the rudiments of culture history remain to be worked out. When did people arrive in the area? What did they live on? How did culture evolve in this...
Of Stones and Spirits: Pursuing the Past of Antelope Hill (2000)
Antelope Hill (AZ X:8:7 [ASM]) is a well-known archaeological site in the lower Gila River valley. The hill has been used as a quarry for milling implements and many of its boulders are covered in petroglyphs. In response to a 500-year flood event, the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District (WMIDD) proposed to use its quarry at Antelope Hill to supply rock to repair damaged water-control devices along the Gila River. This undertaking required a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of...

Recent Research Along the Lower Colorado River: Proceedings from a Symposium Presented at the 59th Annual Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology, Anaheim, California, April 1994 (1994)
The papers in this volume—an outgrowth of the symposium presented at the 59th Annual Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology—reflect the growing interest in the prehistory and protohistory of this area, which is perhaps the most poorly understood region in the greater American Southwest. They further reflect an increasing concern on the part of archaeologists, Native Americans, and federal land managers regarding modern human activity that has adversely impacted many of the cultural...
