Part of: School of Human Evolution and Social Change
The Arizona State University Center for Archaeology and Society is an organization that addresses enduring issues in the present by using archaeology's unique access to the diversity of solutions developed by ancient Southwestern cultures. The Center is concerned with artifacts, archaeological sites and ancient landscapes – the objects, buildings and places of the past – both in their own right and for what they tell us about the societies that made and used them. It investigates the organizational strategies, management of resources and technological developments of ancient societies in order to understand the ways in which they adapted to their environments. Through these efforts the Center addresses contemporary concerns with sustainability, the implications of technology and the resilience of different forms of social and economic organization, particularly in arid regions such as the U.S. Southwest. The Center pursues this mission with innovative efforts in academic research; physical and digital object curation; formal and informal education; and community engagement.

Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve Digital Collections The reports and records in this collection describe the rock art now interpreted at the The Deer Valley Rock Art Center (DVRAC) and the archaeological investigations that led to DVRAC’s founding in 1994. Paper copies of the reports and other archives, as well as its research library, are now housed at the Center for Archaeology and Society Repository at Arizona State University. In an effort to both preserve these documents and make them more accessible to rock art researchers, a portion of these records are now available on...
