CRM, Kinteel, and the Community of Wide Ruins

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 80th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA (2015)

Northland Research, Inc. completed excavations on the Wide Ruins Road on the Navajo Nation in the summer of 2014. Excavations yielded important archaeological data and provided tangible public benefit to the community of Wide Ruins. Project data also generated research questions that had not been fully considered prior to the beginning of the project. These posters cover a range of topics related to the Wide Ruins project including; its important public benefit, the social significance of recovered fauna, an assessment of the role of oral history in today's archaeology and commentary on significance testing for this road project.
